What will Mulberry Extract be used for ?

Mulberry fruit (Morus Lhou Koidz.), a rich source of the major anthocyanin, cyanidin 3glucoside (C3G), has traditionally been used for the treatment of inflammatory conditions including rheumatic arthritis. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of orally administrated methanolic mulberry fruit extract (ME) in carrageenan-induced arthritic rats, based on previously observed in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. A significant attenuation of hind paw inflammation characterized by fluid accumulation, uric acid production, and rheumatoid factors induced by carrageenan was observed following the intake of both ME (50 mg/kg of body weight) and C3G (10 mg/kg of body weight). Moreover, alterations in hematological parameters such as serum triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and atherogenic index following carrageenan administration were partially reversed by the administration of ME. It is concluded that dietary mulberry fruit extracts elicited protection against carrageenan-induced inflammation.

Anthocyanidin has the effects of anticancer, anti-free radical, invigorating the liver, benefiting the kidney, nourishing the blood, promoting salivation, moistening the intestines and freeing the stool. It also can accelerate the skin regeneration,lighten skin, remove sports and make the skin soft and rich in elasticity.
