FEBRUARY 9, 2021 FISETIN

FISETIN is a plant flavinoid that has been the subject of much research. The research has shown many different properties that help cancer.

When you discuss cancer the word “ apoptosis “ is often brought up. The ter, apoptosis is the programmed elination of cells in the body that are old and mutated. Cancer cells override these normal processes of apoptosis that remove dameged cells allopwing cancre cells to proliferate and thus spread.

Fisetin restores normal apoptotic processes which is good to control the malignant abnormalities that are seen in patients with cancer. In a triple negative study with patients with breast cancer, the fisetin reduced migration by 76 % whcih inhibited metastatic spread. More studies need to be done on this plant flavinoid.

Fisetin also inhibits many inflammatory factors such as TNF alpha, IL -1 and IL -6 If fisetin inhibits these factors there will be a reduction in inflammation.

Until tomorrow…
