PC-SPES
What is PC-SPES?
PC-SPES is a mixture of herbs that was sold as a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatment for prostate cancer. The mixture contains these 8 herbs: Baikal skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra or Glycyrrhiza uralensis) Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) Isatis (Isatis indigotica) Chrysanthemum flowers (Dendranthema morifolium) Rabdosia rubescens (Isodon rubescens) PC-SPES was taken off the market because some batches were found to contain prescription medicines in addition to the herbs. Clinical trials of PC-SPES that were underway were stopped. There are products being sold now as substitutes for PC-SPES, but they are not the same mixture.
