TURMERIC
Curcuma longa
Active metabolites : Curcuminoids
Composition : 400 mg
TURMERIC VERSUS CANCER
The active metabolite of Curcuma longa (Turmeric) is Curcuminoids. It is a mixture of three compound i.e. Curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis demethoxy curcumin. Studies have shown that curcumin helps prevent several forms of cancer including breast, lung, stomach, liver, pancreas, prostrate, colon as well as multi-drug resistant cancer cells because of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It stops the development of cancer by interfering with the cellular signaling aspects of the chronic disease. Prevents regrowth of cancer stem cells. Based on a 2011 study conducted by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, researchers found that the curcumin extract effectively differentiates between cancer cells and normal cells while activating cancer cell death (apoptosis). Curcumin can stop metastasis (spread from one organ to another) of cancer cells.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
- Curcumin in the blood suppresses tumor growth of breast (1). It inhibits function and expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB) and, hence, limit the cancer cell lines.
- It inhibits COX-2, an enzyme that causes negative inflammation, which can lead to cancer (2).
- Curcumin-PHEMA-nanoparticles triggered programmed cell death in tumor cells and it was evident from the decreased expression of antiapoptotic Survivin (important regulatory protein for apoptosis) and decreased expression of VEGF (a stimulator of endothelial cell growth in many human cancer sites).
- Turmeric can act as antioxidant by preventing production of high amounts of ROS in the cells and, thus, block the process of carcinogenesis from happening (3).
- It impedes vascular epithelial growth (a polypeptide that stimulates new blood supply) to starve cancer cells of their oxygen and fuel source.
- It helps to kills large cell B-cell lymphoma cells (the most common reason for non-Hodgkin lymphoma).
- Curcumin also fights prostate cancer by reducing the expression of sex hormone receptors in the prostate gland.
- Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory property blocks the factors that induce human papilloma virus and activates cancer cell death within the uterine lining.

GANODERMA / REISHI MUSHROOM
Ganoderma lucidum
Active metabolites : Polysaccharides
Composition : 200 mg
GANODERMA VERSUS CANCER
The active metabolite of Ganoderma is polysaccharides that responsible for its anti-tumor efficacy. Ganoderma is popular as a cancer chemotherapy agent as it boosts immunity and fights the proliferation of cancer cells. Some studies have also shown Ganoderma lucidum may prevent cancer metastasis and inhibit angiogenesis (the formation of blood vessels made to supply nutrients to the tumor), or the migration of the cancer cells. It is also thought that polysaccharides work by inducing and enhancing apoptosis of tumor cells. Ganoderma lucidum helps to strengthen the immune system, to better manage radiation therapy and chemotherapy treatment and assists to improve the quality of life of the patient.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
- Polysaccharides in Ganoderma lucidum inhibits constitutively active transcription factors nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) and AP-1, which resulted in the inhibition of expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor uPAR (1).
- Ganoderma lucidum also supress cell adhesion and cell migration of highly invasive breast and prostate cancer cells, suggests its potency to reduce tumor invasiveness (1).
- It enhances to regulate immune and endocrine system, prevents tumours and eliminates free radical.
- Ganoderma inhibits DNA synthesis of cancer cells, destroys the terminal enzyme activity of the tumor cells, promotes macrophages and regulates T & B lymphocytes, thus restraining the spread of cancer cells (2).
- It enhances liver detoxification, thus improving liver function stimulating the regeneration of liver cells.
- It increases appetite and helps to relieve the pain during chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

