Used in anti-inflammatory formulations due to its ability to inhibit 5-lipoxygenase, an enzyme involved in the production of leukotrienes that promote inflammation. Commonly found in herbal supplements targeting joint health, especially for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Also investigated for potential anti-cancer properties, particularly in colon, prostate, and brain cancers, where it may induce apoptosis and suppress tumor growth. Applied in skincare products for its anti-aging and anti-acne effects, thanks to its antioxidant and sebum-regulating activity. Some formulations use it to support respiratory health by reducing bronchial inflammation in conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
