Description
Organic Lotus Leaf Extract has a long history of use in traditional oriental medicine. The plant is rich in flavonoids that increase the activity of SOD (superoxide dismutase), reduce the formation of MDA (lipid peroxidation malondialdehyde) and OX-LDL (oxidized low-density lipoprotein). It contains scavengers of oxygen free radicals, can increase the coronary blood flow, functions as an antagonist for myocardial infarction, lowers high blood pressure, and decreases the risk for arrhythmia.
The flavonoids in organic lotus leaf extract belong to a class of valuable compounds that serves as a raw material for products used to manage heart health. The leafs are widely used in functional health foods and beverages. The plant also contains a second class of active substances, i.e. the hypolipidemic and antiviral alkaloids.
Function
People use organic lotus leaf extract for a variety of reasons.
- Anti-inflammatory. Nuciferine, the alkaloid found in lotus leaves, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in various studies. This could be beneficial for reducing inflammation in the body, which is linked to many chronic illnesses.
- Neuroprotective. Some research suggests that nuciferine may have neuroprotective properties, potentially helping to protect brain cells from damage and degeneration. This could be useful in the prevention or management of age-related conditions.
- Antioxidant. Lotus leaf extract is rich in antioxidants, including nuciferine, which can help neutralize harmful free radicals and oxidative stress in the body. Antioxidants are important for overall health and may help reduce the risk of various conditions.
- Blood Sugar. Preliminary studies indicate that nuciferine may have a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels by improving sensitivity and glucose metabolism. This could be helpful for individuals at risk of developing related conditions.
- Liver. Some animal studies have suggested that nuciferine may have a protective effect on the liver, potentially reducing liver damage and supporting liver function
