Curcumin and EGCG Inhibit Breast Cancer Stem Cells

Keith D. Bishop, Clinical Nutritionist, B.Sc. Pharmcy - 01/01/2015

  • Alternative Breast Cancer Treatments: Curcumin and EGCG Inhibit Breast Cancer Stem Cells 

A small number of breast cancer stem cells inside the tumor are capable of sustaining and driving cancer cell formation, growth and recurrence. The cancer stem cells possess self-renewal capabilities and resist chemotherapy and generate tumor growth and metastasis.

Curcumin and EGCG Inhibit Breast Cancer Stem CellsIn a laboratory setting researchers used two breast cancer cell lines with HER2 and treated them with curcumin with or without EGCG. The combination of curcumin and EGCG treatment reduced breast cancer cell growth by reducing CD44 and inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation.

Researchers state “This study suggests that curcumin and EGCG function as antitumor agents for suppressing breast CSCs (Cancer Stem Cells).”

Curcumin is a spice that is not well absorbed. Adding BioPerine (black pepper extract) to curcumin enhances absorption by 200 to 2,000%. Bioperine may interact with the prescription Coumadin (warfarin). Click here to learn more about curcumin and BioPerine in DIMension 3 by Xymogen.

EGCG is available in Xymogen’s Green Tea 600. Each 600 mg capsule of Green Tea 600 contains 80% polyphenols, 60% catechins, and 30% EGCG. This is equivalent to approximately 10 cups of green tea. Click here to learn more about Xymogen Green Tea 600.
