The effect of mangosteen extract
The anti-inflammatory effect of mangosteen extract is studied through animal experiments and clinical double-blind human experiments. The mechanism of action is to inhibit cytokines (Cytokines: TNF-α, IL-1), thereby reducing the activity of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) and prostaglandin PGE2 The production of TNF-α is related to the reduction of the inflammatory index, and the results of human experiments show that after taking 600mg of 10% mangosteen extract every day for five consecutive days, it can effectively reduce the pain by 50%, which is equivalent to the effect of taking the non-steroid drug Nimesulide, which is long-term The best alternative for patients taking anti-inflammatory drugs.
