Green Tea and Its Bioactive Theanine That Promote Tobacco Cessation Naturally

Green tea mixed in tobacco can significantly improve chronic cigarette smokers to quit smoke naturally, some scientists suggested.

Smoking has a history in many cultures dated back as early as 5000 BC. Europeans who arrived to America in the 16th century have quickly transformed the land to cultivated these plants for commercial profits and encourage consumption.



Our ancestors used tobacco smoke as a healing practice and enhanced pleasure. However, according to the study of the University of Manchester(4), our ancestor also use tobacco for healing purposes.
* Tobacco medical use that is administered externally includes bites of poisonous reptiles and insects; hysteria; pain, neuralgia; laryngeal spasm; gout; growth of hair; tetanus; ringworm; rodent ulcer; ulcers; wounds; a respiratory stimulant.

* Tobacco medical use that is administered by rectum includes constipation; hemorrhoidal bleeding

* Tobacco medical use that is administered internally, includes strangulated hernia (smoke by mouth); malaria or intermittent fever; dislodging obstructive material from the esophagus by inducing vomiting. And
* Tobacco medical use by inhalation includes nasal polyps.


Sadly, the medical use of tobacco now is considered nonexistence. At of today statistic, tobacco smoking including cigarettes is causing over 3 million deaths a year worldwide, and if current smoking trends continue the annual mortality will exceed 10 million by around 2030, Dr. Anne Charlton, the author of the study suggested(4).


Continuously, the doctor said, " Tobacco leaves and the smoke generated when they are burned contain over 4 thousand chemicals, the best known of which is nicotine, first isolated from tobacco leaves in 1828 by Posselt and Reimann. It is the nicotine that causes smokers to become addicted to tobacco, and the chemical itself is lethal in small doses".

According to a statistic from the CDC, more than 4 out of 10 (45.5%) of all high school students who smoke tried to stop smoking in the past 12 months. Since 2002, the number of former smokers has been greater than the number of current smokers in the US(5).

Truly, a high percentage of smokers try to quit, however, smokers who successfully quit smoke are quite low because nicotine is highly addictive.

Green tea contains more amount of antioxidants than any drinks or foods with the same volume, and is the leaves of Camellia sinensis, undergone minimal oxidation during processing, originated from China.

In the study to test the effects of tea filter in promoted tobacco cessation in volunteers smokers, researchers found that smoking tobacco with tea filter successfully decreased cigarette consumption of participants by 56.5%, and 31.7% of them stopped smoking(1).

Further analysis of tea filter effects suggested the results may be attributed to the tea filter's bioactive chemical theanine in exerting anti-tobacco and nicotine addiction activities.

Dr. Yan J, the lead author said, "This work identified a new method and material, tea filter and theanine, which inhibit tobacco and nicotine addiction and provide an effective strategy for treating tobacco addiction"(1).

Additionally, in the review of clinical studies evaluating herbals use for smoking cessation from databases from its inception to October 2012. Studies are restricted to only English or Thai, researchers indicated that out a total of 7 studies met inclusion criteria; 6 studies were a randomized trial (RCT) evaluating a variety of herbals.


According to the smoking cessation measured with various methods including the number of cigarettes per day, abstinence rate, expired CO level, and urine cotinine level at the 3 and 6 months follow up, application of mix herbal tea showed a statistically significant effect in reduced numbers of cigarettes smoked per day, nicotine craving, and total withdrawal scale but not urinary cotinine excretion(2).


However, Dr. Kitikannakorn N, the lead scientists, after taking into account of other co and confounders said, "Evidence supporting the role of complementary medicines as an anti-smoking is limited. Further research in this field would benefit from the standardization of herbals products to implement on standard interventions and outcome measurement for smoking cessation".


Interestingly, according to the study by the Science China Life Sciences to test the effect of green tea lace in a cigarette in increased smoke cessation probability, researchers found that custom-designed cigarettes laced with green tea components exerted a significant effect in reduced smoking cravings.


After 2 months of smoking this unique cigarette, researchers found that smoker reduced their smoking intake by 52% compared to control.

