Who would have guessed that second-hand cigarette smoke could have a surprising health benefit? Or that tobacco, long dismissed as unhealthy, might have some healing benefits, even playing a role in a new dietary supplement? Medicine and health technology are full of surprises sometimes.
In 2004, Dr. Paul Ladenson, Director of the Division of Endocrinology at Johns Hopkins, conducted a study among a group of flight attendants and found reduction of thyroiditis/Hashimoto’s Disease related to inhalation of second hand cigarette smoke. That discovery started the ball rolling toward the development of a anti-inflammatory supplement called Anatabloc, the key ingredient of which is the anatabine compound, one of the 4,000 chemical components of tobacco. Anatabine is a naturally-occuring alkaloid also found in eggplants, peppers, green tomatoes, potatoes, and a variety of other plants in the Solanaceae (nightshade) family, including Nicotiana, the Latin term for tobacco.
Armed with this information, entrepreneur Jonnie Williams was motivated to formulate Anatabloc, a dietary supplement that works by inhibiting pro-inflammatory pathways to help the body maintain lower levels of inflammation. Anatabloc combines one milligram of anatabine with 500 units of Vitamin A and 40 units of Vitamin D3; pre-clinical studies have shown that this combination may inhibit pro-inflammatory pathways to help maintain lower levels of inflammation and promote a healthy anti-inflammatory response.
The thinking behind the formulation of Anatabloc is that chronic low-level inflammation contributes to many disorders such as coronary artery disease, diabetes, asthma, autoimmune thyroid disease, and rheumatoid arthritis, so Anatabloc is marketed as a potential preventative treatment for these diseases. Anatabloc requires no prescription; the recommended dosage is two tablets or lozenges taken sublingually three times daily for best results. (The manufacturer also markets Anatabloc skin care products).
Studies have shown that autoimmune thyroid disease can appear — or even worsen — in the period after someone quits smoking (remember, though, the benefits of quitting smoking always outweigh any side effects of quitting, especially for patients with Graves’ disease and thyroid eye disease). Theoretically, it could be the absence of the anatabine in the cigarettes that may be the key factor in this mystery.
The Roskamp Institute conducted research using anatabine in the areas of Alzheimer’s disease, gastroenterology, rheumatology, cancer, and autoimmune diseases such as lupus and cardio-atherogenesis. Meanwhile, Johns Hopkins is already researching anatabine’s potential in the treatment of thyroid disease.
Specifically, the ASAP (Anatabloc Supplementation Autoimmune Prevention) Human Thyroid Study — conducted at nine centers around the country – is analyzing the impact of anatabine dietary supplementation on thyroid health. The study is a three-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the impact of anatabine in people with autoimmune thyroid disease of the thyroid. Initial results for all study subjects are suggesting that dietary supplementation with anatabine reduces the immune system’s targeting of the thyroid gland in autoimmune thyroiditis.
The study subjects all had active autoimmune thyroid inflammation, based on sonograms, antibody levels, and measurement of cytokine levels. The study subjects then received Anatabloc treatment for three months, and evaluation showed statistically significant differences in the treated group as compared to the placebo group, including declines in anti-thyroglobulin antibody levels.
Dr. Paul Ladenson, who is serving as senior endocrinological consultant for the study, stated, “Data from this rigorously conducted, placebo-controlled, double blind trial show that anatabine-treated subjects had progressive decreases in circulating thyroglobulin antibody levels, which became significant by the end of the trial. Current treatment for autoimmune thyroiditis is limited to end-stage disease when irreversible gland damage necessitates lifelong thyroid hormone replacement. The prospect of a novel nutritional or pharmaceutical intervention that could preserve thyroid health represents an encouraging advance. Further clinical studies are now warranted.”
Clearly, more research is needed into Anatabloc, inflammation, and autoimmunity — and specifically the impact on thyroid disease — but these early results are promising.
How does it work? According to the Anatabloc site, the anatabine in Anatabloc® enters a cell, deactivates a protein within the cell, prevents the protein from activating elements in the cell that are markers of inflammation, prevents the protein from entering the nucleus, and thereby maintains healthy levels of inflammation. According to the manufacturers, pre-clinical tests have also shown that the supplement helps maintain healthy levels of c-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation.

