Abstract:
Once prostate cancer has metastasized, current treatment methods are generally ineffective. Due to the reported anti-tumor properties of specific nutrients, we investigated the effect of a unique formulation (NS) of lysine, proline, arginine, ascorbic acid, and epigallocatechin gallate on human prostate cancer cell lines: PC-3, DU145 (androgen insensitive) and LNCaP (androgen sensitive), by measuring cell proliferation, MMP expression, and invasion potential.
