- Burdock Extract Powder Benefits
a) Anti-Fatigue Effect.
Burdock extract can improve the liver glycogen reserve and blood lactic acid clearance ability of mice, by stimulating cell proliferation, enhancing cell viability, promoting body growth, improving endurance and physical strength; it can also increase the basal metabolic rate to ensure energy supply , In order to improve endurance, physical strength and energy, has obvious anti-fatigue effect. Studies have shown that the anti-fatigue effect of burdock is arctiin, which can significantly increase the blood testosterone content and blood cortisol content of training rats, and extend the time for rats to run to exhaustion.b) Anti-Aging Effect.
Burdock has significant free radical scavenging and anti-oxidation ability, can significantly increase the SOD activity in liver tissue and serum, reduce the body’s MDA level, reduce cell damage and remove deposited aging metabolites, and play an anti-aging effect effect.c) Anti-Tumor.
Studies have shown that arctium can inhibit the activity of phosphofructosylase in cancer cells, and arctigenin can also effectively inhibit the expression of heat shock protein in cancer cells, thereby helping to kill cancer in hyperthermia therapy of cancer cell.d) Antibacterial and Antiviral.
Studies have found that the polyacetylenes of burdock root extract can play a good antibacterial and antifungal effect. When the chlorogenic acid reaches a certain concentration, it will also have a certain inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus.e) Hepatoprotective Effect.
The water extract of burdock root has a protective effect on the liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride or acetaminophen. It can reduce the level of SCOT and SGPT in a dose-dependent manner, and relieve the liver from the pathological view of Chemicalbook. The degree of damage. The water extract of burdock root also has a protective effect on the liver damage caused by chronic alcoholism and aggravated by carbon tetrachloride.f) The Effect of Lowering Blood Lipids.
The water extract of burdock seeds can significantly reduce the levels of total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) in model rats, and can increase the plasma total esterase (PHPA) and lipoprotein esterase (LPL) activities of rats Effectively increase and significantly improve the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) in rats, indicating that burdock can reduce blood lipids mainly by increasing the level of plasma HDL-c in rats and improving the activity of LPL enzymes.g) Antioxidant Effect.
The ability of burdock root ethanol extract to scavenge superoxide anion free radicals and hydroxyl radicals increases with the increase of concentration, and the ability of burdock ethanol extract to scavenge free radicals is stronger than that of burdock water extract.h) Anti-Diabetic Effects.
The total lignans in burdock seeds can significantly reduce the blood sugar level and the content of serum insulin and high-density lipoprotein in the diabetic group, and can increase the content of total cholesterol and triglycerides, proving that it can prevent diabetes complications happened.i) Other effects.
The water extract of burdock root can improve the sexual performance of male rats and the content of testosterone in serum. This study shows that burdock root has potential development value in the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. The addition of burdock oligofructose in fish feed can significantly promote the growth of fish to a certain extent, increase the utilization rate of fish feed, and can also effectively improve the nutritional content of fish and enhance the quality of fish meat.- Supplements Containing Burdock Extract Powder
