“The combination of ursolic acid and resveratrol (from grape skin) also shrank the prostate tumors in mice. Many different tumor types rely on glutamine as a carbon source for energy and as a nitrogen source for building more DNA and proteins (macromolecular synthesis). Additionally, these compounds also activated pathways involved in cell death.”

“On average, people receiving these treatments exhibited a moderate improvement in symptom severity compared to those taking a placebo. Omega-3 fatty acids and plant-based compounds, such as curcumin and soy protein, appeared particularly beneficial.”

“Iron-chelating nutrients include polyphenolic compounds, such as gallic acid and catechins (in tea), caffeic acid (in coffee), quercetin (in apples and onions), ellagic acid (in walnuts and pomegranates), curcumin (in turmeric) and others.”

“Some nutrients and bioactive compounds, such as curcumin, capsaicin, resveratrol, and omega-3 fatty acids, may increase brown fat production, too. Link to full study. Listen to this podcast in which Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes how cold exposure induces brown fat production.”

“Piperine is a bioactive compound found in black pepper that exerts anti-inflammatory, anti-pain, and anti-arthritic properties. Evidence indicates that piperine potentiates the beneficial health effects of curcumin, a bioactive compound found in turmeric.”

“Evidence suggests that these compounds exert protective effects in humans, reducing the risk of many acute and chronic diseases. Scientists have identified thousands of plant defensive compounds that may benefit human health; perhaps the best known of these include sulforaphane, curcumin, and resveratrol.”

“Supplements: Daily supplements, including omega-3 fatty acids, curcumin, a multivitamin/mineral, coenzyme Q10, vitamin C, vitamin B12, magnesium L-threonate, lion’s mane mushroom, and a probiotic.”

“Several other supplements looked promising at first, including carotenoids, calcium, CoQ10, curcumin, vitamin D3, and NAD+ boosters. But most of these early links faded after more careful statistical testing.”

“In a double-blind randomized trial of 191 adults with borderline-high cholesterol, 3 grams per day of high-molecular-weight oat beta-glucan—taken as 1 gram three times daily for four weeks—reduced LDL cholesterol by about 6% and estimated 10-year Framingham cardiovascular disease risk by about 8% compared with a rice-powder control.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses microdosing nicotine, GlyNac benefits, intermittent fasting and hair loss, and cold & flu relief.
