Guest guest Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Aged Garlic constituent kills prostate cancer cells Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and deaths due to prostate cancer are increasing every year. There is no truly effective medical treatment for prostate cancer other than androgen blockage and killing prostate cancer cells is viewed as a better strategy to control prostate cancer. Previous studies report that Aged Garlic Extract suppresses cancer growth and enhances immune system function aimed at the cancer. In this study, Diallyl Disulfide, a major constituent of Aged Garlic Extract was studied for it's ability to block prostate cancer growth. The results show that the Aged Garlic constituent inhibited the growth of prostate cancer cells, and the more Aged Garlic Diallyl Disulfide the stronger the ability to destroy the prostate cancer cells. It literally caused the prostate cancer cells to die. The study is published in the April 2005 issue of the Biological Phatrmaceutical Bulletin.
