Read customer questions and answers about breast cancer on our blog.
In general, most women are increasing their awareness of breast health care. Women who eat diets high in flaxseed and/or soy are associated with lower rates of breast cancer. Other dietary nutrients have been proven to be associated with lower rates of breast cancer. Women who consume the highest amounts of vitamin C in their diets have between 16% and 37% reduction in breast cancer risk. Women with higher selenium levels may have a decreased risk of breast cancer and both supplemental and dietary consumption of vitamin A has been associated with lower risks of breast cancer. Coenzyme Q-10 is one of the few nutritional supplements that has been studied in the treatment of breast cancer. Two Swedish studies have yielded results with Coenzyme Q-10. One demonstrating clinical improvement in women with late stage breast cancer and the other study observed disappearance of metastatic breast cancer tumors. Cabbage family foods containing indole 3 carbinol, tomatoes with their high lycopene content, fiber and exposure to sunshine causing higher vitamin D levels are additional issues in either the deactivation of estrogen, antioxidant mechanisms, or decreasing circulating estrogen levels.
We have recently reformulated Breastblend to include calcium D-glucarate. Glucuronidation is one of the most important pathways for the detoxification and excretion of environmental estrogens (xenobiotics), fat soluble toxins, and steroid hormones. Calcium D-glucarate in essence, increases glucuronidation. Animal studies have also demonstrated that when fed a diet fortified with calcium glucarate, serum estradial levels were decreased, and a 50%-70% reduction in breast tumor formation was observed.
Key Clinical Concepts: Women at higher risk for breast cancer, breast cancer survivors.
Contraindications and Cautions: None
