In humans, observational studies have linked their intake with a lower risk of chronic disease, including cancer. Concentrating these foods into a capsule is a convenient way to boost an individual’s polyphenol intake but hitherto clinical studies have not firmly established that these benefit health or markers of cancer progression. Men with prostate cancer, managed with active surveillance or watchful waiting for a PSA relapse after radical treatments, are an ideal cohort to evaluate a lifestyle intervention as they have a useful serum marker of their disease (the PSA). In addition, medical interventions are often not indicated initially upon relapse. Furthermore, these men appear to have a great interest in self-help remedies as reports indicate that 50-70% of men with prostate cancer admit to taking over-the-counter supplements. It has been shown that men taking Pomi-T had a significantly lower median percentage rise in PSA compared to men taking a placebo.
