Mint extract
Analgesic: Contains monoterpenes such as limonene and linalool that have been described as exerting their
action through sensitization and down-regulation of receptors in the nervous system and affecting the Na+ and/or Ca++ channels.
Antibacterial: Contains either components with a hydroxyl group (phenolic compounds such as carvacrol, eugenol, thymol, etc.), an ester group (geranyl acetate and bornyl acetate), terpene alcohols (geraniol, citronellol), ketones (carvone), aliphatic hydrocarbon, sesquiterpenes (limonene) or terpene-containing aldehydes (citronellal, neral and geranial). The proposed mechanism of action of these chemical components is by diffusion of the bacterial cell membranes, which increases permeability with leakage of vital intracellular components, finally leading to apoptosis.
Antioxidant: Contains components such as alkaloids, flavonoids and phenols (carvacrol, carvone, caryophyllene limonene, cineole and thymol). These chemical components are powerful free radical scavengers.
Supports circulation: Has a positive effect on circulation by preventing lipid peroxidation and haemolysis and
promoting the fluidity of erythrocytes.
Supports metabolism: Has a positive effect on fat and insulin metabolism (lower cholesterol, triglycerides, raised HDL, lower glucose levels, prevention of fat accumulation, etc.).
Supports digestion: Combats the growth of unwanted intestinal bacteria and promotes healthy fermentation.
Anti-inflammatory: Contains components such as terpinen-4-ol, eugenol, neral and geranial that have been reported to have an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the synthesis of certain inflammatory mediator
