The efficacy of paeonia lactiflora supplements mainly depends on the pharmacological effects of its active ingredients. The following are common application scenarios:
Relieve inflammation and pain
Paeonionin can inhibit the release of cyclooxygenase (COX) and inflammatory factors (such as IL-1β, TNF-α), and has an auxiliary alleviating effect on muscle soreness and joint inflammation (such as rheumatoid arthritis).
Case: A study on patients with osteoarthritis showed that after taking a supplement containing 200mg paeoniflorin daily for 8 weeks, the joint pain score decreased by approximately 30%.
Regulate emotions and stress
By acting on the receptors of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the central nervous system, it improves anxiety and depression and alleviates insomnia caused by stress.
Mechanism: Paeoniflorin can increase the content of GABA in the brain, inhibit excessive excitation of neurons, and has a similar effect to a "natural sedative".
Improve liver function
It protects the liver cell membrane, promotes the repair of liver cells, and has a certain protective effect on alcoholic liver injury and drug-induced liver injury.
Research support: Animal experiments have shown that the extract of white peony Root can reduce the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alleviate liver tissue inflammation.
Regulation of immunity and antioxidation
Enhance the activity of immune cells (such as T cells and macrophages), while eliminating free radicals in the body and delaying cell aging.
Application: Suitable for people with low immunity and prone to fatigue as daily health care.
