A recent scientific study has shown that the “Ghasoul” or Hippophae plant significantly supports the health of several systems in the body, from the liver to the brain.
Research conducted during the study showed that the fruits, seeds, and leaves of this plant are rich in flavonoids, vitamins, carotenoids, and beneficial fatty acids, substances that help reduce inflammation, protect cells from damage, and boost the immune system.
Experiments have also shown that the substances found in this plant improve liver function, lower blood cholesterol levels, and support cardiovascular health.
Researchers also noted particular benefits of the "Ghasoul" plant for digestive health, as the polysaccharides it contains improve the gut microbiome, enhance its protective functions, and help regulate metabolism. In addition, positive effects of extracts from this plant on brain health were observed, including reducing inflammation and supporting cognitive functions.
Scientists noted that “ghassoul” is widely used in food products, cosmetics and dietary supplements thanks to its composition rich in beneficial substances; however, more clinical studies are needed to definitively confirm its effects.
Some laboratory studies have shown that the fruit of this plant has promising anti-cancer effects, particularly against breast, liver, and cervical cancers. It may even restore appetite and counteract the side effects of chemotherapy.
