Mangosteen Kills 97% of Bladder Cancer Cells In Vitro: This - TopicsExpress



          

Mangosteen Kills 97% of Bladder Cancer Cells In Vitro: This breakthrough lab study showed that mangosteen extracts reduced viability of all seven types of human #bladder #cancer cells tested between 80% and 97% after 72 hours of treatment. Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men and eighth in women in the USA, with over 73,000 new cases ever year. The key compounds in #mangosteen responsible for killing the cancer cells were the xanthones gartanin and alpha-mangostin. The reason this study is a breakthrough is that it shows the levels of these xanthones required to kill off the cancer cells are actually achievable in real life. A previous study showed that people drinking mangosteen juice had urinary levels of xanthones of up to 11 micro-mol/Litre. At this level, the viability of all but two bladder cancer lines was reduced from 40% to 80% in the current study. Mangosteen has already been shown to inhibit breast, prostate, and colon cancers as well as melanoma, glioma, sarcoma, and leukemia in lab studies and is being intensely studied for its true anti-cancer potential. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=23682785 video: mmxgo/ky
