If you are not taking Vitamin E, you should start taking 400 to 800 IU a day to protect against heart disease. Protein Restriction and Prostate Cancer Rats fed protein-restricted diets for 20 weeks exhibited lower energy intakes, lower body weights and lower tumor growth rates than the control group. The metabolic clearance rate of serum prolactin was lower in rats fed the low protein diets for 16 weeks. Restriction in dietary protein caused significant changes in energy intake, serum hormone concentrations, prolactin metabolism, prostatic prolactin binding capacity and prostate tumor growth rates. These studies support the hypothesis that dietary protein and energy intake, particularly during periods of rapid growth and development, may alter prostate biology and increase the risk of prostate cancer.
Protein can promote excess prolactin secretion.
In lieu of severe dietary modification, prostate cancer patients may consider reducing elevated prolactin levels by taking the drug Dostinex under the care of a physician.

Vitamin D3 Decreases Cell Proliferation and Increases Nerve Growth Factor Vitamin D3 might have a role in neural cell growth and development. In this study, treatment of a murine neuroblastoma cell line in vitro with vitamin D3 resulted in a decrease in cell proliferation, a change in cell morphology, and the expression of protein markers of mature neuronal cells. The decrease in cell proliferation was accompanied by an increase in the expression of nerve growth factor.
