Chiloe Avens
Geum quellyon
Geum quellyon is a traditional medicine plant, though its specific uses are not documented in historical or contemporary practices. Scientific studies have shown that the methanolic extract of Geum quellyon roots possesses antioxidant properties and inhibits growth in various human tumor cell lines, but the mechanisms vary among different cell types. While over 100 plant families provide potential medicinal compounds for food use, excessive consumption may lead to health issues. The study also noted strong antioxidant potential from dry tinctures of Geum rhodopaeum, though results varied between herba and rhizoma samples. RNA extraction from chemically complex plant species was effectively achieved using a combination of TRIzol with sarkosyl and the TURBO DNA-free kit. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