Star Scientific, Inc./Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals Report Positive Initial Results of ASAP Human Thyroid Health Study Showing Benefits in Immune System Support
Mary,
Why don’t you interview Dr Paul Ladenson on you tube. I believe anatabloc can help so many and this would help spread the word. So few know about the many benefits of an all natural anti-inflammatory with no side affects
Anatabloc was my last resort after my annual blood test in Sept. of 2011 combined with my symptom showed that I have SECONDARY hypothyroidism (hypo-pituitarism) and I had visions of my being on multiple hormones for the rest of my life. I started taking Anatabloc on October 7th, 2011 and I noticed a dramatic change in the way that I felt; I was no longer plagued with an overwhelming fatigue and I wasn’t cold all of the time. A subsequent blood test 4 months later showed that my TSH level had risen from 0.3 to 2.8, right in the middle of the normal range.
Hi Tom,am hyperthyroid with goiter and swollen eyelids,the goiter has decreased before i used to cover my neck but nowadays no one can notice it,my worry is my eye lids which have never changed,my TSH has always been low o.oo3 although T3 and T4 are in the normal range, can anatabloc help?thanks in advance
Of course one can’t say for sure if Anatabloc can help but it certainly did for me. Based upon my symptoms and the result of a TSH measurement in my annual blood test, it took about 15 minutes of searching on the web to find that these were the classic symptoms of secondary hypothyroidism.
So, it depends upon what your underlying problem is. Although I’m not a doctor, if I were you I would insure that I am getting enough iodine and I would try the Anatabloc. You have nothing to lose.
Nice article and yes, Anabloc is working for me to alleviate several Nf-KB related inflammatory conditions. I would just suggest it is not an upside for tobacco since 1) although anatabine citrate was originally isolated from the tobacco plant, it is also found in several other plants has now been synthesized by the company thereby eliminating the need for tobacco or any other plant for its production, and 2) although Star Scientific was originally classified as a tobacco company, the company has shut down its tobacco-related programs to eliminate its identification with tobacco and is now classified as a major pharmaceutical company. All the best.
The science behind this discovery is still a relative secret. However, it is gathering momentum as both anecdotal and scientific double-blind evidence continues to build.
If I were a doctor, I would be very concerned about NOT sharing this with any patient who is suffering from hypothyroidism. The legal risks of keeping this treatment from a patient, which has been shown to prevent suffering and reverse the disease, may be viewed as negligent in a court of law. As this information becomes more widely known to the general public through articles like this and through renowned work of Dr. Ladenson, it would also seem negligent for any doctor treating hypothyroidism to say they were unaware of this potential treatment.
Actually, my symptoms DID surface after quitting smoking – does this substance help with the weight gain side of Hashimoto’s? I am on Synthroid and have been fine with regard to inflammation, as most is due to additives in food.
My family has a history of hypothyroidism and diabetes. I started taking Anatabloc when a friend with diabetes recommended it.
I HAVE TREATED MANY PATIENTS WITH ANATABLOC FOR MANY AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.THESE INCLUDE ACHES AND PAINS TO CANCER.THIS
IS APRODUCT THAT CAN TREAT SO MANY DISEASES THAT IT DOESNT SEEM
TRUE, BUT IT IS. THE GREATEST CHALLENGE IS TO INFORM DOCTORS
Dr. Wilson,
I am a patient using anatabloc. Your former office manager in Flint has my info. I was (desperately) hoping to pick you brain, briefly. May I contact you?
Am a patient taking Carbimazole and Inderal can i take Anatabloc?i live in zambia.
dr dale wilson is right! I started taking anatabloc october 2011 because I just started going back to the gym! My joints felt fantastic just after a month. Then after 3-4 months on anatabloc I realized that my psoriasis never flared up during the winter and that the bottom of my feet didnt peel anymore! Then I put one and one together that it was anatabloc that i was benefiting from! It helps with so many diseases that it does sound to good to be true. But if you google any disease and put the word inflammation next to it…. there is a correlation with practically everything! Hope this helped
Mary, so good to see your article on Anatabloc…I’m on this supp about 2 months
now, taking less Advil daily, no Tylenol and sleeping 9+ hours waking in NO PAIN.
