THE UNTAPPED POTENTIAL OF CABBAGE EXTRACT AS ANTIOXIDANT, ANTICANCER AND PREVENTATIVE AGENT

Abstract

ABSTRACT

The possible anticancer effects of cabbage, a member of the Brassica family, have been investigated. Numerous investigations into its impact on various cancer types have shown encouraging findings, indicating that cabbage extracts may prove to be a useful tool in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Despite extensive research demonstrating the effectiveness of cabbage extract in treating various forms of cancer, this promising therapy not exploited to gain widespread adoption in the medical community. This oversight has several causes, including commercial interests, regulatory hurdles, and general inclination for traditional cancer treatments. This review will go over the significance of cabbage extract, the concentrations that have been used in earlier studies to combat different types of cancer, and the main arguments against its use as an antioxidant, anti-cancer, or cancer prevention agent, despite the fact that, it is a natural extract and that many studies have demonstrated its efficacy in all of the aforementioned fields.
