Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates as a potent antioxidant by actively neutralizing free radicals and mitigating oxidative stress within skin cells. This action is attributed in part to the presence of bioactive compounds like hyperin, a derivative of quercetin, along with other alkaloids, flavonoids, and glycosides. Preclinical investigations further suggest that Uncaria Sinensis Extract may possess anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective qualities.
