Arjuna Bark [1 oz.]

Health Benefits of Arjuna

Arjuna or Terminalia Arjuna has a lot of health benefits and is one of the star Ayurvedic ingredients. Let’s discuss a few benefits, shall we?

1. Improves Heart Health

First, it regulates the proper flow of blood in the arteries and veins. Secondly, it helps lower blood pressure, thus helping patients maintain their blood pressure.

2. Powerful Antioxidant

When our body produces energy, the chemical reaction results in the production of free radicals. These free radicals can also develop if you expose yourself to external stressors like the sun, tobacco smoke, and environmental pollution. Free radicals increase the oxidative stress in our bodies and are capable of causing serious health issues like cancer and heart disease. Arjuna is a free-radical scavenger that reduces the number of free radicals considerably.

3. Improves Liver Health

Arjuna is a potent ingredient with hepatoprotective properties that improve liver health efficiently. A study reveals that Arjunolic Acid (AA) is capable of reducing Steatosis ( fatty liver disease). 

4. Reduces Cholesterol

Arjuna has significant hypocholesterolemic properties. It reduces the amount of low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides and helps increase the levels of high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol).

5. Balances Sugar Levels

Results of a study revealed that arjuna bark extracts improved insulin action and production, reduced the breakdown of carbohydrates, and halted the cell-damaging process of protein glycation.
