Sesame Extract Sesamin Powder

Sesame extract is derived from sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum) and is rich in bioactive compounds such as sesamin, sesamol, sesamolin, vitamin E, lignans, and unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., linoleic acid and oleic acid). These components give sesame extract a wide range of health benefits and applications.

Key Benefits of Sesame Extract

1. Antioxidant Properties 

   • Sesame extract contains sesamin, sesamol, and vitamin E, which have potent antioxidant effects. They help neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and protect cells from damage.

   • Contributes to anti-aging and improves skin health.

2. Anti-Inflammatory Effects

   • The lignans in sesame extract exhibit anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators, helping to alleviate chronic inflammation.

   • May support the management of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and cardiovascular diseases.

3. Cholesterol and Lipid Regulation

   • The unsaturated fatty acids and lignans in sesame extract help regulate lipid levels by reducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL, "bad cholesterol") and increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL, "good cholesterol").

   • Supports the prevention of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.

4. Liver Protection

   • Sesamin and sesamol enhance liver detoxification, reduce lipid peroxidation, and protect liver cells from damage.

   • May benefit individuals with alcoholic liver disease or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

5. Blood Pressure Regulation

   • Active compounds in sesame extract promote vasodilation and improve blood circulation, helping to regulate blood pressure.

   • May assist in managing hypertension.

6. Immune System Support

   • The antioxidant components and vitamin E in sesame extract enhance immune cell function and boost overall immunity.

7. Skin Health

   • The antioxidants and fatty acids in sesame extract help moisturize, repair the skin barrier, and reduce UV-induced damage.

   • Commonly used in skincare products to improve skin elasticity and radiance.

8. Anti-Cancer Potential
