Overview

Systematic review reveals withania somnifera's anticancer effects in studies, indicating its potential for cancer prevention.

Key Points

  • Withania somnifera shows potential in preventing cancer by enhancing immune function and reducing tumor growth.
  • Research indicates ashwagandha's compounds like withaferin A promote apoptosis in cancer cells while sparing normal cells.
  • A systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines, analyzing studies from 2001 to 2023 on ashwagandha's effects on cancer.
  • Findings suggest that while promising, larger human trials are necessary to confirm ashwagandha's safety and efficacy in cancer prevention.
