Description
NSP’s Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Jerry McLaughlin is the world’s leading authority on paw paw after spending many years at Purdue University doing research on the plant. Nature’s Sunshine has an exclusive right to distribute this patented product. Dr. McLaughlin discovered that paw paw contains a group of plant chemicals called annonaceous acetogenins. There are over 50 of these long chain fatty acids in paw paw. Research has established that these acetogenins:
- Slow and stop the production of cell energy in cells by blocking the production of ATP.,
- Prevent the growth of new blood vessels in or near tumors.
- Deplete DNA and RNA building blocks needed for abnormal cell division.
- Kill even those cells that are resistant to chemotherapy drugs.
- Prevent cells from activating ATP-fueled metabolic pumps that may reject chemotherapy drugs.
- Is up to 300 times more potent than Taxol, without inducing weight loss.
- Cytotoxic effects of the Annonaceous acetogenin, bullatacin, were studied in multidrug-resistant (MDR) human mammary adenocarcinoma (MCF-7/Adr). Paw paw was found to be cytotoxic to the MCF-7/Adr cells while it was more cytostatic to the MCF-7/wt cells.
A comprehensive review article was published in the January 1999 issue of the Journal of Natural Products, and McLaughlin’s group has over 100 papers already published on the paw paw compounds. For more information on Paw Paw visit: http://www.pawpawresearch.com
