Green tea has been known for its health benefits for many years. Studies in recent years have identified several mechanisms by which the active ingredient in green tea EGCG has several molecular mechanisms to prevent and fight cancer. Always talk to your doctor before implementing any new supplement, medication, or natural compound.
These anti-cancer actions include the suppression of cancer cell growth, suppression of cancer cell proliferation and colony formation, anti-inflammatory action, induction of apoptosis of cancer cells, antioxidant activity, modulation of the immune system, as well as several preventive functions.
EGCG furthermore inhibits glutamine by blocking glutamate dehydrogenase and restricting glutamine catabolism, affecting cancer cells most as they have the highest need for glutamine uptake as one of their fermentable fuels.
Therefore green tea/EGCG can be a very valuable supplement to be included in metabolic therapy.
