Versatile Applications
Neuroprotection and Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
Mechanism of action:
Levodopa passes through the blood-brain barrier and is converted into dopamine, supplementing the dopamine deficiency in the brains of Parkinson's disease patients.
Clinical evidence:
100-300mg of levodopa per day (equivalent to 2-6g of quinoa extract) can significantly improve tremors and bradykinesia.
Male Reproductive Health
Increase testosterone:
Saponins regulate the hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis and increase testosterone secretion (clinical studies have shown an increase of 20-30%).
Improving sperm quality:
Antioxidants reduce sperm DNA damage and increase sperm vitality and quantity.
Antioxidant and anti-aging
Eliminate free radicals:
Polyphenols with an ORAC value of ≥ 15000 μ mol TE/g protect cells from oxidative damage.
Anti glycation:
Inhibit the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and delay skin aging.
Emotional regulation
Levodopa is converted into dopamine, which improves symptoms of depression and anxiety.
