2. Usage
(1). Function of anti-cancer and anti-mutation
Ellagic acid has function of anti-cancer and anti-mutation. Ellagic
acid and other ellagic tannin has inhibitory action on
immune-deficiency virus, the reverse transcription enzyme of AMV and
&cell DNA polymerase
(2). Ellagic acid has the function of antioxidation because it can
chelate with metal and react with free radical. It prevents other
substances from oxidating as a kind of oxidant. It has been used
during the maturation of fruit wine and processing of food to
prevent cooking oil, fat and methyl oleate, lard and bean oil from
oxidating.
Description
Ellagic acid is a compound found in raspberries, strawberries,
cranberries, walnuts, pecans, pomegranates, and other plant foods.
Overview
Research in cell cultures and lab animals has found that ellagic
acid may slow the growth of some tumors caused by certain
carcinogens. While this is promising, at this time there is no
reliable evidence from human studies showing that ellagic acid in
any form can prevent or treat cancer. Further research is needed to
determine what benefits it may have.
How is it promoted for use?
Ellagic acid seems to have some anti-cancer properties. It can act
as an antioxidant, and has been found to cause apoptosis (cell
death) in cancer cells in the lab. There are also reports that it
may help the liver to break down or remove some cancer-causing
substances from the blood.
Some supporters have claimed these results mean that ellagic acid
can prevent or treat cancer in humans. This has not been proven.
Unfortunately, many substances showing promise against cancer in lab
and animal studies have not been found to be useful in people.
Ellagic acid has also been said to reduce heart disease, birth
defects, liver problems, and to promote wound healing. There are no
results from human studies to support these claims at this time.
What does it involve?
The highest levels of ellagic acid are found in raspberries,
strawberries, and pomegranates, especially when they are
freeze-dried.
Extracts from red raspberry leaves or seeds, pomegranates, or other
sources are said to contain high levels of ellagic acid, and are
available as dietary supplements in capsule, powder, or liquid
forms. The best dose of these preparations is not known. Because
they are sold as dietary supplements (as opposed to drugs),
companies that sell them do not have to prove they are effective, or
even safe, as long as they don?t claim they can prevent, treat, or
cure a specific disease.
What is the history behind it?
In recent years, researchers have begun focusing on phytochemicals,
which are compounds produced by plants. There is a huge amount of
folklore that surrounds phytochemicals, but scientific investigation
into their effects is still in the early stages.
Ellagic acid was studied in the 1960s mainly for its effects on
blood clotting. Early published research on ellagic acid and cancer
first appeared in the 1970s and 1980s. With the publication of
several small lab studies in the mid 1990s, ellagic acid began to be
promoted on the Internet and elsewhere as a means of preventing and
treating cancer.
What is the evidence?
Almost all studies conducted on ellagic acid to date have been done
in cell cultures or lab animals.
Several studies in lab animals have found that ellagic acid can
inhibit the growth of skin, esophagus, lung, and other tumors caused
by carcinogens. Other studies have also found positive effects. A
recent study in cell cultures found that ellagic acid may act
against substances that allow tumors to form new blood vessels.
Further studies are needed to determine if these results apply to
humans.
In the only study reported thus far in humans, Italian researchers
found that ellagic acid seemed to reduce the side effects of
chemotherapy in men with advanced prostate cancer, although it did
not help slow disease progression or improve survival. The
researchers cautioned that more research would be needed to confirm
these results.
The interaction between certain phytochemicals like ellagic acid and
the other compounds in foods is not well understood, but it is
unlikely that any single compound offers the best protection against
cancer. A balanced diet that includes 5 or more servings a day of
fruits and vegetables along with foods from a variety of other plant
sources such as nuts, seeds, whole grain cereals, and beans is
likely to be more effective in reducing cancer risk than eating one
particular food, such as raspberries, in large amounts.
Are there any possible problems or
complications?
Eating berries or other natural sources of ellagic acid is generally
considered safe, but should be part of a balanced diet including
several sources of fruits and vegetables each day.
Ellagic acid is available in supplement form, but it has not been
tested for safety. Some reports indicate it may affect certain
enzymes in the liver, which could alter levels of some drugs in the
body. For this reason, people taking medicines or other dietary
supplements should speak with their doctor before taking ellagic
acid. The raspberry leaf, or preparations made from it, should be
used with caution during pregnancy because they may initiate labor.
Relying on this type of treatment alone, and avoiding conventional
medical care, may have serious health consequences.
This is Terminalia chebula extract enriched in ellagic acid.
Terminalia chebula is, like Amla (Phyllantus emblica) a component of
Trifala, an anti-age ingredient in Ayurvedic medicine. Ellagic acid,
also present in pomegranate and raspberries, has some great
properties, including antiviral and antibacterial. Ellagic acid
helps our skin prevent the mutagenic action of some environmental
pollutants. It also helps prevent the formation of sun spots by UV.

