5-deazaflavin is a chemical substance that belongs to the class of isoflavones, also known as 5-deoxyflavones. Desmodium Styracifolium (Desmodium Styracifolium) is the root, leaf and stem extract of the leguminous plant Cardamom (Desmodium gyrans DC.), which is a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine. Deazoflavin contains a variety of nutrients, such as flavonoids, triterpenoids, etc., and is widely used in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
5-deazaflavin is considered to have anti-aging potential because it is an important component in the NAD+ biosynthetic pathway. NAD+ plays an important role in cells, including regulating metabolism, maintaining energy balance, DNA repair and reducing oxidative stress, etc. Some studies suggest that 5-deazaflavin may be able to increase NAD+ levels, which could have anti-aging effects.
Deazoflavin has the following effects and functions:
1. Antioxidation: The flavonoids rich in denitroflavin are effective natural antioxidants, which can scavenge free radicals, reduce the damage caused by oxidative stress to the body, and thus have the effect of preventing various diseases.
2. Liver protection: deazoflavin can enhance the metabolic function of liver cells, promote liver cell regeneration, and reduce the level of serum transaminases to protect the liver.
3. Relieve symptoms of hepatitis: deazaflavin has a certain therapeutic effect on liver diseases such as hepatitis B and fatty liver disease, and can reduce inflammation and improve liver function.
4. Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial: Deazoflavin has antibacterial effect on some bacteria, fungi and viruses, and can regulate the body's immune system, enhance the body's defense ability, and have a certain inhibitory effect on inflammation.
