I. Pharmacological effects
Antioxidant
Scavenging free radicals: directly scavenging free radicals such as DPPH, protecting cells from oxidative damage.
Enhance the activity of antioxidant enzymes: increase the activity of intracellular antioxidant enzymes, reduce oxidative stress.
Anti-inflammatory
Inhibit inflammatory mediators: Reduce the level of inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6).
Applicable diseases: adjuvant treatment for inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, asthma, dermatitis, etc.
Regulation of blood lipids
Lowering cholesterol: reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).
Preventing cardiovascular diseases: improving blood lipid levels and preventing atherosclerosis.
Lowering blood pressure
Relaxes vascular smooth muscle: improves blood circulation and lowers blood pressure.
Promote intestinal health
Enhances intestinal barrier function: reduces absorption of harmful substances, aids in the treatment of gastric ulcers.
Improve microcirculation
Increase capillary toughness: prevent blood vessel rupture and bleeding, prevent and relieve varicose veins, hemorrhoids, etc.
Anti-virus
Protect cells from viruses: prevent influenza virus infection.
II. Clinical Applications
Cardiovascular diseases
Hypertension, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris: improve myocardial blood supply, regulate blood lipids, reduce blood pressure.
Inflammatory diseases
Arthritis, asthma, dermatitis: inhibit inflammatory response, reduce symptoms.
Metabolic syndrome
Hyperlipidemia: regulating blood lipid, preventing arteriosclerosis.
Obesity: promote fat metabolism, assist in weight control.
Cancer and Tumor
Auxiliary anti-cancer treatment: inhibit tumor growth and improve patients’ quality of life.
Digestive System Diseases
