[사진=게티이미지뱅크]Fermented wheat germ extract (FWGE) refers to a product obtained by fermenting wheat germ (germ) using yeast, then filtering the liquid through filter paper and freeze-drying it into a powder.
It is known to be used as a raw material for functional foods or health cosmetics due to its high content of healthy fats. However, it is gaining attention due to research findings demonstrating its anticancer effects in oral cancer, colon cancer, etc.
Professor György Servo’s research group at Semmelweis Medical School in Hungary studied the effect of FWGE on disease in 43 oral cancer patients. The research team divided the patients into two groups and had only one group consume FWGE for about a year.
As a result, oral cancer progression was reduced by approximately 85% in the group that consumed FWGE. Furthermore, while 57% of the control group that did not consume FWGE relapsed, the relapse rate in the group that consumed FWGE was 4.5%, or about 12 times lower. Professor György said: “By taking FWGE, we were able to reduce side effects such as vomiting, lethargy, weight loss and decreased immunity.”
Subsequently, another study showed that the risk of cancer progression was reduced by approximately 52% in a group of melanoma (skin cancer) patients who consumed FWGE compared to the control group. What is noteworthy is the effect of adjuvant treatment for colon cancer. There is also a study (Surgical Department of Uzsoki Hospital, Hungary) which found that in the group that received adjuvant FWGE treatment, the cancer recurrence rate was reduced by 82%, the metastasis rate was reduced by 67% and the death rate was reduced by 82%. reduced by 62%.
FWGE used as an adjuvant cancer treatment… Causing tumor cells to kill themselves
FWGE is widely used as an adjuvant treatment for various carcinomas. FWGE activates natural killer cells (NK cells) and caspase-3 enzymes, which cause spontaneous cell death. As a result, it protects normal cells and stops the growth and repair of cancer cells by cutting PARP, a DNA repair enzyme of cancer cells, causing them to die spontaneously.
Because of this effect, in the case of breast cancer, when additional treatment such as taking FWGE was used together with treatment alone, nausea and insomnia were partially improved, hair loss, use of antiemetics and tranquilizers were reduced and the quality of treatment. life has improved.
When should I be careful about intake?
Although it does not have a significant impact on the human body, depending on the physical condition or underlying disease, side effects such as diarrhea, stomach upset and nausea may occur, so in some cases caution is required when consuming it.
△Pregnant or breastfeeding women, △Patients undergoing organ or tissue transplants, △Patients with gastrointestinal ulcers, enteritis or colitis, △Patients with irritable bowel disease and △Patients with fructose intolerance should avoid consumption. Additionally, for patients taking vitamin C, it is recommended to take FWGE 2 hours before or after taking vitamin C products. For adults weighing less than 70 kg, it is recommended to take 5.75 g 1-2 times a day (1 hour before meals).
