Key Ingredients & Scientific Insights
Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica):
Function & Benefits:
- Exhibits notable anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antioxidant properties.
- Contains bioactive compounds such as chlorogenic acid and luteolin.
Scientific Explanation & Pathways:
-
May inhibit the NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) pathway, reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
- Antioxidant actions help mitigate oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals.
Chinese Gong Ju Chrysanthemum:
Function & Benefits:
- Traditionally used for its cooling effects, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities.
- Rich in flavonoids and phenolic acids.
Scientific Explanation & Pathways:
-
Likely modulates inflammatory responses through pathways such as MAPK<(mitogen-activated protein kinase) and NF-κB, leading to reduced secretion of inflammatory mediators.
- Antioxidant components help protect cells from oxidative damage.
Licorice Roots (Glycyrrhiza spp.):
Function & Benefits:
- Known for its immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective properties.
- Contains glycyrrhizin, liquiritin, and isoliquiritigenin.
Scientific Explanation & Pathways:
-
Glycyrrhizin can inhibit the NF-κB pathway, reducing the release of proinflammatory cytokines.
- It also helps modulate the immune response and may support antioxidant defenses by enhancing endogenous antioxidant enzyme activity.
Mulberry Leaves (Morus alba):
Function & Benefits:
- Possess antidiabetic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Rich in flavonoids, alkaloids, and phenolic compounds.
Scientific Explanation & Pathways:
-
May help regulate blood sugar by inhibiting α-glucosidase enzymes and activating the AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase) pathway, which improves insulin sensitivity.
- Antioxidant properties contribute to reducing cellular oxidative stress.
Mint Leaves (Mentha piperita):
Function & Benefits:
- Well known for soothing gastrointestinal discomfort, providing a cooling sensation, and reducing inflammation.
- Contains high levels of menthol.
Scientific Explanation & Pathways:
-
Menthol activates TRPM8 (transient receptor potential melastatin 8) receptors, which induce a cooling effect and may help modulate pain and inflammation.
-
Its antioxidant capacity helps neutralize free radicals, contributing to cellular protection.
