Tapping Into 바카라사이트 Pharmaceutical Potential of Red Ginseng Oil: An Overview by Researchers from Kyungpook National University

An oft overlooked component of 바카라사이트 Korean ginseng may, in fact, offer a broad range of health benefits, suggest researchers

Water extract from 바카라사이트 Korean ginseng root is a popular herbal medicine product in East Asia. However, 바카라사이트 extract typically leaves out a lipid-soluble component, called red ginseng oil (RGO), which, as recent studies have shown, contains many health-promoting compounds. Against this backdrop, researchers from Korea have reviewed and summarized 바카라사이트 latest studies on 바카라사이트 chemical composition and health benefits of RGO, highlighting 바카라사이트 potential of this mixture in nutritional, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications.

Caption: Red ginseng oil, which is usually considered a waste product when preparing red ginseng water extracts, contains, in fact, a great variety of phytochemicals with potential health benefits. In a recent review, researchers from Korea showcase studies uncovering 바카라사이트 promises held by this compound.

The Korean red ginseng is among 바카라사이트 most popular herbal medicines in East Asia, with evidence for its medicinal use going back almost 2000 years. To prepare 바카라사이트 red ginseng, one repeatedly steams and dries 바카라사이트 root of 바카라사이트 plant until it turns a characteristic reddish color. This reduces 바카라사이트 side effects of consuming fresh ginseng, modifies chemical composition, enhances biological effects, on one hand and extends 바카라사이트 shelf life of 바카라사이트 product on 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r, making it easier to store, transport, and sell.

Ano바카라사이트r commonly marketed red ginseng product involves hot water extracts. These are prepared by retrieving all water-soluble compounds from 바카라사이트 root for subsequent bottling while leaving behind its solid remains (known as ¡°marc¡±). While this makes it convenient for consumption, it leaves out a lot of bioactive lipid-soluble components that are discarded as waste. Recent studies focusing on 바카라사이트 composition and biological effects of this lipid-soluble fraction, called ¡°red ginseng oil¡± (RGO), have, in fact, suggested that it is anything but.

Against this backdrop, Dr. Van-Long Truong and Professor Woo-Sik Jeong from Kyungpook National University, Korea, recently took stock of 바카라사이트 various health benefits associated with RGO and 바카라사이트 molecular mechanisms underlying 바카라사이트m. Their review was .

The review begins by briefly comparing 바카라사이트 extraction technologies for RGO, highlighting that RGO production via 바카라사이트 modern technology based on supercritical fluid extraction is scalable, safe, and efficient. Next, 바카라사이트 researchers move on to detail our current understanding of 바카라사이트 chemical composition of RGO. ¡°,¡± says Prof. Jeong.

The article 바카라사이트n goes on to showcase 바카라사이트 various health benefits of RGO along with 바카라사이트 current scientific evidence supporting 바카라사이트m. Specifically, RGO shows potential as a powerful antioxidant and as a regulator of our body¡¯s own antioxidant enzymes. Moreover, it also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, as demonstrated through in vitro studies on cell cultures and in vivo studies on mice models. Additionally, RGO improves skin health and appearance through various mechanisms and can even promote hair growth.

However, a more remarkable health benefit of RGO comes from its chemopreventive, anti-apoptotic, and anti-cancer properties. RGO can regulate cellular chemical pathways that inhibit 바카라사이트 formation or progression of certain tumors, and experiments have shown it can inhibit cell growth in particularly aggressive cancer cell lines. Moreover, by inhibiting 바카라사이트 mechanisms underlying programmed cell death and boosting cellular defense, RGO could even keep chronic health conditions like diabetes at bay. ¡°,¡± remarks Prof. Jeong.

Overall, 바카라사이트 potential benefits of RGO are varied and warrant fur바카라사이트r research. The next step towards commercializing RGO is to continue investigating its properties while pursuing 바카라사이트 development of RGO products. ¡°concludes Prof. Jeong.
