The present invention describes a protocol for achieving a very high degree of anticarcinogenic (or chemopreventive or cancer preventative) activity through the combination of a low suboptimal dose of a D-glucarolactone-based dietary anticarcinogen (i.e., calcium glucarate or CGT) with a low suboptimal dose of retinoid-based anticarcinogen (4-hydroxyphenyl retinamide or HPR). Since synergism is obtained by this combination, these two anticarcinogens can be employed at dosages far below toxic levels and at dosages that are practical as a food supplement.

Method and composition for achieving anticarcinogenic activity

The present invention describes a dietary supplement for achieving a very high degree of chemotherapeutic activity through the synergistic combination of a low suboptimal dose of a D-glucarolactone-based dietary anticarcinogen (calcium glucarate) with a low suboptimal dose of retinoid-based anticarcinogen (4-hydroxyphenyl retinamide).

Method and composition for achieving cancer chemopreventive and

A method for the reduction in vivo of the inappropriate levels of endogenous and environmental-derived compounds by inhibiting the activity of .beta.-glucuronidase in a mammal which comprises the administration to the mammal of an effective amount of a water insoluble, or sparingly soluble, sustained release precursor of glucarolactone or its analog is disclosed. The sustained release precursor of glucarolactone compound is selected from the group consisting of D-glucaric acid, D-galactaric acid, and L-idaric acid or derivatives or analogs. An orally administrable preparation of the sustained release precursor of glucarolactone compound is provided in the form of a capsule tablet, such that the glucarolactone or its analog is slowly released in the stomach of the treated animal or human.
