Glauconites, a group of clay minerals, have garnered attention for their potential anti-cancer effects. These properties are attributed to their antioxidant, apoptotic, and anti-angiogenic activities. Glauconites contain antioxidants like flavonoids and tannins, which neutralize free radicals. The composition of glauconites is characterized by a rich blend of minerals, including iron oxide, aluminium oxide, and potassium oxide. These elements, arranged in a layered structure, provide a multifaceted defense against radiation. Glauconite extracts induce apoptosis, a programmed cell death mechanism, in cancer cells, halting their growth and spread. As research on glauconite continues to progress, it is evident that this naturally occurring mineral holds immense promise as a radiation shield. With further development and refinement, glauconite could potentially play a crucial role in protecting individuals and environments from the harmful effects of radiation, safeguarding human health and well-being. Moreover, glauconite inhibits angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, depriving cancer cells of their nutrient supply, hindering their proliferation. Animal studies have provided promising evidence supporting the anti-cancer effects of glauconite. Studies in animal models have shown that treatment with glauconite extracts leads to a significant reduction in both tumor size and cancer cell proliferation. Further research is imperative to comprehensively elucidate the mechanisms and therapeutic potential of glauconite in cancer treatment. The potential applications of glauconite as a radiation shield are vast. Glauconites could be incorporated into protective clothing and materials used in workplaces with radiation exposure, such as nuclear power plants and medical facilities. Additionally, glauconites could be used to purify water, and soil from radioactive contaminants, protecting public health and the environment. research is warranted to fully elucidate the mechanisms and therapeutic potential of glauconite in cancer treatment. Glauconite holds promise as a novel and effective approach to cancer therapy, warranting further investigation for clinical applications.