I started on it for OA and Fibro issues and a complication of mess from a hip replacement 2 yrs ago….Inflammation is the major issue.
I may never be feeling 40 again, but feeling much much better and in relatively little pain is HUGE. I also deal with Hashimotos and on Armour since 2002….I’ve already reduced my armour by 30mg. I’m 74 and so happy that Anatabloc came into my life….
Your living well with HypoT helped save me in 2001. Thanks so much. joy
I am 47 years old. I’ve been On Anatabloc for three months. My motivation in using this product was to cure my sensitive stomach (I think I have IBS). I started with 3 a day. I noticed the following improvements after two weeks;
-stronger stomach / pain and stiffness on both angles went away / younger looking skin
-pain on my right wrist went away (I had trouble using a screwdriver) / feeling better / improve libido (only mentioning this because this is a sign my body is getting young)
I have been on Armour 10+ years, so mild hypothyroidism. Started Anatabloc in December, and now feel 5-10 years younger. Much better moods, and 80% of joint stiffness is gone (I HAD a bad knee and ankle, and now can snap my fingers – haven’t been able to for 5 years or so)
My greatest fear is that the big pharma will buy out this small company so they can take ANATABLOC off the market as it is so effective in treating so many diseases and symtoms. While they could make a fortune off of it, I fear they may believe it will cost them too much in other perscription sales. For everyone’s sake, I hope I am wrong.
I began taking Anatabloc as a way to fight general inflammation, or inflamaging as it has come to be know in the medical community. My experience was amazing. I won’t go into the long list of improvements which mirror those already posted. One that hasn’t been mentioned is the improvement in allergies which I have suffered my whole life. They are gone. Not better- gone! This is my third season where I have been free of the cough and congestion which then always turned into a sinus infection due to the swelling. I’ve started and stopped taking ANATABLOC enough times that I am convinced it is not a placebo affect. I am also convinced as I see an hear more reports like this every day as well as the mounting scientific evidence.
My sincere best wishes to anyone suffering from hypothyroidism. This appears to be the best chance at a cure.
Im 60 years old and I have been taking Anatabloc for over 8 months, I treat them like tic tacs, great breath freshner by the way, anyhow I swear by them… The product reduced the pains in my joints my arms my legs especially after a long walk and a work out. As a matter of fact my pain is hardly noticiable anymore . I thought once that it was all in my head, so I stopped for a week, but then the pains came back. so I went back on Anatabloc and well those pains are gone.
I got hit by a car years ago and well everything used to hurt, but not anymore, it costs me about 100 bucks a month, but so well worth it, and anyone who makes a big deal about the price is an idiot, People spend more money on vitamins, or their daily Star bucs coffee or even on a bar stool, feeling good for $100 is well worth it and has become part of my routine. I encourage all reading this to try it, it took me about two months on the product to feel better, and Im glad I did, And thank God I found it at GNC stores!
Jack, You can get Anatabloc directly on their website for $79 per bottle. I agree with you, I would pay twice this much to feel as good as I do. I have been taking for over 2 years and I continue to see imporovements in my overall health so if you think you feel better after just 8 months, just wait!
John P. Could you please post the website for Anatabloc. I have never taken this product but would love to discuss it with my doctor. I have suffered with Hashimotos disease for 15 years or more and would love to get some relief. Thanks so much.
the link to their website is above at the end of the article.
It is also available at GNC if you don’t want to wait to oder but it is more expensive unless you sign up for their gold club membership.
For me it took about a month before I started really noticing improvements so don’t expect immediate results. Also be sure to educate yourself on their website about taking consistently and evenly throughout the day.
Katherine, good luck with discussing with MD…I sent Mary’s info to my integrative MD who writes my Armour…I’m not sure where the Hashi is these days, I’ve been taking Selenium for a couple yrs and Iodine without fail daily… Not many MD’s are aware of Anatabloc.
I’ll get labs this summer and get all thyroid labs done, it will be interesting. jm
It’s pretty life changing for me so far, I’ve been thru hell and coming back
to a pretty decent feeling life….and I talk to so many about this
supplement and it’s unbelievable how many SHUN me and attack me
on this “natural” supplement… But I continue and at least I’m putting
it out there and planting seeds in people’s minds…..
