CARASENG ORAL + IV
- It contains the concentrated extract of several anti-cancer compounds found in ginseng, a herb with a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine.
Cell culture studies on breast, liver, colon, prostate, lung, pancreatic, and brain cancer cells have shown that the ginseng extract induces death (technically known as apoptosis) in cancer cells.
- The two main active anti-cancer agents in Careseng are Rh2 and a variety of plant compounds known as dammarane sapogenins, found especially in the araliaceae (a large family of mostly tropical shrubs and trees, of which ginseng is one). Cell culture studies of dammarane sapogenins demonstrate that in addition to inducing cell death, they can also inhibit cancer cell proliferation, induce differentiation of cancer cells into a benign form, and block the function a protein (P-glycoprotein) found in cancer cells which is responsible for multi-drug resistance.
