Q: when taking certain otc supplements that claim to have a positive effect on testosterone levels, can too much be harmful and cause prostate issues if i have a family history of prostate issues/cancer?

: I do not recommend ANY otc supplements as they are unregulated, cost a ton, can be harmful and are not needed if you have a healthy diet. So pl stop. Starting age 40yrs start seeing a Urologist if you have a strong family history of cancer of the prostate
