Benefits Of Whey In Cancer

• Contains a number of bioactive components
• (Beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, serum albumin, immunoglobulin, and lactoferrin)
• These components demonstrate a range of immune-enhancing and antioxidant properties that result in effects on hypertension, cancer, hyperlipidaemia, and virus infections.

Why Immunonutrients For Cancer Patients ?

• Omega-3-fatty acid: Acts as an anti-inflammatory agent
• n-3 fatty – reduces associated side effects, particularly muscle wasting.
• Improvement in muscle health.
• A.S.P.E.N. also encourages supplementation with n-3 fatty acids of 2g daily to help stabilize weight.

Glutamine

Nutrient for an immune cell that improves gut Barrier function, acts as a precursor for Glutathione

• It significantly reduced the incidence of inflammation
• Prevent/delay esophagitis incidence & severity
• Radiation toxicity was reduced
• Treatment-induced weight loss was decreased

Supplement diminishes tumor growth... by restoring the function of natural killer cells. Improves protein metabolism of the host or patient. Improves results of antitumor drugs by protecting the patient from oxidative damage through an increase in GSH contents. Glutamine can also protect against oxidative damage induced by radiotherapy.

Benefits Of Antioxidants

LYCOPENE : A bright red carotenoid hydrocarbon is found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons, grapefruits, and papayas. Lycopene exhibits antioxidant and anticancer properties.

CURCUMIN : The primary bioactive substance in turn. Powerful antioxidants. Curcumin has beneficial effects, E.g. it can make chemotherapy more effective and protect healthy cells from damage by radiation therapy
