Chemopreventive Health Supplements

When looking for chemopreventive health supplement, it is important to seek a product that contains substances that stop or keep cancer from developing. This will help not only prevent cancer but also discourage cancer from coming back in patients post-cancer treatment.

An example of such an example is Antrodia Camphorata Mycelia, a rare fungus found naturally only in Taiwan that is referred to as a “national treasure of Taiwan” and is used as an herbal medicine for various ailments.

Antrodia Camphorata Mycelia possesses a number of bioactive properties such as anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive, anti-hepatitis B virus replication, hepatoprotective and neuroprotective functions. This helps in ensuring that products containing it will be a chemopreventive health supplement.

Apart from this, more commonly acquirable chemopreventive products include over-the-counter aspirin, which may lower the risks of many cancers among people.

As most chemopreventive products are still currently in clinical trials, most chemopreventive products have not yet proven to be 100% effective.
