Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract functions through a dual-action pathway of antioxidant protection and anti-inflammatory support. It contains specific phenolic compounds like kaempferol glucosides and the protein Concanavalin A, which help modulate lipid activity and soothe oxidative stress while delivering a concentrated 'broth' of micronutrients that support cellular metabolism.
