Antioxidant Activity

BlueCALM™ has strong antioxidant activity showing a significant dose-dependent radical scavenger activity in different experimental models.

BlueCALM™ - Antioxidant Activity

Scavenger activity of BlueCALM™ towards the ABTS radical.
Each value represents the mean of ± EMS (n=6).
***p<0.001 indicates a statistically significant reduction in ABTS radical levels compared to the control (Ctrl).

Anti Glycation Activity

BlueCALM™ has shown anti-glycation activity: It inhibits the formation of AGEs (Advanced glycation end products), some harmful substances deriving from the combination of proteins and fats with sugars, that are involved in many chronic degenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s, and in aging. These results may support the plant’s neuro protective effects, already reported by available scientific data.

BlueCALM™ - Anti Glycation Activity

BlueCALM™ improves mild anxiety and insomnia.

BlueCALM™  has been tested on a human adrenocortical carcinoma cell line, an in vitro model commonly used to investigate the mechanism of action of molecules with anti-anxiety activity. BlueCALM™  significatively inhibits the release of cortisol, the body’s main “stress hormone”.
