Salvestrol
Dietary supplement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A salvestrol is a dietary phytochemical.[1] The name "salvestrols" was coined by medicinal chemist Gerard A. Potter.[2] "Salvestrol" has been trademarked and is used to market dietary supplements and other products.[3][4] Some salvestrol-based products contain extracts from blackcurrant, blueberry, strawberry, and tangerine peel.[5]
Salvesterols have been marketed as dietary supplements promoted for their supposed anti-cancer abilities.
