Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract primarily functions through multifaceted anti-inflammatory pathways, inhibiting key mediators such as TNF-α, IL-6, PGE2, COX-2, and iNOS. It further suppresses NF-κB and caspase-1 activation, contributing to its soothing effects. Beyond inflammation, it demonstrates antioxidant capabilities and has shown in vitro antibacterial activity, notably against Staphylococcus aureus.