WHET GRASS
Triticum aestivum
Active metabolites : Enriched with Chlorophyll
Composition : 400 mg
Other Ingredients
Minerals: Calcium, Phosphate, Zinc, Boron, Molybdenum, Alkaline earth metals, Potassium, Selenium
Amino Acids: Aspartic acid, Glutamic acid, Arginine, Alanine and Serine.
WHEAT GRASS VERSUS CANCER
Wheat grass (Tritcum aestivum contains a number of vitamins, mineral, amino acids and vital enzymes, these play an important role in anticancer approach. It is enriched with chlorophyll so it is called as ‘green blood’. In addition to this, chlorophyll is structurally analogous to haemoglobin. The structure of these two compounds depicts a striking similarity, the only difference between the two is the nature of the central metal atom magnesium in chlorophyll and iron in haemoglobin. The structural similarity between the two compounds is the reason behind the increased oxygen supply to all cells including cancer cells which are vulnerable to high oxygen concentration (1). This allows for the limited use of chlorophyll as a blood substitute. Wheat grass possesses the ability to modify the physiological functions of cells and hence can act as anticancer agent.High content of antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase and cytochrome oxidase have capacity to convert free radicals like reactive oxygen species to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen molecule (2) and inhibits oxidative DNA damageand helps to kill cancer cells (3).
MECHANISM OF ACTION
- Chlorophyll is also a solid cancer-preventer for several reasons. It can help to clean and oxygenate the blood. Remember that cancer cells need anaerobic, oxygen-deprived conditions in order to grow.
- Abscisic acid which is one of the components of the wheatgrass has ability to neutralise the effect of chronic gonadotropins and compounds similar to this hormone which has been found to be produced by cancer cells.
- Alkaline pH of wheatgrass also plays an important role in its anticancer approach as it helps to reduce the number of microbes in the diet which attenuates the incidence of secondary infections to a certain degree in the patient and the cancer cells succumb in a highly alkaline environment (4).
- Chlorophyll in wheatgrass helps to reduce inflammation in the body. A 2012 study published in the journal Inflammation found that chlorophyll reduced production of in vitro pro-inflammatory cytokines as systemic inflammation is a strong precursor for cancer.
- Chlorophyll is a powerful antioxidant and appears to protect against many dangerous carcinogens found in the environment and in food. Chlorophyll have a negative effect on “carcinogen bioavailability” (i.e. the amount of a cancer-causing substance that actually enters into circulation in the body).
- A study published in the international journal Tumour Biology found that chlorophyll can down-regulate the communication pathways cancer cells need to grow.
- Both chlorophyll in wheat grass and hemoglobin (red blood cells) are molecularly similar and has the ability to break down poisonous carbon dioxide and release free oxygen.

MORINGA (DRUM STICK)
Moringa oleifera
Active metabolites : Polyphenols
Composition : 500 mg
MORINGA VERSUS CANCER
Moringa is a cancer-killing agent and an effective in cancer prevention by increasing normal cell proliferation and preventing cancer cells from achieving metastatic growth. Moringa is enriched with proteins, vitamins, minerals & Amino acids. It has chemo-preventive properties and inhibits the growth of several human cancer cells. The leaves of Moringa protects organisms and cells from oxidative DNA damage, associated with cancer and degenerative diseases.The extract of Moringaoleifera leaves inhibits the viability of acute myeloid leukemia, lymphoblastic leukemia and hepatocellular carcinoma cells.Several bioactive compounds, including 4-(α-L-rhamnosyloxy) benzyl isothiocyanate, niazimicin and β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside present in Moringa oleifera may be responsible for its anti-cancer properties (1).
MECHANISM OF ACTION
- The overall mechanism of reduced cell viability and active participation in normal cellular activity could be attributed to the “shutting down” of various cancer survival pathways including the NF-Kβ signaling cascade by down regulating the important component p65 of NF-kβ by the compounds present in Moringa extracts (2).
- Moringa oleifera inhibits cancer cell proliferation is mainly due to the presence of eugenol, a phenolic natural compound which targets E2F1/survivin in cancer cells (3), D-allose (4), isopropyl isothiocynate etc.
- D-allose present in leaves of Moringa inhibits the growth of cancer cells at G1 phase (G1- cell cycle arrest) through specific thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP) induction and subsequent p27kip1 protein stabilization without exerting appreciable effects on normal cells (5).
- Moringa oleifera helps to prevent and kill breast cancer cells by anti-proliferative effects (6).
