1.Ursolic acid

Found in herbs like holy basil (also called tulsi) and oregano, as well as in the skin of apples, ursolic acid is a phytonutrient that has been shown to disrupt the process of metastasis in cancer of the pancreas, cervix, lung, colon, skin and breast.

Ursolic acid turns apoptosis back on and blocks the duplication and spread of damaged DNA in tumors.
