Micronutrients are effective against tumor invasion and metastasis

Summary Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are substances produced by malignant cells to digest the surrounding tissues, induce metastasis and spread through the body. This study examined the effect of various compounds on MMPs. The experiments, executed with human lung cancer cells, indicated that a nutrient mixture (NM) and the green tea-derived compound epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) inhibited the…

Micronutrients are effective against inflammation

Summary The present study was conducted by the Dr. Rath Research Institute in California, USA. It investigated the effects of a micronutrient mixture against inflammation. The experiments were performed with human cells and mice and demonstrated an inhibitory effect of the micronutrients on various inflammatory mediators (cytokines, PGE2, COX2 and NfkB). The researchers thus concluded…
