Neo's Boldo food supplement is a product composed mainly of boldo extract, a tree native to Chile with evergreen leaves from which its medicinal properties are extracted. Among the effects this supplement can have on the body are as an aperitif, choleretic, cholagogue, hepatoprotective, antioxidant, anti-atheromatous, hypoglycaemic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, anthelmintic, fungicidal and cytoprotective.
Most of the benefits of boldo extract act directly on the digestive system. For this reason, it is recommended for use to help relieve stomach upset, dyspepsia and mild gastrointestinal disorders. It is also recommended for use in cases of minor hepatobiliary dysfunction or to serve as a natural adjuvant in cases of constipation.
The boldo leaf on which the supplement is based has an excellent range of nutrients. These include the following:
Isoquinolefinic alkaloids derived from aporphine and noraporphine, a total of more than 20 of which are boldine, isoboldine, reticuline, laurotetaine and laurolitsine. They have several functions, including serving as an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. More specifically, boldine will help stimulate the gallbladder to function fully.
Essential oil composed of oxygenated monoterpenes and monoterpene hydrocarbons.
Flavonoids with antioxidant effects useful for maintaining a healthy digestive system. Among those found in boldo are ramnetol, isorramnetol and kempferol.