These results be of successful may be attributed to green tea bioactive amino acid L-Theanine, uniquely found in green tea that processes clinical proven anti-stress effects and acts as a relaxing agent(3).


Prince Philip, a lecturer in the Community Oncology Division of the Malabar Cancer Centre, said, "The study conducted in China shows that green tea may be an alternative to quit this addictive habit".


Taking all together, green tea used cigarette lace may be considered as a secondary and therapeutic treatment in increased the change of quit smoking. However, how many people have the money to order these types of customer designed cigarette?. Probably, we may stick to cold turkey quitting?, nicotine patch?

Phytochemical Alliin Inhibits Parameters Involved in the Onset of Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions including obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, hypertriglycemia, hyperlipidemia associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

In other words, if you have 3 of conditions of obesity, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, elevated blood sugar, and low HDL cholesterol, you are at the increased risk of CVD and diabetes.

Epidemiological studies suggested people who are overweight and obesity and physical inactivity and have a condition of insulin resistance are most likely to have metabolic syndrome developing.

In the unpreventable risk factors such as aging, ethnicity, and a dietary carbohydrate, with a lower intake of crude fiber are also found in the people with the condition.

According to the statistics, among US adults aged 18 years or older, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome rose by more than 35%. From 1988–1994 to 2007–2012, the condition increased from 25.3% to 34.2%.

Out of many risk factors associated with the onset of metabolic syndrome, some researchers suggested the promotion of the Western diet over the past few decades may be the major culprit in inducing the rise of the metabolic syndrome, globally.

Dr. Mohammad G. Saklayen in the investigation of the global epidemic of the metabolic syndrome said, "Though it started in the Western world, with the spread of the Western lifestyle across the globe, it has become now a truly global problem. The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is often more in the urban population of some developing countries than in its Western counterparts.

And, " The two basic forces spreading this malady are the increase in consumption of high calorie-low fiber-fast food and the decrease in physical activity due to mechanized transportations and sedentary form of leisure time activities".

The results strongly suggested if you are the Western diet follower, your risk of metabolic syndrome increase many folds compared to those of traditional diet.

Alliin (S-allyl-L-cysteine-S-oxide) is a phytochemical compound sulfoxide,. a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, belonging to the class of sulfur compounds, found abundantly in fresh garlic and onion.

On finding a natural ingredient with anti-metabolic syndrome activity, researchers examined the synthetic form of S-ally-mercapto captopril (CPSSA), a new stable synthetic compound produced by composition of allicin and captopril.

On fructose-induced metabolic syndrome rat model, alliin at 8 mg/kg-day exerted a significant effect by inhibiting the expression of metabolic parameters such as insulin, triglycerides, and homocysteine concentrations with a lesser effect of SBP

Compared to alliin, Captopril (50mg/(kg day)) only improved blood pressure and homocysteine.

Compared to a low dose of CPSSA (5mg/(kg day)) that lowered SBP but did not improve any other measured parameter, a higher dose (50mg/(kg day)) showed a significantly decreased blood pressure, triglycerides, and homocysteine concentrations.

The results strongly suggested that CPSSA, the combination of alliin and captopril may be used for the reducing risk of metabolic syndrome.

In the examination of treatment strategies for MetS include pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic options, associated with the use of nutraceuticals, most of which have plant origins (phytochemicals), accompanied by lifestyle improvement, researchers found that alliin from garlic with an adequate dose should improve a number of the MetS components.

Taken altogether, alliin used alone or combined with conventional medicine may be considered supplements for prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of alliin in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Herbal Ashwagandha Improved Muscle Mass and Strength In Exercise

The Muscle is a soft tissue in the body containing protein filaments of actin and myosin that slide past one another, with a function to produce force and motion.

In other words, muscle contraction and expansion that changes both the length and the shape allow us to move and lift.

Muscle mass is the calculation of the weight of the muscles in the body in kilograms or pounds. However, other factors may also interfere with the above calculation including height, ethnicity, and fitness level.

Increased muscle mass is associated with lower fat accumulation and the ability to burn calories/energy.

