Rosemary extracts exhibit many beneficial biological bioactivities, such as hepatoprotective, antifungal, insecticide, antioxidant and antibacterial, each important to fight cancer.

SPIRULINA

SPIRULINA

Studies of spirulina platensis (SP), planktonic blue-green algae, are showing why SP is gaining increasing attention because of its super nutritional (e.g. protein comparable to eggs) and medicinal potential. This microalgae contains phycobiliproteins (phycocyanin and allophycocyanin) and studies show that C-phycocyanin (C-PC), a biliprotein found in Spirulina platensis (blue green algae) has a powerful potential of phyto-antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancerous and anti-tumorous properties.

TURMERIC

TURMERIC

Turmeric contains an active compound called curcumin, which has demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in numerous studies. These properties may help reduce the risk of cancer by suppressing chronic inflammation and protecting cells from oxidative damage.
