Usage |
Cycloastragenol, belongs to the triterpene saponins, is mainly obtained from the hydrolysis of Astragaloside IV. Cycloastradiol is the only telomerase activator found today. It delays the shortening of telomeres by increasing telomerase. Cycloastradiol is believed to have anti-aging effects.
Due to the relatively large molecular weight of astragaloside and its dissolution inertia, its relative bioavailability in the body is insufficient, which limits its development and promotion as a drug.
Cycloastragenol (cycloastragenol) is a sapogenin of astragaloside IV. Cycloastragenol is the main hydrolyzed metabolite of astragaloside IV in the intestine and the components absorbed into the blood. It has a relatively small molecular mass and strong lipophilicity, which is conducive to biomembrane penetration and gastrointestinal absorption to achieve better bioavailability. A large number of modern medical studies have proved that astragaloside IV can reduce the damage of ischemia-reperfusion brain tissue by enhancing the body's ability to scavenge oxygen free radicals, inhibiting peroxidation, and reducing neuronal calcium overload. A study by Geron Biotechnology Company in the United States found that CAG has a significant telomerase activation effect. RevGenetics Nutrition and Health Products Company in the United States also confirmed through research that CAG is one of the raw materials for functional cosmetics and nutritional foods, and it is currently the only one available in The raw material for activating telomerase in human cells is a promising anti-aging substance.
Function of Cycloastragenol
1.Cycloastradiol has the effect on relieving stresses and protecting the body against various stresses, includingphysical, mental, or emotional stress;
2. Cycloastradiol has the function of enhancing immunity, protecting the body from diseases such as cancer and diabetes;
3. Cycloastradiol contains antioxidants, which protect cells against damage caused by free radicals;
4. Cycloastradiol is used to protect and support the immune system, antibacterial, and
antiinflammatory, for preventing colds and upper respiratory infections;
5. Cycloastradiol has the effect on lowering blood pressure, treating diabetes and protecting the liver.
