Alternate, complementary, and preventive

oncologic nutraceuticals

N

utraceutical use may be targeted at any number

of health-related goals. Numerous nutraceutical

classifications exist. Within each nutraceutical class,

are nutraceuticals with oncologic benefits. Therefore,

this presentation seeks to illustrate nutraceutical

classification with an emphasis on preventive,

complementary (additive, synergistic, or adverse effect

ameliorating), and alternative (curative) oncologic

nutraceuticals. Most nutraceutical categories abound

with existing or potential alternative, complementary,

and preventive oncologic nutraceuticals. Organic acids

may be chemopreventive. Alkaloids are well established

as chemopreventive via

Camellia sinensis

, and

alternative, via

Taxus

spp. derivatives. Polysaccharides

include immune boosting chemopreventive mushrooms

and complementary ginseng, which reduces radiation

therapy adverse effects. Organosulphurs may inhibit

lung cancer and prevent estrogen excess driven

cancers. Docosahexanoic acid has dose-dependent

anti prostate cancer activity. Nutraceutical bases for

homeopathic remedies retain direct medicinal activity.

The breadth and depth of nutraceuticals should result in

more than 25% of conventional pharmaceuticals being

nutraceutical derived. Bio-pharmacologic engineering

harnessing microorganisms to produce phytonutrients

reduces the likelihood of supply limitations that have

affected

Taxus

spp. derivatives. The future could

experience decreased cancer incidence, more tolerable

and more effective cancer treatment.
