caltrop medicinal properties
Control blood sugar Caltrop helps regulate blood glucose levels. It has been shown in recent studies that caltrop extract has the ability to lower blood glucose levels both in those who have high diabetes, but are not considered diabetic, and in people with diabetes.
increases libido Yes. In human research it has been shown that the use of abroijo contributes to an increase in libido. This effect is caused by the transient increase in testosterone levels.
Extends erection time The increase in erection time has been proven in research with humans and this effect is due to the vasodilator action of protodioscin. Also, protodioscin can slightly increase testosterone levels, which would help in this effect. However, the increase in testosterone levels was only evidenced in animal research. In humans there is still no evidence.
Increases fertility. Caltrop also stimulates sperm production (spermatogenesis) in men. In women it promotes the improvement of ovulation. These effects contribute to fertility.
Improved vaginal blood supply There are also animal studies showing that the vasodilatory action of protodioscin causes better blood supply to the vaginal canal in women.
Reduces the sensation of heat and night sweats in menopausal women The mechanism of action that causes reduced sensation of heat and night sweats (night sweats) in women during menopause is still unknown.
Reduces symptoms of premenstrual tension (PMS) The means by which caltrop use causes this effect are being studied.
Helps lower blood pressure This effect, observed in animal studies, occurs because protodioscin stimulates the production of nitric oxide, a substance that causes vasodilation.
Controls bad cholesterol (LDL) Animal research has also revealed that caltrop use also helps control cholesterol, however the mechanism responsible for this effect is not yet known. Furthermore, studies are needed to prove this effect in humans.
Prevents heart problems The saponins present in caltrop may help prevent premature death of cardiac cells. Prostodioscin inhibits a substance called angiotensin which, when elevated in the bloodstream, causes changes in blood pressure and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Increase in muscle mass and reduction in body fat indices. The gain in body mass in practitioners of physical activity has been observed in studies carried out in animals with mild muscle growth. In humans, this effect has not yet been proven. The decrease in the percentage of fat would occur as a consequence of the increase in muscle mass.
Reduced fluid retention. Thistle has a diuretic action, causing a reduction in water retention (swelling sensation).
