Background: Turmeric and boswellia supplements have gained popularity for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is important to critically assess the safety of such supplements for prolonged use.
Objectives: To assess the safety and tolerability of turmeric-boswellia-sesame oil formulation (TBSF) in healthy human volunteers.
Prostate cancer (PCa), a highly prevalent cancer in men worldwide, is projected to rise in the coming years. As emerging data indicate the carcinogenic effects of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in lung cancer and other site-specific cancers, there is an urgent need to evaluate the relationship between this environmental risk factor and PCa as a potential target for intervention.
