Description |
Saponins, found in various plant sources, exhibit a wide range of potential health benefits, including cardiovascular protection, anticancer properties, blood glucose regulation, and oral health support. Additionally, their ecological roles highlight their significance in plant defense mechanisms and interactions between different plant species. It's important to note that while saponins offer potential advantages, individual responses and concentrations in different plant sources should be considered for optimal utilization and safety. |

1. Cardiovascular Health: Saponins are suggested to decrease blood lipids, contributing to cardiovascular health. They may lower the risk of certain cardiovascular conditions. 2. Anticancer Properties: Saponins have been studied for their potential in lowering cancer risks. Research suggests they may exhibit anti-cancer properties. 3. Blood Glucose Regulation: Known for their ability to lower blood glucose response, making them potentially beneficial for individuals managing diabetes. |
Saponins are a diverse group of compounds widely distributed in the plant kingdom, which are characterized by their structure containing a triterpene or steroid aglycone and one or more sugar chains.
Saponins are surface active sterol or triterpene glycosides. They occur in a large number and a wide variety of plants but only about 28 of these are regularly used as food by man.
