Two potent compounds are carnosol and carnosic acid, both of which are found in some herbs, including rosemary. This is why these two substances are considered to have great health benefits and therapeutic properties. In this article, we will learn more in detail what carnosol and carnosic acid are and how they can keep us healthy.
Carnosol and carnosic acid are both antioxidants, so they help protect our cells from damage inflicted by harmful molecules known as free radicals. Free radicals can make our cells age more quickly, and they can heighten our risk of developing diseases like cancer. Carnosol and carnosic acid can help keep our bodies healthy and working properly by neutralizing free radicals.
Carnosol and carnosic acid are also anti-inflammatory but these properties are in addition to their antioxidant activity. That’s because they may help lower inflammation in our bodies, which is a driver of many diseases like arthritis and heart disease. In lowering inflammation, carnosol and carnosic acid may help us stay healthy and prevent getting these conditions.
Recent studies have indicated that carnosol and carnosic acid might also have anti-cancer effects. These molecules have been demonstrated to arrest the proliferation of cancer cells and to trigger cell death in certain cancer types. Although additional work is required to confirm the impact of carnosol and carnosic acid on cancer, these results are encouraging and indicate that these compounds may be one day be used to battle the deadly disease.
In addition to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and possibly anti-cancer properties, carnosol and carnosic acid may have other health benefits. Studies indicate that they can help to boost memory and radio cognitive function, and that they could even help keep our brains safe from degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Quercetin, it seems, may activate pathways that help prevent obesity, diabetes and cancer (so does resveratrol).When we push for the full potential of carnosol and carnosic acid, it’s likely that we will find yet more ways that our little buddy can support us in staying health, and living happier, healthier lives.
