Prostate cancer treatment targets existing tumor cells but does little to address the source of new prostate cancer cells which come from a smaller group of prostate cancer stem cells.  A variety of cell experiments show for the first time that gamma tocotrienol Specialized form of vitamin E. Powerful antioxidant showing positive benefits for cholesterol, cardiovascular, neurological health and cancer risk reduction.1 can turn off the activity of these prostate cancer stem cells in existing cancer and stop them from having activity in the first place.

A considerable amount of cancer research is underway regarding the power of gamma tocotrienol Specialized form of vitamin E. Powerful antioxidant showing positive benefits for cholesterol, cardiovascular, neurological health and cancer risk reduction..  As a general health nutrient it is one of the top choices for prevention of cancer.  It is often able to reduce the spread of existing cancer and it typically demonstrates a synergistic benefit with chemo drugs, helping to overcome resistant cancer. 

This new study with prostate cancer once again demonstrates all of these helpful characteristics in addition to the novel finding of the ability to address prostate cancer stem cells.