Some researchers suggested, by boosting your muscle mass, you will also improve your health, including* Boosts your metabolism. Dr. Alexandra C. McPherron, the lead scientist said, "increasing skeletal muscle mass by inhibiting signaling of myostatin, a transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family member that negatively regulates muscle growth, prevents the development of diabetes in a mouse model of lipodystrophy. Muscle-specific myostatin inhibition also prevented hyperphagia suggesting muscle may regulate food intake".

In other words, increasing muscle mass improve your body metabolism.
* Improves Bone Mass. Dr. Colletti LAand colleagues said, "additional evidence that muscle-building exercise is associated with increases in BMD at weight-bearing sites but not at on weight-bearing sites".

* Reduces fat accumulation. Dr. Silva TR, the lead scientist wrote, "Skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) was positively correlated with physical activity (r = 0.205, P = 0.038) and protein intake (r = 0.334, P = 0.001), and negatively correlated with waist circumference (r = -0.505, P < 0.001) and %body fat (r = 0.808, P < 0.001)".

Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, Middle East, and the Mediterranean. The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.

On finding a potent anti-aging compound, researchers examined the effects of ashwagandha root extract on muscle mass and strength in healthy young men engaged in resistance training.

The randomized, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study included 57 young male subjects (18-50 years old) with little experience in resistance training randomized into treatment received 300 mg of ashwagandha root extract twice daily, (29 subjects) and placebo, consumed starch placebos (28 subjects) groups.

Besides baseline measurements, both groups also underwent resistance training for 8 weeks with measurements repeated at the end of week 8.

Based on the results of measurement of the participants in both groups, compared to placebo, the treatment group showed significantly greater increases i
* In muscle strength on the bench-press exercise (Placebo: 26.4 kg vs. Ashwagandha: 46.0 kg)

* In the leg-extension exercise (Placebo: 9.8 kg) vs. Ashwagandha: 14.5 kg)

* In muscle size increase at the arms (Placebo: 5.3 cm(2) vs. Ashwagandha: 8.6 cm(2))

* In chest (Placebo: 1.4 cm vs. Ashwagandha: 3.3 cm).

Furthermore, ashwagandha treated group also had a significantly greater reduction of exercise-induced muscle damage.

Moreover, Ashwagandha treated group also showed a significantly greater increase in testosterone level (Placebo: 18.0 ng/dL Ashwagandha: 96.2 ng/dL)

More importantly, there was a significantly greater decrease in body fat percentage in treament group compared to placebo (Placebo: 1.5% vs. Ashwagandha: 3.5%).

Based on the finding, researchers wrote, "ashwagandha supplementation is associated with significant increases in muscle mass and strength and suggests that ashwagandha supplementation may be useful in conjunction with a resistance training program".

Taken altogether, Ashwagandha may be used as a supplement for the improvement of muscle mass and strength in the resistance training program, pending to the results from the large sample size and multicenter study

How to Cure Impetigo Naturally With No Adverse Effects, US National Library of Medicine Studies Suggestions

Green tea or tea lotion may have a therapeutic and positive effect better than conventional medicine Framycetin and Cephalexin gramicidin (soframycin) in treatment of impetigo, some scientists suggested.

The disease investigation was differentiated by numbers of institutes including Baghdad University and the results of the studies were published on online literature.

You can view the abstract of studies from PubMed, by clicking any of the resources' link.

Impetigo is a skin condition caused by bacterial skin infection with symptoms of blisters and sores,
around the nose and mouth, and on the arms or legs. In some case, it may appear in the facial area.

The disease infects mostly children.

In differentiated the effect of tea lotion against impetigo infected by bacteria, researchers at the Baghdad University conducted a study with participated of a total of 104 patients, including 47 females (45.2%) and 57 males (54.8%) with ages ranged from one month to 40 years with a median of 4 years.

Patients were randomly assigned to the treatment group with green tea applied to the infected areas and control group.

According to the diagnosis from the swabbed collected from patients, and analysed by microbiology impetigo contagiosa, pure S. aureus and combination of S. aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes were presented in 94.3% and 5.7% respectively in all patients.

These results suggested that the prevalent risk of impetigo is mostly caused by the infection of S. aureus.

