- S. nigra contains polyphenols and anthacyanins.
o Polyphenols are associated with resistance to pathogens, and prevention of cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disease, and diabetes
o Anthacyanins elicit vasoprotective properties such as antioxidants, and are also anti-inflammatory, anti-atherogenic, and vasodialtory
· Other benefits of S. nigra: increase diuresis, enhance recovery against respiratory tract infections (see also clinical trials summary document), mediate neuropathic pain, alleviate headaches, hypolipidemic properties, protect against oxidative stress, mitigate risks associated with cardiovascular disease.
