NCIt definition : A nutritional supplement containing a variety of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals
and amino acids, including glycyrrhizic acid, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), zinc,
vitamins B5, B6 and B12, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), folic acid, malic acid, glucosamine,
arginine, and glycine, with potential immunomodulating, anti-inflammatory, protective,
and antineoplastic activities. Upon oral administration, the antioxidants in the solution
modulate certain enzymes involved in inflammation and oxidative stress and downregulate
certain pro-inflammatory mediators. They also scavenge free radicals. This protects
against inflammation- and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced cellular damage. In
addition, this formulation may also inhibit various signal transduction pathways involved
in inflammation and cancer, may suppress the growth of susceptible tumor cells, induce
tumor cell cycle arrest, induce apoptosis and reduce angiogenesis and metastasis.;