This is an interesting possibility for Hashimoto sufferers. What I am concerned about is the use of parabens in the formula. Parabens are known to cause breast cancer. There are no published side effects and this product has not been studied long enough (especially on humans) to know its long term side effects.
This makes such sense to me, for it was when i gave up smoking that my hypothyroidism really began to manifest and arthritis as well. i am concerned by Renee’s comments as taking anything that could reactivate breast cancer is not something I want to risk.
Yes, Yes, Yes.
I quit smoking three years ago and kept waiting and waiting to feel as great as everyone told me I would but the EXACT OPPOSITE happened.
I know you are supposed to gain weight when you quit smoking but I GAINED over 50 lbs. became tired ALL of the time, freezing hands and feet, losing my hair and developed year round indoor allergies (there are actual studies that show that smoking had an effect on mast cells).
People would laugh at me when I told them I felt better when I smoked they all thought I was just looking for an excuse to go back to smoking.
The INSTANT I found out anatabloc was derived from tobacco I went out and bought it.
It’s only been a day but my fingers are crossed.
Good luck to ALL.
I think it would be great if this product ultimately performs as wished, but I’m disappointed that this article mostly sounds like an ad for the company and uses much of the product pitch on the company website in its content. I have read all of the scientific evidence for this anti-inflammatory. Except for one in vitro (cells in petri dish) human microglial cell study with only an n=4 in each treatment arm, all the published studies are on mice models. A mouse model does not a human treatment make most of the time. If it did, we would have cured cancer and AIDS by now because there are thousands of studies of successful treatments in murine models that did not eventuate in successful treatments in humans. The study that’s getting all the play in the media right now, and to which this article refers, is an unpublished in-house study done by the company. I don’t wish to be such a skeptic, but in my experience working for pharma and supplement companies, they sell hard on preliminary unpublished in-house data, and then many of those studies never get accepted for publication because of problems with the data (Fukothin being one that comes immediately to mind. They made bazillions by selling on preliminary in-house data that never got accepted for publication in spite of their promises that it was coming. Hardly anybody who parted with their share of those bazillions lost weight either). Until the paper shows up in publication, there’s no way of knowing if the difference in thyroid antibodies in the treatment arm was due to the anatabine or to something else confounding that result, or how powerful or weak the study design was. It’s great, though, that everyone posting here has had such amazing results with the product. There’s also a fair amount of positive commentary on Amazon about the product, but I have noticed that a large percentage of the 5 star reviews are from individuals who have never reviewed any other product. Sometimes that’s an indication that those reviews are company placements. As a physiologist working on the food/botanical side of reducing inflammation in my clients who suffer, I’d love for this product to work, and I wouldn’t care how much it cost, I’d recommend it. But the cart is before the horse right now, IMO. The biggest reason for optimism, however, is that the study authors have, in fact, been previously published in good journals. Hopefully, this upcoming data is strong.
Mary -
I recently started taking Anatabloc and I am happy report positive results thus far. However, I think it is important that your readers understand two things. First, there is no, as in zero, research available on anatabine except that done by the Roskamp Institute. The Roskamp Institute is a cash-strapped research facility which is doing this research for compensation from the manufacturer of Anatabloc. The double-blind thyroid study you mention is another Roskamp Institute project. The CEO of the manufacturer, Star Scientific (STSI), is a promoter with a history, see “http://www.thestreetsweeper.org/undersurveillance/CIGX_Leader__Blowing_Smoke_While_Investors_Choke_ ” . One must necessarily question anything from the Roskamp Institute on this basis.
Second, there is no reliable information of any kind on side effects. Personally, I am finding that my mind seems clearer and my focus is better, but I frankly do not know what else the anatabine is doing to me. I will continue taking Anatabloc for the time being as it seems to be helping, but I believe your readers should know facts I have presented here.
There have been four peer-reviewed articles published. They are:
1) “Anatabine lowers Alzheimer’s Aβ production in vitro and in vivo” published in the European Journal of Pharmacology – 11/30/11

All four of these are mice studies. There are two studies involving human subjects that have been completed but are awaiting peer review. Here are links to company press releases announcing interim results:

I’m 75 and have been on Anatablock for 4 mo. I first noticed the skin barnacles about 15 years ago, Dr said they were nothing to worry about, just due to old age, so I just scraped them off. After two weeks an Anatablock , the barnacles were gone. Other noticeable changes have been much less ear wax build up and I can now sleep on my back. My tolerance for exercise is much improved.
