The study of phytonutrients, while still in its infancy, has yielded astounding results:

• According to the World Health Organization, 25% of modern medicines are made from plants first used traditionally.
• The number one drug for cancer worldwide Taxol (Paclitaxel), is a phytonutrient initially extracted and purified from the Pacific Yew Tree.
• Diindolylmethane, a phytonutrient from Brassica vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts) is currently used as a treatment for Recurring Respiratory Papillomatosis tumors and is also in clinical trials for a variety of cancers (breast, prostate, lung, colon, cervical).
• Selenium, an elemental phytonutrient abundant in Brassica vegetables, is currently being recommended worldwide by physicians as an adjuvant for AIDS treatments.  It has also been shown to reduce mortality among prostate cancer patients.  Selenium is a pre-cursor of Glutathione, a potent and important antioxidant manufactured primarily in the liver.
• Lycopene, a phytonutrient in tomatoes, is in clinical trials for cardiovascular diseases and prostate cancer.  Human clinical trials have demonstrated that Lycopene helps to improve blood flow through the heart and clinical studies suggest anti-cancer activity against prostate cancer.
• Lutein and zeaxanthin, phytonutrients in spinach, have been shown through clinical trials to directly improve human visual performance and help prevent the onset of macular degeneration and cataracts.

The nature of phytonutrients suggests that Ayurvedic Medicine is the right way to go for natural healing.  The benefits of whole medicinal plants cannot be replicated because their synergistic combination of hundreds of naturally occurring phytonutrients cannot be reproduced in pharmaceutical laboratories.  Since India Herbs uses only concentrated extracts of botanicals considered safe by the U.S. FDA, formulation potency is maximized to achieve optimal benefit with no side effects.
