Description
Gabriel Lara-Hernández and co-authors published a research paper in 2024 on plant and algae compounds that can kill cancer cells in the lab. Many such compounds also mop up the chemical rust that some cancer drugs cause. The team tested several, plus three store-bought supplement blends, against five human cancer cell lines.
Apple polyphenols, a seaweed pigment, and plant forms of vitamin E all killed cells across bone, blood, colon, breast, and prostate lines. The vitamin E forms were strongest, stopping bone cancer cells at very low doses. One supplement blend hit bone and colon lines in particular. Both leads also pushed cells into orderly self-destruction. The authors call for more work on mixtures.