I am a 65 year old male with severe Heart disease and Parkinson’s disease. I am on Liptor now augmented by Anatabloc. I have been able to reduce my Lipitor-semivastin by 1/2 (reducing the painfull sideffects) and still maintain a healthy HDL/LDL blood level. I have also learned that smokers with Parkinson’ s are extremly rare. This would imply that something in tabacco smoke maintains the brains ability to produce dopamine; low dopamine levels are systematic with the onset of Parkinsons. I have been on medication to increase my dopamine levels for over two years. It is typical, in this kind of treatment, that the medicine begins to loose its benefit as soon as you begin taking it. The Anatibine has maintained the effectiveness of the dopamine enhancing drug and stalled my symtoms. I express only a slight head bobble in an exciting tv program or movie and with medicine I am symtom free 99% of the time.
The most dramatic improvement has been in my short term memory. I am no longer leaving my cell phone on the counter when I leave in my car or walking over to the pantry to get something only to forget what it was. I now have recall on those matters and can go right to the place where I put something down or temporaily “lost” it.
Bottom line I believe it will slow or stop the onset of Altimers (with the Liptor) and continue to stall the onset of progressive symtoms of Parkinsons disease.
I am suffering from hypothyroid can i take Anatablock??please suggest me….
I take Armour since 2002 and doing good on it, since on Anatabloc, I’m taking
30mg less Armour, on Anatabloc 2 months now.
I see no reason why you can’t take Abloc, I’m no doctor..but you
can ask an MD at Anatabloc 800 778-2031 ext 4…ask for an MD
for a health question and answer.
Robert L, hope it’s OK to send your Parkinson comments on
to my cousin’s husband, he deals with PD….joy
I have incredible pain in my left knee and even worse pain in my palm right under my thumb. I couldn’t even touch it without a shaft pain. I really like yard work, so along with my knee and thumb I was having a hard time doing the yard anymore . A friend told me about Antabloc, so I went to the nearest GNC store they gave me the GNC Gold Card which reduces the price big time. Huge savings. I started taking this Anatabloc and at first I thought it was in my mind, the longer I took it the better I got. Today there’s no pain, I mean no pain at all. I would bet that Anatabloc of all the vitamins in a GNC store is one thing that really works. I take other vitamins from GNC and know I need them and that they are very good for me, but Antabloc is without a doubt the best thing that’s happened to me. At my age I can even get out of bed in the mornings without with a swagger, yes a old man with a swagger!! LOL !!! I don’t know who the company is that started this Anatabloc, but please do not let this product go anywhere. Keep it. I’ll buy 5 bottles at a time if I have too. Sorry so long friends, but I should be overwhelmed and excited over this product. Again sorry so long.
Ricky
Interesting to hear about this.I developed thyroid disease when I stopped smoking 15 years ago -it is likely I was borderline even before but numbers went through the roof, I have never felt well since despite a cooperative doctor who was willing to experiment.Out of frustration and with great reluctance, after reading some intereresting research on the uses of nicotine in medicine, I tried using small doses of nicotine gum about two months ago.Amazingly, I feel normal for the first time since thyroid dx!
In reading this info…”Data from this rigorously conducted, placebo-controlled, double blind trial show that anatabine-treated subjects had progressive decreases in circulating thyroglobulin antibody levels, which became significant by the end of the trial.”..I was wondering if this is helpful for thyroid cancer patients?
Mary Jo, the first supp put out by this company was CigRx which helped people
get off cigs, but then many report they were feeling better re: arthritis, etc….
Interesting stuff and History of Anatabine which is main ingredient in Anatabloc. The science of it all.
I loath smoking and here I am taking a supp and getting good results that
contains alkaloids from tobacco.
