The combination of ursolic acid and resveratrol (from grape skin) also shrank the prostate tumors in mice. Many different tumor types rely on glutamine as a carbon source for energy and as a nitrogen source for building more DNA and proteins (macromolecular synthesis). Additionally, these compounds also activated pathways involved in cell death.
Certain forms of cancers have been shown to rely heavily upon glutamine as a source of fuel,drawing in glucose and amino acids (like glutamine) from the environment as building blocks for tumors.
I use 10-15 grams of Glutamine daily. Is there an increase risk of cancer with this??
