Hello JonJac and thank you for your post

I am sorry to hear about your situation and appreciate you have a question about taking beetroot juice whilst on hormone treatment.

There is more information on Prostate Cancer UK webpages about the do and do not's when it comes to food that may be helpful to read.

Generally speaking we usually advise patients to check with their specialist doctor or nurse before taking supplements, just to be on the safe side.

There is some information about Beta carotene in which beetroot contains on the Memorial Sloan Kettering site that lists all herbs and supplements and research so far in terms of possible side effects and interactions.

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Best wishes,

Naomi
