Benefits
Ultra Cell Biotect™ contains unique phytochemicals from extracts of organic green tea, pepper, organic turmeric, black turmeric, and organic grape seed to complement your healthful diet and protect cellular health.
Normal cellular metabolism produces byproducts that can age or damage our cells, such as free radicals. Dietary antioxidant phytochemicals complement our natural antioxidant defenses by neutralizing free radicals and affecting cell signaling pathways that promote cardiovascular health, the inflammatory response, proper cell growth, and cellular stability.
Bottle contains 120 capsules (60-day supply)
Caution: If you are pregnant, nursing, or on medication, consult with your healthcare practitioner.
Science moves much faster than most companies can keep pace with, but Dr. Fuhrman strives to keep his products as current as possible.

Key Ingredients
Green Tea
Green tea leaves, from the Camellia sinensis plant, are rich in catechins, particularly epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG), which are rare flavonoid antioxidants. Regular consumption of brewed green tea is associated with cardiovascular health and longevity. In vitro studies suggest green tea catechins protect healthy cells against oxidative damage and promote normal DNA repair and inflammatory status. Greenselect® Phytosome® is a caffeine-free green tea extract that uses lecithin to enhance absorption, significantly increasing EGCG concentration in plasma. Studies show it helps maintain healthy fasting glucose, triglycerides, and blood pressure. Note: Dr. Fuhrman recommends no more than 300 mg/day of EGCG from green tea supplements. Two capsules of Ultra Cell Biotect contain 39 mg EGCG.
Capsicum annuum
Capsicum annuum, a species encompassing various peppers, contains vanilloids that have shown synergistic effects with green tea in vitro, enhancing its protective effects on cells. These phytochemicals contribute to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of Ultra Cell Biotect™, supporting overall cellular health.
Curcumin & Organic Turmeric Root
Curcumin, the primary bioactive component of turmeric root (Curcuma longa), includes curcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, and demethoxycurcumin. Curcumin has been shown in vitro to inhibit NF-κB, a regulator of the inflammatory response. Because its benefits are limited by poor bioavailability, we've added piperine (Bioperine®) to enhance absorption. Whole turmeric is also included for additional phytochemicals. Research suggests curcumin with piperine provides antioxidant effects, supports cardiovascular and joint health, and promotes a healthy inflammatory response.
Black Turmeric
Sirtmax®, an extract of Kaempferia parviflora (black turmeric), activates the SIRT1 pathway and protects against oxidative damage in vitro. It supports healthy aging and helps maintain healthy blood glucose levels. A seven-week placebo-controlled human study suggested that Sirtmax® also helps limit visceral fat accumulation.
Organic Grape Seed Extract
Grape seeds, rich in polyphenols, especially proanthocyanidins, have high antioxidant capacity. Enovita® grape seed extract has been shown in a four-month human trial to have antioxidant effects and promote cardiovascular health. Grape polyphenols are concentrated in the seeds, skins, stems, and leaves, providing comprehensive protection against oxidative stress.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ultra Cell Biotect™ gluten-free? Allergen-free?
Ultra Cell Biotect™ does not contain wheat, gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, or sesame. Ultra Cell Biotect™ is not manufactured in an allergen-free or gluten-free facility. Our manufacturing facility has an allergen control program in place designed to properly handle, store and use materials in production to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination, in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).
How does Ultra Cell Biotect™ support overall health?
Ultra Cell Biotect™ contains a blend of powerful ingredients like Green Tea (Greenselect® Phytosome®), Capsicum annuum, Curcumin (Curcumin C3 Complex®), Black Turmeric (Sirtmax®), and Organic Grape Seed Extract (Enovita®). These ingredients provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial benefits, supporting cardiovascular health, joint health, metabolic health, immune function, and overall cellular health.
Why should we limit EGCG from green tea supplements to 300 mg/day?
Liver-related side effects, though rare, have been reported in some randomized controlled trials on green tea extract. These adverse effects were only reported in studies that used doses of green tea extract including more than 676 mg/day of EGCG. Research is ongoing to determine whether people with specific genetic variants are more likely to experience liver problems at high doses of EGCG. To ensure safety for everyone, regardless of genetics, Dr. Fuhrman recommends keeping daily EGCG from green tea supplements below 300 mg.
How does Ultra Cell Biotect™ fit into Dr. Fuhrman's Combat Cancer Protocol?
Ultra Cell Biotect™ is designed to complement Dr. Fuhrman's Combat Cancer Protocol by providing powerful antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and other essential nutrients that support the body's natural defenses. The carefully selected ingredients in Ultra Cell BiotectTM, such as green tea (Greenselect® Phytosome®), curcumin (Curcumin C3 Complex®), black turmeric (Sirtmax®), and organic grape seed extract (Enovita®), work synergistically to protect healthy cells, promote normal DNA repair, and support overall immune function.
Where can I find Dr. Fuhrman's full Combat Cancer Protocol?
Dr. Fuhrman's full combat cancer protocol is detailed in the Combat Cancer Course available under the Events page. This course provides in-depth information, practical advice, and personalized recommendations to help you effectively implement the protocol and maximize your health outcomes.
