Main Health Function of Pueraria Extract
1. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects
The various components in Pueraria Extract have significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which can clear free radicals, reduce inflammatory reactions, and protect cells from damage.
2. Regulating endocrine system
Pueraria extract has estrogen like effects, which can regulate the female endocrine system and alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, palpitations, insomnia, etc. Regulate female hormones and alleviate discomfort caused by menstruation.
3. Soothe the nerves
The polysaccharides and other components in Pueraria Extract can regulate the brain and nervous system, improve cognitive ability, and help improve symptoms such as insomnia and anxiety. Symptoms of restlessness, palpitations, and hot flashes have significantly improved.
4. Expand blood vessels
Isoflavones such as puerarin have the effect of dilating coronary and cerebral blood vessels, increasing coronary and cerebral blood flow, reducing myocardial oxygen consumption, and improving myocardial blood supply and oxygen supply capacity.
5. Improve liver cell activity and prevent fatty liver
Pueraria extract can enhance the activity of liver cells, restore normal liver function, promote liver cell regeneration, repair damaged liver cells, and keep human liver function in a normal state. In addition, it can promote bile secretion, reduce cholesterol and fat accumulation in the human liver, prevent fatty liver, and prevent gallstones.
6. Enhance body metabolism
Pueraria extract can promote the body's metabolism and accelerate blood circulation.
7. Lowering blood pressure
Pueraria Extract has alpha receptors and angiotensin II receptors, as well as blocking effects, and its therapeutic effect is superior to previous antihypertensive drugs. Especially likely to reverse myocardial hypertrophy caused by hypertension. Puerarin can quickly restore the significantly increased plasma endothelin (ET) levels to normal. Therefore, one of the mechanisms of puerarin treatment for hypertension may be to inhibit excessive release of ET, promote endothelial recovery function, and stimulate PG12 synthase activity, significantly increase EC production of PG, inhibit platelet aggregation, and improve blood circulation. High doses of puerarin can lower blood sugar and significantly reduce serum cholesterol.
8. Relieve alcohol and detoxify
Pueraria Extract can inhibit the activity of alcohol in the human body and reduce its damage to human tissue cells. In addition, the daidzein it contains can also reduce the toxicity of alcohol, which can reduce the damage of alcohol to the human brain and liver. It can also reduce the absorption rate of alcohol by the stomach and intestines, allowing the alcohol in the body to be excreted as soon as possible, thus playing an important role in sobering up and detoxifying.
9. Preventing high blood sugar
Pueraria Extract contains a large amount of puerarin and flavonoids, which can not only clear cholesterol and fat from human blood, but also promote insulin secretion and prevent high blood sugar., In addition, the content of sugar in wild kudzu root is very low. People with diabetes can also eat it, and it can prevent complications of diabetes and keep people's condition stable.
10. Anti cancer
Researchers used modern separation methods to extract total flavonoids from Pueraria Extract for animal experiments and found that the inhibition rate of mouse gastric cancer reached 77.77%, and the inhibition rate of rat lung cancer reached 55.65%. After research, it was found that kudzu flavonoids have a significant effect on increasing the activity of NK cells, SOD, and P450. The results of population intervention trials conducted in high incidence areas of esophageal cancer have shown that total flavonoids from Pueraria lobata have a significant inhibitory effect on the carcinogenesis of patients with basal cell hyperplasia.
