Effect of ginger, chamomile, and green tea extracts on prostate cancer cells
"snip..... Cell viability was measured using the MTT technique. Fig. 1A shows that chamomile and green tea exhibited mild cytotoxic effects on treated cells. In contrast, as seen in micrographs (Fig. 1B), the ginger extract significantly decreased the percentage of viable cancer cells among those treated with DMSO and other extracts."
Benefits of whole ginger extract in prostate cancer
Curcumin inhibits prostate cancer progression by regulating the miR‑30a‑5p/PCLAF axis
AND mushrooms! (Turkeytail supplement....we have them here in the US. )
Mushroom compound suppresses prostate tumors
And White Button mushrooms! White button mushroom extract may help slow progression of prostate cancer
Researchers point to the fact that white button mushrooms contain polysaccharides (β-glucan), which are known to play a role in immune response in cells when included in the diet. They state that other studies have been done showing that the same impact of polysaccharides taken from mushrooms on myeloid-derived suppressor cells in other studies by other teams, pointing to a potential reason for their findings.
“Overall, this paper not only opens the field to more research to better understand the mechanism conferring this additional effect but also suggests that b-glycans could have broader cancer applications, making mushroom-based compounds a promising addition to the future of immunotherapy,” Meunier said.
“Identifying the specific β-glucan from white button mushrooms responsible for its immune-boosting effects could help further cancer treatment. It would be important to pinpoint the precise β-glucan and understand its molecular action to optimize this additive effect in existing treatments,” he explained.
