Phycocyanin is an antioxidant that has been shown to induce cell apoptosis in vitro in a number of cancer cell lines. An immunity booster, it is suitable to be used as an adjunct to cancer therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation, which helps fight cancer. VITALINA may also be used to ease the negative impact of therapy during treatment as well as help the body revive and rejuvenate post-treatment. Phycocyanin (PC) is one of the main pigments of the algae Spirulina and is a rich source of antioxidants. PC is a protein from the phycobiliprotein family characterized by its intense blue color and its structure consists of protein and nonprotein components known as phycocyanobilin. PC acts as an antioxidant that scavenges free radicals that could damage cells and bring about mutations to cause cancer. PC food grade is generally recognized as safe (GRAS).<\/p>\n<p>PC has been shown in in-vitro and in-vivo studies to have anti-tumoral properties. Many in vitro studies on Leukemia, Prostate, Liver, Colon, Breast, and Cervical cancer cell lines have shown PC to induce cell apoptosis, prevent multi-drug resistance, and act as a photosensitizer during radiation treatment. Researches have proven that PC can help in boosting the body\u2019s innate immunity. It has been reported that diverse drugs and radiation may combine with phycocyanin to kill human cancer cells.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>PC has been shown to promote phytohemagglutinin stimulated lymphocyte transformation, in recovering the E-rosette forming ability of T cell (after damaging by cyclophosphamide), and significantly improve the number of antibody-forming cells. In vivo and in vitro apoptosis mechanism of MCF-7 cells showed that C-PC can enhance the proliferation of immune organs and immune cells.<\/p>\n<p>Fiber is one of the essential components of a balanced diet. Cancer patients undergoing chemo and radiation therapies suffer from constipation as treatment side effects, changes in diet, not drinking enough fluids, and being less active.<\/p>\n<p>The fiber incorporated in VITALINA is corn dextrin, a purified glucose polymer processed by heating wheat starch at high temperature, adjusted to a low moisture level in the presence of an acid catalyst. Clinical trials have confirmed that it undergoes partial digestion and fermentation, acting as a substrate to gut microbiota thus increasing the biomass. The fiber-rich Corn Dextrin, if combined with a probiotic may help cancer patients restore their gut and immunity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Composition&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1593168883524-40005278-2a39&#8243;][vc_column_text]Each 5 g VITALINA sachet contains<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Spirulina extract (Phycoyanin)<\/li>\n<li>Corn dextrin (soluble fiber)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Mechanism of Action&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1584624217032-a15849ed-97bb&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>Phycocyanin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Phycocyanin has antioxidant, anti-tumoral, chemo-preventive, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. It Induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in many types of common cancers. Phycocyanin has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer metastasis (spread). It helps prevent multidrug resistance. Phycocyanin acts as a photosensitizer and Immune system modulator that helps boost the body\u2019s innate (self) immunity by increasing the number of T-cells and antibody-forming cells. Phycocyanin has also been shown to have hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, and Neuroprotective properties in in-vitro and in-vivo clinical studies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Corn dextrin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The diet consumed by cancer patients is usually soft and does not contain a good amount of fiber which affects the retention and efficacy of the given probiotic.
