Khaberni - A recent scientific study showed that the plant "Al-Ghasoul" or Hippophae, significantly supports the health of several organs in the body, from the liver to the brain.
The research conducted during the study showed that the fruits, seeds, and leaves of this plant are rich in flavonoids, vitamins, carotenoids, and beneficial fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation, protect cells from damage, and enhance the immune system.
Experiments also indicated that the substances found in this plant improve liver functions, reduce blood cholesterol levels, and support cardiovascular health.
Researchers also observed specific benefits of the "Al-Ghasoul" plant on digestive system health, where the polysaccharides present in it improve the gut microbiome, enhance its protective functions, and help regulate metabolic processes. Additionally, positive effects of this plant's extracts on brain health were noted, including reducing inflammation and supporting cognitive functions.
Scientists noted that "Al-Ghasoul" is widely used in food products, cosmetics, and dietary supplements due to its rich composition of beneficial substances. However, more clinical studies are needed to confirm its effects conclusively.
Some laboratory studies have shown that the fruits of this plant have promising anti-cancer effects, particularly for breast, liver, and cervical cancers. It may even restore appetite and counteract the side effects of chemotherapy.
