Osbeckia
Osbeckia
Osbeckia is a plant traditionally used in Sri Lankan medicine. While its specific traditional uses are not well-documented, it has shown promise in scientific research for potential health benefits. Studies indicate that Osbeckia octandra bioactives exhibit significant antioxidant and antineuroinflammatory properties, as well as neuroprotective effects. Additionally, the Liv-Pro formulation containing Osbeckia octandra showed reduced liver enzyme levels and improved lipid profiles in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) after two months of treatment. The methanol and ethyl acetate leaf extracts demonstrated dose-dependent cytotoxicity and migration inhibition in human oral squamous cell carcinoma cells, suggesting potential anti-cancer activity through the BCL2 pathway. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for Osbeckia; however, further research is needed to confirm these findings comprehensively.

Ce que dit la science
- L'étude a montré que les bioactifs d'Osbeckia octandra montrent des propriétés antioxidantiques, inhibitrices de l'enzyme LOX, antineuro-inflammatoires et neuroprotectrices importantes.
- Liv-Pro a considérablement réduit les niveaux d'ALT et d'AST, le cholestérol total, les triglycérides, l'LDL et le contenu en graisse hépatique chez les patients atteints de NAFD après deux mois.
- Les extraits de feuilles d'Osbeckia octandra dans le méthanol et l'acétate d'éthyle ont montré une cytopathicité dose-dépendante et une inhibition de la migration chez les cellules de carcinome épidermoïde de la cavité orale humaine, potentiellement via le chemin BCL2.
- L'étude a montré que les ingrédients individuels de la formulation polyphytologique sri-lanaise (LivosBEE™) ont un soutien scientifique pour des effets hépatoprotecteurs dans les modèles précliniques.
