Cytotoxic Effects: Contains lectins and viscotoxins, compounds that may have direct anti-tumor activity in certain cancers.
Other Benefits
Cardiovascular Health: Traditionally used to help regulate blood pressure and improve circulation.
Nervous System Support: Promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, and supports restful sleep.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: May help alleviate chronic inflammation, supporting conditions like arthritis.
