Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates through several proposed biological pathways. Its antioxidant capacity stems from its ability to neutralize free radicals, thereby reducing oxidative stress and protecting cellular integrity. For inflammation, it is suggested to inhibit the synthesis of inflammatory mediators such as histamine, serotonin, and prostaglandins. Furthermore, research indicates it may prevent lipid peroxidation induced by irritants like croton oil in rat skin. Certain components of the extract also demonstrate antimicrobial action by disrupting microbial cell membranes and impeding enzymatic activity, offering a potential barrier against bacterial and fungal proliferation.
