Research: LAMSON and BRIGNALL
Listed in Issue 67
Abstract
LAMSON and BRIGNALL, Tahome Clinic, Kent, VA, USA, reviewed 101 references on the use of nutritional supplements as chemopreventative agents.
Background
Methodology
Literature review of animal and in vitro data, human safety data and mechanisms of action of over-the-counter dietary supplements.
Results
Many over-the-counter nutritional supplements have been shown to have significant chemopreventative activity in preclinical studies. Few side effects are associated with even long-term use of these products.
Conclusion
Along with dietary and lifestyle risk-reducing strategies, nutritional supplementation is a viable intervention for those considered to be at high risk of developing cancer.