Application tea lotion, including green tea, demonstrated a significant effect in reduced infectious areas substantially with the successfully cured rate of 81.3% in compared to control nontreatment group.


In examining the 40 patients in control group further assigned to 2 groups received either an ointment containing Framycetin or gramicidin (soframycin), researchers found that Framycetin and cephalexin gramicidin (soframycin) exerted a potential a cure rate of only 72.2% and 78.6%, respectively.

The results suggested that tea ointment or lotion displayed a better effect in treating impetigo in compared to conventional medicine Framycetin and gramicidin (soframycin) without inducing any adverse effects.

Dr. Sharquie KE, after taking into account of other co and confounders said: "(tea lotion) demonstrated the anti-bacterial action of crude tea in vivo, against impetigo contagiosa".

In further evaluation of green tea effect in reduced prevalence of skin infection, researchers at the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine Rochester showed that catechins found in green tea have shown promise for having antimicrobial effects, particular in the fractions of (-)-epicatechin (EC), (-)-epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), and (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG).

Researchers continued, application of green tea bioactive catechin exhibited a variety of antimicrobial mechanisms and may be considered as a potential for preventive and therapeutic purposes.

In fact, relatively low concentrations of ECG was found to sensitize methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) clinical isolates to levels of oxacillin.

And, Catechin gallates such as ECG also showed to intercalate into phospholipid bilayers, affecting both virulence and antibiotic resistance by perturbing the function of the bacterial process of invasion.

The results may be attributed to green tea effect in reduced key processes associated with the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane.

However, further data collection on studies performed with human consumption during the course of infections, and studies on the occurrence of infections in populations that consume regular amounts of green tea will be necessary to complete the picture of its antimicrobial possibilities.

Phytochemical Alliin, The Best Natural Antioxidants

Antioxidants are stable atoms that inhibit oxidation caused by free radicals.

Free radicals, on the other hand, are unstable atoms with an unpaired electron in the outermost ring.

Therefore, in order for them to achieve stable, free radicals are always ready to intercept or donate an electron to other stable atoms, leading to a cascade that cannot be stopped until all electrons in the outermost ring are paired or inhibited by antioxidants.

Overexpression of free radicals in the long-term can lead to oxidative stress, leading to proteins and lipids and cell damage in facilitating the onset of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neuro diseases,... and caners.

Most cases of oxidative stress is a result of an imbalance of the ratio of the levels of free radicals and antioxidant.

Believe it or not, free radicals in a moderate amount and in the control of the presence of antioxidant are essential for the body in food and energy metabolism and blood circulation.

Dr. V. Lobo, the lead scientist in the evaluation of "Free radicals, antioxidants, and functional foods: Impact on human health". wrote, "Free radicals reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species are generated by our body by various endogenous systems, exposure to different physiochemical conditions or pathological states. A balance between free radicals and antioxidants is necessary for proper physiological function".

And, " Synthetic antioxidants such as butylated hydroxytoluene and butylated hydroxyanisole have recently been reported to be dangerous for human health. Thus, the search for effective, nontoxic natural compounds with antioxidative activity has been intensified in recent years".

The results suggested by maintaining an adequate amount of functional foods (not synthetic antioxidants) with plenty of antioxidants, oxidative stress may be preventable.

Alliin (S-allyl-L-cysteine-S-oxide) is a phytochemical compound sulfoxide,. a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, belonging to the class of sulfur compounds, found abundantly in fresh garlic and onion.

With an aim to find the potential compound for the treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress, researchers examined the antioxidant activity of bioactive compound alliin.

Compared to garlic compounds representing the four main chemical classes, alliin, allyl cysteine, allyl disulfide, and allicin, prepared by chemical synthesis or purification, researchers found that alliin showed a better-scavenged superoxide property, particularly in hydroxyl radicals compared to others compound.

Allicin, a derivative of alliin suppressed the formation of superoxide by the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system, probably via a thiol and allicin exchange mechanism in the prevention of formation of free radicals.

However, Alliin and allicin did not prevent induced microsomal lipid peroxidation.

