Science overview: Hollings Cancer Institute Medical University of South Carolina.
Ellagic Acid
comes in 800 mg capsules of concentrated red raspberry seed flour and fruit
extract. Five capsules a day, provides 40 mg of Ellagic Acid extract.
These clinical evaluations will be conducted at
the
Medical University of S.C. and the
University of Madrid Medical School in Madrid, Spain.
Some of the data published by Dr. Nixon and his team at the Medical University
of South Carolina is presented here.
* Following exposure to Ellagic Acid from red raspberries.
human cervical cells, infected with the human papilloma virus (HPV) die within
several days due to a process termed apoptosis (normal cell death)(See newspaper
article on page 4)
Ellagic Acid causes the growth cycle (G1) arrest of cancer cells, thus,inhibiting
cell division (mitosis) and cellular proliferation
* Ellagic Acid from red raspberries prevents destruction of a cellular regulatory
gene, P53, by HPV oncogenies (genes responsible for cancer induction) in cervical
cells (p53 is regarded as the safeguard of normal cellular division and inactivated,
abnormal cell division/proliferation ensues)
* Similar protective effects were observed in breast, pancreas, esophageal,
skin, colon, leukemia and prostate cancer cells exposed to Ellagic Acid.
Consumption of 1 cup (150
grams) of fresh red raspberries (the equivalent of 40 milligrams of Ellagic
Acid) resulted in the appearance of circulating levels of Ellagic Acid in
the serum
one hour after ingestion.
Five of HTN's Ellagic Acid 800 mg capsules equal approximately 40 milligrams
or more of pure Ellagic Acid Extract, similar to the amounts used in the research
Summarizing, the data from Dr, Nixon's lab and other investigators
indicates that EIlagic Acid
(1) activates detoxifying enzymes in the liver resulting in the clearing
of cancer-causing chemicals (mutagens) in the serum,
(2) prevents the binding of carcinogens to cellular DNA,
(3) serves as an antioxidant in the scavenging and clearance of highly
destructive oxygen free radicals,
(4) induces apoptosis (programmed normal cell death) in cancerous cells, and
(5) stimulates the immune system for the destruction of cancerous cells.
Each of these atributes were found to
be important in reducing the incidence
of cancer in experimental models.
Finally, while the mechanism(s) are not yet fully known, research
performed in Europe indicate that Ellagic Acid may also be useful in
reducing the incidence of birth defects, promoting wound healing,
and limiting chemically induced liver fibrosis. In addition, some
investigators now believe that Ellagic Acid may be useful in the
prevention of heart disease and periodontal (gum) disease.
