Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates through a multifaceted biological pathway, primarily by effectively neutralizing free radicals, as evidenced by its demonstrated DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities. It also exhibits inhibitory effects on key enzymes such as elastase, contributing to potential anti-aging benefits by preserving skin elasticity, and nitric oxide, supporting its anti-inflammatory action. Additionally, certain Persicaria species have shown anti-tyrosinase activity, suggesting a mechanism for mitigating hyperpigmentation.
