Natural Organic Hypericin St John's Wort Extract powder Details
Antidepressant effect: Hypericum extract (of which hyperforin is one of the main active ingredients) has been widely used to treat mild to moderate depression. Its mechanism of action may be related to affecting the reuptake of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.
Antiviral effect: Hypericin has an inhibitory effect on a variety of viruses, including herpes virus, influenza virus, and HIV. Its antiviral mechanism may be related to inhibiting viral replication and destroying the viral envelope.
Antitumor effect: In vitro and animal experiments have shown that hypericin can inhibit the growth and proliferation of tumor cells under light conditions. Its antitumor mechanism is mainly related to photodynamic therapy (PDT), that is, hypericin produces reactive oxygen species such as singlet oxygen under light, causing damage to tumor cells.
Antioxidant effect: Hypericin also has certain antioxidant activity, which can scavenge free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage.
Applications of Hypericin powder.
Medicine: Hypericum extract (containing hypericin) is often used to treat mild to moderate depression.Health products: Some health products also contain Hypericum extract or hypericin.
Research: Hypericin has important research value in photodynamic therapy and antiviral research.
Pharmacological Action of Hypericin powder.
1. Antidepressant effect:
Affecting the reuptake of neurotransmitters: Hypericin may inhibit the reuptake of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine by presynaptic neurons, thereby increasing the concentration of these neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft and exerting an antidepressant effect. This is similar to the mechanism of action of traditional antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), but the intensity of action may be relatively weak.
Affecting the neuroendocrine system: Hypericin may affect the activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis), regulate stress response, and thus relieve depressive symptoms.
2. Antiviral effect:
Inhibiting viral replication: Hypericin may interfere with the replication process of the virus, such as inhibiting the activity of the reverse transcriptase or protease of the virus.
Destroy the viral envelope: Hypericin can produce singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen species under light conditions, which can destroy the viral envelope, thereby making it lose its ability to infect.
3. Antioxidant effect: Hypericin has certain antioxidant activity, which can remove free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage.
4. Anti-inflammatory effect: Some studies have shown that hypericin may have certain anti-inflammatory effects
