How It Works
The Female Breast
The female breast is a complex structure of variable size, consistency, and composition. Although anatomically distinct, the breasts are functionally related to the female genitourinary system in that they respond to cyclic changes in sex hormones and produce milk for infant nourishment. Breast tissue changes throughout the life cycle: in puberty as the female breasts develop and sexual maturation begins, during pregnancy in preparation for lactation, after childbirth in milk production, and during menopause and later life with replacement of glandular (functional) tissue with adipose (fat) tissue.
Structurally, the breast consists of fibrous connective tissue, fat, and glandular tissue. The superficial (upper layer) connective tissue of the breast is attached to the skin. Muscles and fibrous connective tissue support the breast mass itself. Cooper's ligaments provide additional support to the breast and divide the breast into 15 to 25 lobes, similar to spokes on a wheel. Each lobe consists of mammary glands or alveoli, grape-like structures that are lined with secretory cells capable of producing milk. The glands are interconnected by a series of ducts, which transport milk from the glands to the nipple. The nipple is located centrally on the breast and is surrounded by the pigmented areola.
Effect of Hormones on the Breast
The estrogens initiate growth of the breasts and of the milk-producing apparatus. They are also responsible for the characteristic growth of the breasts and external appearance of the mature female breast.
Progesterone promotes development of the lobules and glands of the breasts, causing the glandular cells to proliferate, enlarge, and become secretory in nature. However, milk is only secreted after the hormonally prepared breast is further stimulated by the pituitary hormone prolactin.
Progesterone causes the breasts to swell. Part of this swelling is due to the secretory development in the lobules and alveoli, but part also results from increased fluid in the subcutaneous (below the skin) tissue.
The hormonal influence on breast cancer is well demonstrated in that gender is the most significant risk factor for the development of the disease. Women develop breast cancer 100 times more frequently than men. While hormones themselves are not carcinogenic, prolonged exposure to estrogen and progesterone are associated with increased cancer incidence. Early onset of menses, late menopause, late first pregnancy, and/or no history of pregnancy are linked to exposure to hormones that may have a significant role in the development of breast cancer.
Changes in the Breast during the Menstrual Cycle
Fluid is produced and reabsorbed during the female menstrual cycle. The breasts respond to cyclic changes in the menstrual cycle with fullness and discomfort.
Changes in the Breast with Pregnancy
Significant changes occur in the breast during pregnancy. In response to hormones, the ducts and alveoli increase in number and size. This causes the breast to enlarge two to three times their pre-pregnancy size. Breast milk is produced in response to complex hormonal changes associated with pregnancy.
Changes in the Breast with Menopause
With the onset of menopause, estrogen and progesterone levels gradually decline. There is a gradual decrease in glandular tissues. Decomposition of the lobes and alveoli begins. After menopause, glandular tissue continues to decompose and is replaced by fat. The breasts tend to hang more loosely from the chest wall because of these tissue changes and the relaxation of Cooper's ligaments.
Fibrocystic Changes
Fibrocystic changes are a result of the formation of benign (noncancerous) cysts along the ducts. These cysts are filled with fluid and are usually noted in both breasts. The cysts are tender and painful, especially premenstrually. In the past, fibrocystic changes were referred to as "fibrocystic disease". Because this condition affects at least half of all women at some point in their lives, it is more accurately defined as a "change" rather than a "disease". Fibrocystic changes are most common in women between 35 and 50, but can affect women of any age.
Fibroadenoma
Fibroadenomas are benign (noncancerous) tumors made up of both glandular breast tissue and fibroconnective (supporting) tissue. They most often occur bilaterally (in both breasts). They are most common in young women in their twenties and thirties, although they may occur at any age. Fibroadenomas generally do not cause pain or tenderness and do not respond to hormonal influence of the menstrual cycle. Some fibroadenomas are quite small, while some may be several inches in size. They tend to be round and have borders that are distinct from the surrounding breast tissue. They are well delineated and mobile when palpated, so they often feel like a marble within the breast.
Breast Cancer
Cancer of the breast is the most common cancer in females. One in eight women will have breast cancer in her lifetime. It is predicted that approximately 182,800 American women will be affected and nearly 40,800 deaths from the disease will occur in the year 2000.
