Plains coreopsis
Coreopsis tinctoria
Coreopsis tinctoria, commonly known as coreopsis or dyer's coreopsis, is a flowering plant traditionally used in some Native American and herbal medicine practices. While its specific traditional uses are not well-documented, it has been employed for various purposes including dye production from its flowers. Scientific evidence suggests that compounds found in Coreopsis tinctoria may have potential therapeutic benefits. Studies indicate that TFSC (a compound identified in the plant) improved cognitive function and reduced blood pressure in hypertensive rats with vascular dementia, hinting at possible holistic health applications. Additionally, the plant extract has shown promise in mitigating damage caused by methylglyoxal (MGO), a compound associated with skin aging, and improving intestinal barrier function. Safety data for Coreopsis tinctoria is currently limited but does not indicate any major issues. There are no recorded drug interactions as of now, though further research is needed to fully understand its safety profile and potential interactions in humans.

What the science says
- TFSC improved cognitive function and reduced blood pressure in hypertensive rats with vascular dementia, showing both vascular and neuroprotective effects.
- Coreopsis tinctoria treatment improved defecation function and reduced intestinal barrier damage in STC rats by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway.
- A total of 28 components were identified from Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt. extract, showing potential in mitigating MGO-induced cell damage and reducing markers of skin glycation aging.
- CTGs showed improved skin retention and attenuated UVB-induced dermal damage in mice, suggesting potential for skin photoaging repair.
