Description
Helps support antioxidant defences
Part of the PureResponse™ product line
Protects against lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress caused by free radicals
Increases mRNA and protein expression levels of antioxidant enzymes
Perilla seed has been traditionally used in Chinese and Herbal Medicine for a wide range of health promoting benefits. This herb offers a concentrated source of polyphenols and flavonoids, including rosmarinic acid and luteolin, along with other beneficial compounds.
A study investigating the effects of Perilla on LDL oxidation and antioxidant enzyme expression in humans, found Perilla significantly increased mRNA and protein expression levels of antioxidant enzymes in endothelial cells. Research has shown that oxidant-antioxidant balance is an important determinant of immune cell function, including maintaining the integrity and functionality of membrane lipids, cellular proteins, and nucleic acids. Due to the higher percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids in their plasma membranes, cells of the immune system are particularly sensitive to changes in oxidant-antioxidant balance. These cells are also frequently exposed to changes in this balance because of the high number of reactive oxygen intermediates produced as part of their normal function.
Suggested Use: Adults: Take 1 capsule 1-2 times daily, between meals, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
Medicinal Ingredients (per capsule):
Perilla Seed Extract ... 150 mg
(Perilla frutescens)
(5:1, 750 mg dried equivalent; standardized to contain 3% polyphenols)
Non-Medicinal Ingredients: Vegetarian capsule (hypromellose, water)
Risk Information: Do not use if you are allergic to plants of the Lamiaceae/Labiatae/Mint family. Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep out of the reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place. Use only if safety seal is intact.
