With the aging of population and the increase of cerebrovascular diseases in China, the incidence of Alzheimer's disease is on the rise. Coupled with the fierce competition in modern society, everyone is under great pressure, which leads to the rapid growth of amnesia and fatigue syndrome. How to prevent and early prevent Alzheimer's disease and how to prevent memory loss has become a topic of concern to scientists all over the world. Through research, it is found that cistanche tubulosa has obvious effect of improving learning and memory, and has obvious curative effect on memory decline and Alzheimer's disease.
There are four ways to improve memory and prevent Alzheimer's disease: protecting nerve cells and inhibiting nerve cell apoptosis; Promote the growth and repair of nerve cells; Increase the release of neurotransmitters in the brain; Improve cerebral circulation. A large number of animal experiments show that the extract of cistanche tubulosa can obviously improve the learning and memory ability of normal animals, elderly animals and various model animals. At present, we have made the effective components of cistanche tubulosa into a series of extracts, which can be used as raw materials for health care products or food supplements. Cistanche tubulosa not only can be used as neuroprotective agent and cerebral circulation improver, but also has anti-fatigue effect. It is very useful for mental workers, patients with memory loss and early Alzheimer's disease.
Moistening intestines and relaxing bowels can be used to prevent constipation caused by intestinal dryness.
Moreover, its laxative effect is very obvious, and general constipation can be effective as long as you take 1-2 days. Modern research shows that the laxative effect of cistanche tubulosa is mainly realized through two ways: one is to increase intestinal osmotic pressure, reduce water absorption and soften stool; Second, promote intestinal peristalsis and shorten defecation time. This makes the catharsis effect of cistanche tubulosa different from that of rhubarb, senna and other traditional Chinese medicines. It is not diarrhea, but relaxing the bowels, which makes the stool wet and soft and easy to discharge. Therefore, cistanche tubulosa can relieve constipation without harming the body, which is especially suitable for the elderly, pregnant women and the weak, and of course suitable for the constipation of the general population.
Anti-aging, anti-aging, away from sub-health.
Pharmacological research shows that cistanche tubulosa has obvious anti-aging effect. The extract of cistanche tubulosa can not only significantly reduce the content of lipid peroxide in human body, but also significantly inhibit the production of lipid peroxide in rabbit blood and mouse liver, and significantly prolong the life span of Drosophila melanogaster. Polysaccharide and mannitol in cistanche deserticola can increase the content of hydroxyproline in mouse skin and delay skin aging. The experiment of aging model mice showed that Cistanche deserticola extract could obviously increase the volume of ultrafine particles in hepatocytes and ultrafine particles in cerebral cortex. Why can cistanche tubulosa resist oxidation and aging? Japanese scholar Morita confirmed through research that phenylethanoid glycosides contained in the extract of cistanche tubulosa have the effect of scavenging free radicals.
Protect the liver
Through research, Shigeyoshi Mentian and others also found that the active extract of Cistanche tubulosa has liver protection activity. Further research by Zhang Hongquan, a Chinese scholar, confirmed that the polysaccharide of cistanche tubulosa can obviously improve the loss of appetite and weight in mice, reduce the excessive alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, and resist the liver injury caused by carbon tetrachloride. Cistanche tubulosa has become one of the most commonly used nourishing drugs in the prescriptions of doctors in past dynasties because of its exact nourishing effect, and is known as "desert ginseng".
