Key Benefits
How Does It Work?
Antiadipogenic Effects and Lipid Balance
Scirpin A and Scirpin B, along with piceatannol, exhibit anti-adipogenic attributes to help the body reduce weight and total cholesterol levels. Studies have shown that Musta tends to lower levels of triglycerides, LDLs, and total cholesterol, which boosts metabolism and benefits cardiovascular health.
Gastrointestinal support and Cytoprotective
Musta rhizomes show cytoprotective activities by inhibiting dose-dependent ulcers, which helps protect the stomach linings and supports digestive health.
Healing of Wound and Restoration of Tissues
Musta acts as a wound healing agent by improving tensile strength, speeding up closure time for wounds and enhancing their contraction ability for faster tissue repair.
Antioxidant, Anti-allergic and Anti-inflammatory Regulation
Sesquiterpenes present in Musta help to inhibit the production of 5-lipoxygenase-catalyzed leukotriene and degranulation, and valencene helps delay reactions to hypersensitivity. Additionally, Musta also restores antioxidant balance and displays anti-inflammatory effects.
Hepatoprotective and Cardioprotective Benefits
Musta neutralises serum cardiac marker enzymes, causing cardioprotective benefits, and also helps reduce serum levels of alkaline phosphatase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, and total bilirubin count, showcasing important hepatoprotective benefits.
