Berberine, Curcumin & Milk Thistle BLOCK Glutamine Uptake

The video explains how three natural compounds—berberine, curcumin (from turmeric), and milk thistle—might help slow down cancer growth by blocking cancer cells from using glutamine (an important nutrient they rely on to survive).

Why is this important?

• Cancer cells need a lot of glutamine to grow and multiply.

• If we can cut off their supply, we might be able to weaken or stop their growth.

How these natural compounds help:

1. Berberine (found in plants like goldenseal and barberry)

   • Research suggests it can block cancer cells from absorbing glutamine, which may make it harder for them to survive.

2. Curcumin (from turmeric)

   • It may turn off certain "doors" on cancer cells that let glutamine in, making them starve.

3. Milk Thistle (Silymarin)

   • Scientists believe it can slow down the way cancer cells use glutamine, making it less effective for their growth.

   
   

Bottom Line:

These natural substances aren’t a cure for cancer, but they might be useful alongside other treatments by disrupting cancer’s food supply. More research is needed, but the idea is promising!
