Used in research for its antioxidant properties, showing potential in protecting cells from oxidative stress. Investigated for anti-inflammatory effects, particularly in models of chronic inflammation. Shows promise in preliminary studies for supporting cardiovascular health by improving endothelial function. Also studied for possible anticancer activity due to its ability to influence cell cycle regulation and induce apoptosis in certain cancer cell lines. Explored in dermatological applications for UV protection and anti-aging formulations owing to free radical scavenging ability. Limited to laboratory and preclinical research; not approved for therapeutic use in humans.
