The following information on this herb is from The Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, 615 N. Wolfe Street, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA. KT Botanicals takes no credit for this information, nor does itmake any claims regarding this product! Scutellaria barbata (S. barbata), a traditional Chinese herbal medicine native to southern China, is widely used as an anti-inflammatory and a diuretic in China. Several studies have indicated that extracts of S. barbata have growth inhibitory effects on a number of human cancers. Treatment of lung cancer, digestive system cancers, hepatoma, breast cancer, and chorioepithelioma by S. barbata extracts was reported. However, the mechanism underlying the antitumor activity was unclear. In this study, we studied the growth inhibitory effect of S. barbata and determined its mechanism of antitumor activity using human lung cancer cell line A549. Our results showed that ethanol extracts of S. barbata greatly inhibited A549 cell growth, with IC50 of 0.21 mg/ml. The major mechanisms of inhibition included cell apoptosis and cytotoxic effects. cDNA microarray analysis showed that 16 genes, involved in DNA damage, cell cycle control, nucleic acid binding and protein phosphorylation, underwent more than 5-fold change. These data indicated that these processes are involved in S. barbata-mediated killing of cancer cells. A surprising finding is that CD209, related to dendritic cell (DC) function, was dramatically downregulated by 102-fold. Further functional studies are needed to assess the role of the array-identified genes in S. barbata mediated anticancer activity. Copyright 2004 Elsevier Inc.

Garden Greens AmlaSplash is a delicious juice concentrate containing organic Amla fruit. The Amla is a fleshy, gelatinous fruit about the size of a plum that grows on trees in southern India and surrounding areas. Also called Amalaki and Indian Gooseberry, cultures all over India consider the Amla to be one of their most precious botanicals for promoting health and vitality. Medical research supports the belief that the Amla contains powerful healing properties. One study conducted by The Niwa Institute of Immunology in Japan suggests that the high levels of superoxidase dimutase (SOD) in the Amla may help provide the antioxidant protection cells need to stay healthy. In addition to providing a host of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, the Amla fruit contains the second highest vitamin C quotient found anywhere in the plant kingdom. These high levels of vitamin C are protected by the plant’s natural polyphenols. Polyphenols act as antioxidants which may be powerful enough to help protect against cellular damage. Just one serving of AmlaSplash provides you with 1,200 ORAC. In simple terms, ORAC measures how well a food or drink renders dangerous free radicals inactive. One serving of AmlaSplash gives you the ORAC value of two servings of fruit. AmlaSplash is a delicious way for you to get all the benefits of the highly revered Amla fruit.
