pharmacy

Cancer is a complicated condition brought on by the cumulative effect of numerous genetic mutations. Fruit consumption has been linked to a lower risk of developing a number of cancers, which is primarily due to the phytochemicals they contain. The use of chemo preventive substances and functional foods appears to aid in this process, acting by hormonal, anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and antioxidant mechanisms. The Psidium guajava has pigments with a high potential for function that play a role in the fight against cancer antioxidant performance. Exposing some chemical compounds from Psidium guajava is the goal of the current review. fractions and their relationship to an anti-carcinogenic effect. The evidence backs up the anticancer theory. Cancer is the top cause of death globally. The most prevalent cancer types reported are cancers of the thyroid, bladder, liver, breast, prostate, leukemia, and blood. Extracts of guajava, which contain a wide variety of polyphenols, exhibit pharmacological traits such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions. The study's sole objective would be to determine the benefits of adopting natural cancer treatments.
