Garcinia indica, commonly known as kokum, is a traditional plant native to India. It has been used in Ayurvedic and traditional Indian medicine for various purposes, though specific uses are not well-documented. Scientific studies suggest potential benefits such as improved memory functions and neuroprotection through the inhibition of HAT enzymes, and mitigating Alzheimer's-like symptoms by regulating oxidative stress, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, and pro-inflammatory cytokines in Drosophila melanogaster models. Additionally, a combined supplementation with astaxanthin showed promise in modulating redox status and lysosomal degradation in murine models of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), though the effects were not always synergistic. Garcinol from Garcinia indica also exhibits potential as an epigenetic modulator with anti-cancer activities, but further human trials are needed for clinical application. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded to date.