In other words, alliin is antioxidants with the free radical scavenging property.
Dr. Chung LY said in the final report, "allyl disulfide, alliin, allicin, and allyl cysteine exhibit different patterns of antioxidant activities as protective compounds against free radical damage".

In bone resorption associated with osteoclast differentiation and fusion, alliin (S-allyl-l-cysteine sulfoxides, SACSO) displayed a significant antioxidant activity by inhibiting the osteoclastogenesis with a dose-dependent manner via blocking the (c-Fos-NFATc1) signaling pathway involved cell differentiation and fusion.

Furthermore, alliin protected the bone density by decreasing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibiting the expression of (NADPH oxidase 1 (Nox1)) protein associated with elevated ROS reactive oxygen.

Taken altogether, alliin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of diseases involved in oxidative stress, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of alliin in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Green Tea and its Bioactive epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) in Attenuated Risk, progression of Fibromyalgia Caused by Inflammatory Rheumatic Disorders

Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reduced onset, progression and treatment of inflammatory rheumatic disorders induced fibromyalgia, some scientists suggested.

Green tea is a precious drink processed numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic condition characterized by muscle and soft tissue pain, affecting over 10 million (3.6% of the population) people in the US alone.

The inflammatory rheumatic disorder is a condition of autoimmune diseases caused inflammatory connective tissues, joint, and vessels of the body, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and vasculitis.


According to the Cairo University, as many as 15-30% of patients with classic inflammatory rheumatic disorders also have co-morbid fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) compared to the rate of only 2% of the prevalence of FMS in the general population (2%).

These results suggested that rheumatological syndromes have a strong implication in the development of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) compared to other initiators such as stress.

Therefore, patients with chronic rheumatic diseases are capable of triggering condition of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).

Due to the highly correlated rheumatologic disease and FMS component, researchers postulated "Considerations of the FMS component in the management of rheumatologic diseases increase the likelihood of the success of the treatment" and "(prevented) FMS in misdiagnosed as an autoimmune disorder"


In the study of the effect of green tea's active ingredient, epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) in risk of inflammatory rheumatic disorders in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice, researchers found that application of green tea demonstrates a substantially marked inhibition of the inflammatory mediators cyclooxygenase (COX) -2 in converting arachidonic acid in stimulated production of proinflammatory cytokine prostaglandin H2, in catalyzation of symptoms of inflammation in the muscles.

Furthermore, green tea EGCG oral ingestion also inhibited levels of interferon-gamma in precipitated inflammation by modulating T-cells and natural killer cells activated by antigens, mitogens or alloantigens to the site of infection.

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) involved in systemic inflammation, one of the cytokines that make up the acute phase reaction in mice was also inhibited by injection of green tea EGCG.

These result suggested that green tea ameliorated symptoms expression of inflammatory rheumatic disorders, through attenuating production pro-inflammatory factors without reducing the healing progression of injured tissue.


The above differentiation was supported by the study of green tea extract GTE in modestly ameliorated rat adjuvant-induced arthritis.



According to researchers, a daily per-oral administration of GTE (200 mg/kg) reduced expression of RA through reduced levels of MCP-1/CCL2 in expression (which can also be treated by biological agents, such as antibodies and inhibitory peptides) of a variety of diseases characterized by mononuclear cell infiltration involved substantial biological and genetic evidence, including RA.
and GROα/CXCL1 in the recruitment of inflammatory cells in the wound healing process after injury in angiogenesis and information of granulation tissue of wounds.


Additionally, application of green tea beside attenuated the expression of proinflammatory factors, its also exhibited the production of chemokine receptors CCR-1, CCR-2, CCR-5 in reduced direct communication between the innate and adaptive immune responses in initiated the development of inflammatory responses. through inactivation of leukocytes in inflamed tissues in contribution to the pathogenesis of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.


And CXCR1 receptor in binding to IL-8 in reduced expression some inflammatory cytokines in initiated inflammation such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).

Some researchers suggested that application of green tea extract may also reduce the symptoms of arthritis through expression of IL-6 levels, as increased levels of Il-6 was associated to the presence and progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) found in conventional clinical and laboratory indices and MMP-2 activity in activated immune-inflammatory response through inducing production of pro-inflammatory factors.