Ellagic Acid Values
Ellagic
acid is a member of the family of phenolic compounds, which are
known to influence the quality, acceptability and stability of foods
by acting as flavorants, colorants, or antioxidants. It is a
substance that appears to block various hormone reactions and
metabolic pathways associated with the development of cancer.
Ellagic acid is exceptionally high in raspberries and blackberries;
the levels are approximately five to six times higher than those
levels found in some other fruits.
The Buzz
If you pay any attention at
all to the alternative-health information-grapevine, you’ve heard
the buzz on ellagic acid. If you believe the rumors flying around
the Internet, the cure for cancer is at hand!! This is the greatest
discovery since sliced bread!! Well, like most rumors, there’s some
truth to it…and a whole lot of nonsense.
The Truth
Two years ago, I wrote in
the Barron Report on antioxidants about the value of
including berries in your diet because of the benefits of the
ellagic acid derived from them. This recommendation was based on
work being done at the Hollings Cancer Institute by Dr. Daniel
Nixon, who had been studying the benefits of red raspberries for
some 6 years at that time. Since then, two things have changed
dramatically.
- First, the study
results are now becoming, for lack of a better word, remarkable
.
- Second, it is now
possible to get high quantities of ellagitannins without having
to consume a cup of berries every day.
Dr. Nixon’s published
results show:
- Consuming one cup of
red raspberries per day (40 mg of ellagitannins) prevents the
development of cancer cells. At low concentrations, it slows the
growth of cancer cells; at higher concentrations, it tells
cancer cells to kill themselves. For example, cells infected
with the human papilloma virus (which is linked to cervical
cancer), when exposed to ellagic acid experienced apoptosis, or
normal cell death.
- Red raspberry
ellagitannins slow the growth of abnormal colon cells in
humans.
- Tests reveal similar
results for breast, pancreas, esophageal, skin , and prostate
cancer cells. The ellagitannins also produce a breakdown in
human leukemia cells.
- Another way that
ellagitannins protect your body is through G-Arrest.
G-Arrest means that the ellagitannins stop cells from mutating
in the first place. If cells don’t mutate, then we don’t get
cancer. This is very important when you understand that that
every single day of your life you produce anywhere from a few
hundred to as many as 10,000 cancerous cells in your body as
part of your normal metabolism. In tests conducted by the
Hollings Cancer Institute with Ellagic Acid, G-Arrest began in
72 hours in both breast and cervical cancer.
- Red raspberry
ellagitannins prevent destruction of the P53 gene by cancer
cells. P53 prevents mutagenic activity in cervical cells.
- Red raspberry
ellagitannins protect human cells against cancer-causing agents
in tobacco smoke, food additives, and petroleum-based
substances. Ellagitannins act as scavengers to “bind”
cancer-causing chemicals, making them inactive. The
ellagitannins inhibit the ability of other chemicals to cause
mutations in bacteria. Red Raspberry ellagitannins also protect
DNA by blocking carcinogens from binding to the DNA.
- European medical
studies also demonstrate that red raspberry ellagitannins lower
the incidence of birth defects, promote wound healing, reduce
heart disease, and may reduce or reverse chemically induced
liver fibrosis. In addition, the ellagic acid produced from the
ellagitannins has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties
Apoptosis
The problem with cancer
cells is that when they divide, the original cell does not die.
The normal process of cell
division, on the other hand, results in the replicating cell being
“carried off” as trash just as if a bacterium had died. The body
signals the dismantling of the old cell and the new cell takes over
its processes. This is called apoptosis, or natural cell death.
Cancer cells, as mentioned
above, are different. Cancer cells do not die; they rapidly multiply
by cell division (mitosis), making 2 cancer cells, then 4, 8, 16, 32
and so on. What Dr. Nixon found is that in both lab and clinical
studies, red raspberry ellagitannins caused cancer cells to go
through a nontoxic, normal apoptosis process without damaging the
healthy cells. This is a remarkable improvement over standard
treatments.
Chemotherapy and radiation
do the same thing – kill cancer cells, that is. But they have a
devastating side effect that does not happen with the ellagitannins:
they kill healthy cells too -- destroying the immune system in the
process. More people probably die from the side effects of chemo and
radiation than actually die from the original cancer.
This is why Dr. Nixon’s
studies on ellagitannins are so exciting. Potentially, we’re talking
about an all-natural cancer treatment/preventative that provides
ALL of the benefits of chemo and radiation and NONE OF THE
SIDEFFECTS. An all-natural supplement, if you will, that can
literally be taken every single day to prevent most cancers from
ever even forming in your body.
