Researchers in China found that chrysanthemin, an anthocyanin found in the fruit of camu camu has anti-tumor effects. In their study, which was published in the African Journal of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicines, researchers looked at the antitumor and apoptotic effects of chrysanthemin in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells.
With these findings, it can be concluded that chrysanthemin has the potential to be used as a protective treatment against prostate cancer.