Taken together, green tea and its bioactive compound such as EGCG may have a profound and therapeutic effect in reducing the onset, progression, and treatment of fibromyalgia induced by inflammatory rheumatic disorders through modulating the production of pro and anti-inflammatory proteins. However, the intake of green tea supplement should be taken with extreme care due to recent reports of acute liver toxicity.

Phytochemical Betanin, the Chemo Prevention and Treatment of Cancer

Cancer is a class of chronic disease associated with the alternation of cell DNA.

Most cases of cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the organ tissue, before penetrating deeper into other layers to form a tumor.

Epidemiologically, most cases of cancer at the very early stage are asymptomatic. However, at the advanced stage, primary cancer cells can travel a distance away from the original site to infect other healthy tissues and organs.

Types of secondary metastasis can be classified into

1. Local spreading, lymph vessel, blood vessel

* Local spreading as soon as the cancer cells grow to its tumor size, it will invade the nearby area.

* Spread through lymph vessel
If some cancer cells detached from the primary tumor and travel, they can grow into secondary cancer but most of the time they are trapped in the nearby lymph nodes closest to the original tumor.

* Spread through blood circulation
Similar to spread through lymph vessel, cancer cells detached from an original tumor can enter the bloodstream by slipping pass the blood vessel wall and start growing into the secondary tumor as they are trapped into some small capillaries.

2. Travel of clumps of cancer along the channels
Sometimes, cancer cells detached from the primary tumor can travel through other channels and spread to some parts of the body that are more vulnerable to become metastatic sites than others.

3. The arrival of cancer cells at a distance site
The development of the survival of cancer cells gets trapped and grow into the second tumor.

4. Angiogenesis
Angiogenesis is a process involving the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels. The secondary tumor can persuade the adjacent tissue to build blood vessels by providing it with vital nutrients and oxygen.

At this stage, the overgrowth of the tumor may also press on the nerve cells, blood vessels, and healthy tissues, leading to specific symptoms, depending to the types of tumor accompanied by the general symptoms shared by all cancers.

Betanin is phytochemicals in the class of red and yellow indole-derived pigments of Betacyanins, belonging to the group of Betalains, found abundantly in beets, chard, etc.

In the urgency to find a potential and natural compound for the treatment of cancer with no side effects, researchers examined the effects of betanin (BET) in reducing the side effects of potent anticancer drugs e.g. doxorubicin (DOX) on the normal tissues in co-administration.

In order to overcome the incomplete oral absorption and low stability of BET that limits its application, synergistic effect of DOX@BET by a new pH-responsive nanocarrier via decoration of gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs) (methoxy poly (ethylene glycol)-poly ((2-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate-co-itaconic acid) (PGNPs) was designed.


According to the triggered release ability of drugs assays, the GNPs not only controlled the release of DOX and BET with adjusting the pH of the environment but also decreased the cell viability amount of breast cancer cells (MCF-7) compared to the free form of DOX or BET.

In other words, BET combined with DOX not only enhanced the chemo drug toxicity against cancer but also reduced the side effect found in the free form of DOX.

Furthermore, in two mouse lung tumor models, researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine investigated the chemopreventive activity of betanin by oral consumption.

The experiment included vinyl carbamate (VC) and benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) induced lung cancer female A/J mice with lung cancer were treated with betanin in drinking water.

According to the tested assays, injection of betanin significantly decreased tumor multiplicity and tumor load induced by both carcinogens by 20% and 39% in the VC lung model, and by 46% and 65% in the B(a)P lung model, respectively.

The efficacy of betanin in both lung cancer models has attributed to the phytochemical lung tumor inhibitory effects in the induction of apoptosis and inhibition of angiogenesis.

Dr. Zhang Q, the lead scientists after taking other factors into account wrote, " Our data show that betanin significantly inhibits lung tumorigenesis in A/J mice and merits investigation as a chemopreventive agent for human lung cancer:.

Taken altogether, betanin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of cancer, pending to the confirmation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of betanin in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
