Summary This article focuses on the effects of different nutrient combinations with polyphenols on cancer. It included studies with experiments on human cancer cell lines. A mixture containing quercetin, curcumin, green tea, cruciferous vegetables extract (cruciferex®) and resveratrol inhibited head and neck tumor growth. Furthermore, a combination of polyphenols (quercetin and green tea extract) with…
Summary This study tested the effect of vitamin C supplementation on tumor growth and metastasis. Humans cannot produce vitamin C. However, most animals can. To investigate the effect of vitamin C supplementation on metastasis and tumor growth in mice, the researchers altered the mice in a way that they were not able to synthesize vitamin…
Summary This study evaluated the effect of the amino acid lysine against leukemia. Various analyses were performed, including those of cells. It was found that lysine was able to induce the death of malignant cells and decrease metalloproteinases (MMPs). MMPs are substances produced by malignant cells to digest the surrounding tissues and spread through the…
Summary This study tested the effect of a nutrient mixture (lysine, proline, ascorbic acid and green tea extract) on leukemia. The experiments were performed with human cells and it was found that this special nutrient mixture inhibited the growth of leukemia cells. More details can be found in the study.

Summary This study evaluated the effects of a nutrient mixture (lysine, proline, arginine, ascorbic acid and green tea extract) on bladder cancer. The experiments were performed using human cells. The researchers concluded that this special nutrient mixture is an excellent candidate for therapeutic use in the treatment of bladder cancer. More details can be found…
Summary This study investigated the effect of vitamin C on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The experiments were performed with cells. The results showed that vitamin C inhibits HIV by interfering with specific enzymes that allow the virus to spread. Further details can be found in the study.

Summary This study from the Dr. Rath Research Institute for Cellular Medicine dealt with the effectiveness of a specific micronutrient combination – containing lysine, proline, arginine, vitamin C and green tea extract – against kidney cancer. The study was carried out with cells and tissues. It was demonstrated that the production of certain collagen digesting…
Summary In this study, the effect of a micronutrient combination containing lysine, proline, arginine, ascorbic acid and epigallocatechin gallate was tested on human prostate cancer cells. The study results show that the micronutrients effectively inhibited the growth and proliferation of cancer cells. Furthermore, the production of collagen-digesting enzymes – via which the cancer cells move…
Summary These two studies examined the effect of vitamin C supplementation on metastasis and tumor growth, for skin cancer and breast cancer, in mice that cannot produce endogenous vitamin C. During the study, the food and water given to a group of 36-38 weeks old female mice was supplemented with vitamin C for four weeks…
