Although the life-enhancing effects of Sinclair's polyphenols are so far confined to the baker's yeast
Recently, both green tea and cat's claw have been reported to reduce the expression of inflammatory genes; responses that are linked to apoptosis and proliferation [ 23 24 25 26 27 ] . Indeed, cat's claw has been described as a potent inhibitor of the transcription factor NF-κB activation, preventing the expression of TNFα and inducible nitric oxide synthase [ 23 24 ] . These immune/inflammatory products are associated with gastritis and epithelial cell death [ 5 6 7 13 ] and hence cat's claw may have utility in limiting gut inflammation [ 23 ] . Indeed, this matches its ethnomedical use in South America where it is used to treat gastritis and other forms of chronic inflammation like arthritis [ 28 ] . Green tea, and its constituent polyphenols, has been associated with reduced expression of inflammatory genes and signal transduction processes leading to cell death [ 21 25 26 27 ] .

Both d-limonene, representative of citrus peel, and tea polyphenols, representative of black tea, are known to impact antiproliferative effects, including apoptosis, on neoplastic cells [ 4 34 35 36 37 ] . Dietary d-limonene has been shown to be effective in the chemoprevention and chemotherapy of cancer.
