1. Manage weight

• Inhibits fat synthesis: Reduces hepatic triglyceride accumulation by downregulating the expression of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and fatty acid synthase (FAS);
• Blocks fat absorption: Competitively combines with intestinal lipase to reduce dietary fat hydrolysis efficiency by 30%;
• Activate AMPK pathway: Promote skeletal muscle mitochondrial beta-oxidation, increasing 24-hour energy consumption by 15%.

 

2. Antioxidant and anti-aging

• The main component of lotus leaf is quercetin-3-glucuronide, whose free radical scavenging ability is 2.3 times that of vitamin C; in addition, there is also nuciferine-polyphenol complex.
• Lotus leaf extract can upregulate the Nrf2/ARE pathway and increase the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx);
• Inhibits UV-induced MMP-1 expression and protects collagen fiber structure.

 

3. Protect cardiovascular system

• Reduce serum total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C): accelerate reverse cholesterol transport by activating hepatic LDL receptor (LDLR) expression;
• Improve vascular endothelial function: promote nitric oxide (NO) synthesis and inhibit vascular smooth muscle cells.

 

4. Antibacterial and immunomodulation

(1) Broad-spectrum antibacterial properties:

• The MIC against drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is 64 μg/mL;
• Destroying Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm, combined with antibiotics can increase the sterilization efficiency by 5 times.

 

(2) Immune balancing effect:

• Lotus leaf extract inhibit excessive inflammation: downregulate the TLR4/MyD88 signaling pathway and reduce IL-6 and TNF-α levels;
• Enhance immune surveillance: Promote CD8+ T cell proliferation.
