Description

Functions

Anti-Inflammatory and Immune Modulation

Reduction of Inflammation: White Peony Root Extract contains compounds like paeoniflorin, which inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α and IL-6) and reduce inflammation in the body.

Balanced Immune Response: Unlike some anti-inflammatory drugs, it helps modulate the immune system without suppressing its overall function, making it suitable for long-term use.

Hormonal Balance

Estrogen Modulation: The extract is traditionally used to support hormonal balance, particularly in women. It helps regulate estrogen levels, which can alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), menstrual irregularities, and menopausal discomfort.

Support for Reproductive Health: It is often used in TCM to treat conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and infertility.

Cardiovascular Health

Improved Circulation: White Peony Root Extract promotes vasodilation, helping to improve blood flow and reduce blood pressure.

Anticoagulant Effects: It helps prevent blood clot formation, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and heart attack.

Antioxidant Protection: The extract contains antioxidants that protect blood vessels from oxidative damage, further supporting cardiovascular health.

Neuroprotective and Cognitive Support

Brain Health: White Peony Root Extract enhances neurotransmitter signaling (e.g., acetylcholine) and increases levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which supports brain health and cognitive function.

Stress and Sleep: It helps reduce stress levels and improve sleep quality, making it beneficial for managing anxiety and insomnia.

Antioxidant and Anti-Aging Effects

Free Radical Scavenging: The extract is rich in antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and protecting cells from damage.

Anti-Aging Benefits: Its antioxidant properties contribute to anti-aging effects, both internally and on the skin.

Digestive Health

Gut Inflammation: White Peony Root Extract helps reduce inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, alleviating symptoms of conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Improved Digestion: It supports healthy bile flow and promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, enhancing overall digestive function.
