Improving Immunity - improves the body's defense against disease by improving the cell-mediated immunity.
Anti-stress – Managing cortisol level
Anti-oxidant - by increasing the activities of cellular antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase [SOD]; catalase [CAT]; glutathione S-transferase [GST]; heme oxygenase 1 [HO-1]; NADPH dehydrogenase, quinone 1 [NQO1]; nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 [Nrf2,])
Anti-inflammatory - by inhibiting prostaglandin (PGE2) synthesis by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and nitric oxide production by inhibiting nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and release of interleukins (IL-6 and IL-1β) and nuclear factor κ light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NFκB).
Sexual health – by helping to reduce oxidative stress and improve the antioxidant potential of seminal plasma; Also by preventing the stress induced cortisol-mediated decrease in testosterone level, as well as exerts an inhibitory action of prolactin on sperm production. These mechanisms normalize the male reproductive hormone levels and improve sperm parameters to enhance male fertility.
