Science
Mechanism of Action
This botanical powder exerts its effects primarily through modulating nitric oxide (NO) pathways in the skin. Specifically, its aqueous extract has demonstrated the ability to inhibit the release and suppress the synthesis of nitric oxide in mouse macrophages, indicating a direct anti-inflammatory action. The broader *Tinospora* genus is also recognized for general antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.
