The gooseberry contains antioxidants. (Anti-oxidation) possesses anti-inflammatory properties. (Anti-inflammatory) impact for liver protection diuresis pain alleviation Maintains blood sugar levels It helps to reduce blood pressure and heart rate. It operates on vascular smooth muscle in rats, according to the results. It inhibits guanylase cyclase activity, promotes nitric oxide production, and has antimicrobial properties. (Anti-bacterial) Fungal inhibitor of Enterobacter aerogenes, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

In addition to possessing antioxidant properties (Anti-oxidation), it was discovered to have anti-inflammatory properties. (Anti-inflammatory) via decreasing PGE2 in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells treated with LPS. As a result, gooseberry extract can be used in antioxidant-rich cosmetic products. anti-inflammatory Inhibit germs that cause acne (anti-acne), or since gooseberry is high in vitamin C, it may be used in skin care products.

Gooseberries are high in nutrients such polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins, and vitamin C, as well as taste. As a result, it can be employed in dietary supplement formulations. to supplement nutrients and strengthen the body’s immunological system (Immune system). It also includes Kaempferol and Adenosine, which aid to lower blood pressure. Anti-inflammatory antioxidants.

At the moment, gooseberry extract forms and gooseberry products are being developed in order to increase the stability of the extract or the development of raw material sources extraction process and the process of developing products that are stable and increase the efficiency of the active ingredients. In the development of research and natural extracts, TIBD now collaborates with major research institutes both locally and abroad, such as Japan and Brazil. If, on the other hand, you are interested in co-investing in the form of research development, developing commercial patents, or continuing to make product recipes under your brand.