Peak incidence of malignancy is between age 40 and 60, with two-thirds of malignant breast tumors occurring in women under 65. About 80% of women with breast cancer have a painless lump in the breast as the initial symptom. Malignant tumors of the breast generally occur in one breast, are most often a single mass, are irregular in shape, and are hard and stone-like. The tumor doesn't move upon touching or pressing with the hand, and is generally not tender, with poorly delineated and irregular borders. Malignant tumors do not vary with the menstrual cycle. Breast cancer can occur within the ducts, in the lobes, or in the basic tissue of the breast itself. Breast cancer occurs more frequently in the left breast than in the right and more often in the upper outer quadrant.
Metabolism of active foreign substances or detoxification is a process that requires enzymes. The enzymes involved in detoxification are generally divided into two groups, known as Phase I and Phase II enzymes. Phase I enzymes, such as cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase, convert hydrophobic (fat-soluble) compounds to electrophilic (active) derivatives. Phase II enzymes, which include glutathione transferase, glucuronosyltransferase, and sulfotransferase catalyze conjugation reactions. Most reactions catalyzed by Phase II enzymes generally produce high polar molecules that are readily excreted from the body. While the Phase I reactions tend to be an activating process, the Phase II reaction is more likely to be a detoxification process.
Glucuronidation is a major pathway of the Phase II detoxification process. It is catalyzed by glucuronosyltransferase and requires the cofactor UDP-glucuronic acid. When glucuronidated, these compounds become polar, water-soluble conjugates that are eliminated from body in urine and bile. However, active compounds conjugated with glucuronic acid are substrates of β-glucuronidase. β-glucuronidase can reconvert substances back to their Phase I, potentially harmful form, which reabsorbs into the body and delays the elimination of these compounds.
Calcium D-glucarate
Calcium D-glucarate (CGT) is a precursor of glucarolactone (GL), which inhibits β-glucuronidase. By inhibition of β-glucuronidase, GL increases the amount of these compounds sequestered and excreted as the glucuronides, thus decreasing the portion of active compounds that could be hazardous to the body. In animal studies, administration of CGT was reported to inhibit β-glucuronidase activity. CGT was also found to support healthy cell development.
Increased clearance of endogenous estradiol and precursors of 17-ketosteroids, followed by a reduction in steady-state levels of these hormones, are theorized as further explanations for this supplement's support of healthy breast cells.
Folic Acid
Folic acid functions as a carrier of hydroxymethyl and foryl groups. Folic acid is necessary for the synthesis of purine and thymine, required for the formation of DNA, thus making it essential for cell growth and reproduction. Folic acid is required for red blood cell maturation.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 performs several metabolic functions. Acting as a coenzyme, vitamin B12 is necessary for red blood cell formation and maturation, amino acid and fatty acid metabolism.
A recent study has suggested that vitamin B12 deficiency may lead to reduced DNA synthesis and impaired DNA repair mechanisms in breast tissue in the lab setting. Both of these mechanisms are required for healthy cells.
Protein-bound Iodine
Protein-bound iodine is involved in making thyroid hormones, which helps regulate reproduction, maintenance of healthy metabolic rates, and cell growth.
Clinical studies have demonstrated that iodine is essential for breast health. The effects of iodine on breast tissue are thought to render intralobular duct cells less sensitive to circulating estrogens.
Broccoli
Broccoli is a vegetable from the genus Brassica. It contains a large number of phytochemicals, some of which have been shown to be beneficial. In the early 1900's, broccoli was found to increase the activity of Phase II enzymes. Later, sulforaphane was identified as the principal Phase II enzyme in broccoli extract. In animal studies, sulforaphane was reported to enhance chemical detoxification and support healthy cell development.
Green Tea
Green tea is a dried product of the fresh shoot of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) from which numerous biological activities have been reported. A 1998 study indicated that green tea supports breast health in a variety of ways.
Green tea is a rich source of flavonoids and polyphenols, namely, catechins and flavonols. The catechins, also known as tea polyphenols, which occur in significant quantities in green tea, are catechin, epicatechin, gallocatechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate, and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). A study has indicated that EGCG supports healthy breast cell development.
Maitake D-Fraction Compound
Maitake mushroom (Grifola frondosa) is an edible mushroom consumed in China and Japan both for its taste and health benefits. Recently, its powder and water extracts have been investigated for effects on the immune system and support of healthy cell development. Maitake D-fraction is a mixture of β-D-glucan fraction obtained from Maitake water extracts. It mainly contains β-1,6' D-glucan with β-1,3' branches. In an animal model, D-fraction was shown to activate macrophages, natural killer cells and cytotoxic T-cells with a concomitant increase in interleukin-1 production. In the spring of 1998, an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) was obtained from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the use of D-fraction in a phase II pilot study.
