Celery seed extract is the extract of the mature seeds of Umbelliferae plants cress and celery. Studies have shown that celery seed has various pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, anti-tumor, and lowering blood lipids. The non-pregnant uterus has a contractile effect, can treat dysmenorrhea, and in Australia, celery seed oil is also used to treat joint pain.
- Lowering blood pressure
The antihypertensive and lipid-lowering components contained in celery seeds are 50 times that of celery. Short-term use can lower blood pressure and blood lipids. Long-term use is far superior to other Chinese and Western medicines, without any side effects. Celery seeds are good for high blood pressure. Has the effect of lowering blood pressure and blood lipids.
- Anti-tumor
Celery seeds contain a variety of flavonoids. It has been reported that 3-n-butylphthalide and celery sedative have anti-tumor activity, which can reduce the incidence of tumors from 68% to 30% and 11% respectively. At present, the research on the anti-tumor effect of celery seed mainly focuses on apigenin, and its anti-tumor mechanism is mainly the effect on the cell cycle and the normal operation of the active cell cycle interfered with by cyclin-dependent kinases.
- Anti-aging
The two compounds obtained from celery seeds showed good antioxidant activity at concentrations of 125g/L and 250g/L, respectively. In the range of 25-100 μg/mL, studies have shown that apigenin (API) can effectively scavenge DPPH free radicals and hydroxyl radicals (HO·), inhibit the degree of DNA damage caused by HO·, and delay the time of damage. In addition, celery seeds are rich in selenium with strong antioxidant capacity, so celery seeds have the effect of delaying aging.