I have a kind of friend who still smokes at 80, says she’ll never
quit, she’s always high as a kite and manic often…very high or
very angry….she never sleeps she says and drinks coffee all day
too…not a healthy person at all…but hardly complains about joint
pain…..but she’s not a picture of health for sure. We play bridge in some
groups and she gets so angry, I have had to “tell her off” and she settles
down…ummmmmmm
I came across Anatabloc in a financial rag. It was not identified by name, but was easy to track down. The web site had a number of testimonials from tennis players, which intrigued me.
I am 57 and regularly play tennis. I try to play like I did in college, resulting in stiffness and soreness the next day. I would take baby steps the next morning, and take stairs one at a time. I would often take 3 ibuprofen before playing, which would significantly reduce the post match soreness. This has been going on for 20 years,
I ordered Anatabloc and took it for 5 weeks, 2 tablets three times a day. The soreness and stiffness has completely gone away. When I play hard, my muscles are only a little tight and tired. I have now increased the dose to 9 tablets a day, with no side effects. I have been taking the product for about 6 months.
I was skeptical about the product initially, but now I believe they really have something significant. I have recommended this product to my friends, but no one is taking it.
I am considering investing in the parent company, but the history of the company and officers is pretty dubious. Still, I think it is worth the $40 to try it for 6 weeks. The results certainly impressed me.
Tom, good review….What is the $40 deal? I pay normally $80 for 300 lozenges but Anatabloc has been giving me a $10 discount with my recent orders….$40????
I’m on it a little over 2 months and no tennis here, but years of joint destruction and I’ll be 75….
Anatabloc works I’ve used Anatabloc for one year, the first month or so I wasn’t sure I was getting any benefit then it works, I don’t have all the achs
Tom, you didn’t comment on the $40, do you take less dose during the
day? If one takes less, then the bottle goes a lot farther…but I haven’t found a price lower than $80 out there…
My daughter just reported it’s helping her too with a collapsed tendons in foot and it’s reducing pain and inflammation there…and thru the body in general…but at 3 weeks she is feeling constipation, I felt it at 4 weeks,,so upping magnesium, hot water before bed and other stuff keep “moving”….
After reading this article, I decided that despite the lack of really solid scientific evidence so far it was worth giving Anatabloc a try. I have only been taking it a few days but I have already had to reduce my thyroid medication. So far, I’m impressed. I feel like I have energy just like a normal person (fellow hypothyroid sufferers will know how big this is!). Thanks, Mary, for featuring the article.
Manda, I could NEVER get LDN to work for ME…I gave it a good 6 month trial, oh how I wanted it to work. I could not take it at night, I got HORRIBLE constipation at one point, then when I got to 2.5mg I got nasty muscle and joint pains… I started at .5mg and never got past 2.5mg…I had to give up…but 6 months was a good try…. I was HOPING it would work to keep me from a hip replacement, but not the case…hip replacement won out, and now 2.5 yrs later I’m working with Anatabloc to reduce all the inflammation from surgery and Fibro and other OA issues…if Hashi issues are helped all the better.
I’m also concerned with the parabens in the formula. Why on earth put this toxic stuff in a medicine? All my other supplements don’t contain parabens, so it must be possible to create a formula without them.
And do you have to take them for the rest of your life? If your antibodies are down, and you stop taking Anatabloc, I suppose they will increase again? So this will be an expensive product for Hashimoto sufferes, if you need 6 a day for the rest of your life. LDN is cheaper and also effective.
I don’t know why the company does what they do for a preservative…
Manda, sounds like you are convinced on LDN which is A-OK if it works for you.
I am 44 years old, diagnosed with MS in July. I started taking Anatabloc the beginning of September. I have not gone on medication for MS. In January, I had another MRI and it showed no new lesions and no changes. I am due back the end of June for another MRI, I am hoping for the same results. I take two lozenges three times a day. I am doing extremely well and totally recommend Anatabloc.
Oh Krista, that is such good news…my sis has taken EVERY drug the MD’s pushed on her and she has done nothing but decline, I’ve sent her the Anatabloc info and also some time ago LDN info as I’ve heard and read where LDN has helped many with MS also.
I HOPE you continue in a positive way, I hope hope for you.
What do you want to know, did you read Mary Shomon’s comments on Anatabloc.com
Abloc works on reducing and modulating inflammation everywhere in the body. hence reduce PAIN.
impressed
