The biochemical properties of raspberry leaf tea and its effects on the female reproductive system🌸🌿

Abstract

Raspberry leaf tea, derived from the leaves of Rubus idaeus, has been traditionally used to support female reproductive health. This article delves into the biochemical properties of raspberry leaves, focusing on their potential mechanisms of action within the female reproductive system. We explore the active compounds, their pharmacodynamics, optimal timing for consumption during the menstrual cycle, recommended dosages, and duration of use.

Introduction

Raspberry leaf tea is widely regarded in herbal medicine for its benefits on the female reproductive system. The leaves are rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids, which are believed to positively influence uterine function, hormone regulation, and menstrual health.

Biochemical composition of raspberry leaves

The leaves of Rubus idaeus contain a variety of active compounds:

Flavonoids: including quercetin and kaempferol, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and estrogenic properties.

Tannins: primarily ellagitannins, contributing to the astringent and tonifying effects on the uterus.

Alkaloids: fragrine, known for enhancing uterine muscle tone.

Vitamins and minerals: Rich in vitamins A, C, E, and B-complex, along with minerals like calcium and magnesium that are crucial for reproductive health.

Mechanisms of action

Uterine tonification

Fragrine, an alkaloid found in raspberry leaves, enhances uterine muscle tone by modulating calcium channels in the myometrium. This action promotes mild contractions, which may prepare the uterus for labor and potentially reduce postpartum hemorrhage by improving uterine strength.

Hormonal regulation

The flavonoids quercetin and kaempferol exhibit estrogenic activity by interacting with estrogen receptors. These compounds may modulate the menstrual cycle and alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) by balancing estrogen levels. Additionally, their antioxidant effects help reduce oxidative stress, a contributor to reproductive disorders.

Menstrual cycle modulation

Tannins in raspberry leaves provide astringent effects that can regulate heavy menstrual bleeding by promoting vascular constriction and reducing capillary permeability. The anti-inflammatory properties of flavonoids also help alleviate dysmenorrhea by reducing prostaglandin synthesis, which is responsible for menstrual pain.

Antioxidant protection

Raspberry leaves are rich in antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, which protect reproductive tissues from oxidative damage, potentially mitigating conditions like endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Optimal timing and dosage

Phase of the menstrual cycle

Raspberry leaf tea is most beneficial when consumed during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (from ovulation to the start of menstruation). During this phase, the uterine lining is preparing for potential pregnancy, and the tonifying effects of raspberry leaves can support uterine strength and reduce PMS symptoms.

Additionally, raspberry leaf tea is commonly recommended during the third trimester of pregnancy to help prepare the uterus for labor.

Recommended dosage

The typical dosage is 1-2 cups of raspberry leaf tea per day. Each cup is made by steeping 1-2 teaspoons of dried raspberry leaves in 250 ml (about 8 ounces) of boiling water for 10-15 minutes.

Duration of use

For menstrual health: begin drinking raspberry leaf tea from the day of ovulation and continue until the start of menstruation. This typically lasts for about 10-14 days per cycle.

For pregnancy: start drinking 1 cup daily from the 32nd week of pregnancy, gradually increasing to 2-3 cups daily as the due date approaches. Continue until childbirth.

Potential clinical applications

Pregnancy support

Raspberry leaf tea is recommended during the later stages of pregnancy to strengthen uterine muscles, potentially leading to more efficient contractions and shorter labor.

Menstrual regulation

For women experiencing irregular or heavy menstrual cycles, raspberry leaf tea can help regulate the cycle, reduce menstrual flow, and alleviate PMS symptoms.

Postpartum recovery

The tea can support postpartum recovery by promoting uterine involution and reducing the risk of hemorrhage. Its nutrient content also aids in replenishing vitamins and minerals lost during childbirth.

Sentimen Publik : Antara Konsumsi Mie Instan atau Inovasi Mie Organik

Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara dengan tingkat konsumsi tertinggi urutan kedua setelah negara Cina berkisar 13,270 juta bungkus atau setara 92,4% dari total penduduk di Indonesia (Sindi, 2022).

"Konsumsi mie instan lebih baik tidak lebih dari dua bungkus dalam satu minggu dan tidak dijadikan kebiasaan rutin. Bila ingin mengkonsumsi mie instan sebaiknya diberikan tambahan sayur dan protein seperti telur, ayam, daging serta sumber protein lain. Tidak dianjurkan konsumsi mie instan sebagai lauk atau dimakan hanya dengan nasi karena hanya mengandung karbohidrat saja," pungkas Tri Kurniawati selaku Ahli Gizi Universitas Muhammadiyah Surabaya.

"Cara masaknya yang sangat mudah, punya banyak varian rasa, mudah dikreasikan menjadi aneka macam makanan," tutur Samuel.

" Harganya murah meriah, mudah didapatkan dimana-mana. Entah itu di warung dekat rumah hingga supermarket," tambahnya.

Namun, berdasarkan Data kandungan gizi pada salah satu merek mie instan di Indonesia didapatkan hasil bahwa: dalam satu bungkus mie instan ukuran umum (85 gram) mengandung kalori sebesar 380 kkal, 49 gram karbohidrat, 4 gram gula, 7 gram serat, 8 gram protein, dan 21 gram lemak. Sedangkan untuk ukuran mie instan ukuran jumbo (129 gram) didapatkan hasil berupa kandungan : 560 kalori, 80 gram karbohidrat, 13 gram gula, 3 gram serat, 13 gram protein dan 21 gram lemak. Beberapa komponen vitamin dan mineral yang ada meliputo Vitamin A (50%), Vitamin B1 (50%), Vitamin B6 (25%), Vitamin B12 (20%) dan natrium (970 mg) (Zahra et al., 2023).

Menurut Zahra et al., 2023, konsumsi mie instan melebihi batas konsumsi dapat menimbulkan gangguan kesehatan yang bervariasi sekaligus kelainan fungsi. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kandungan karbohidrat sederhana, lemak dan natrium yang tinggi. Beberapa gangguan kesehatan yang dapat ditimbulkan dari pola konsumsi mie instan secara berlebihan yaitu:

a. gangguan pencernaan, mie instan termasuk jenis makanan yang sulit untuk dicerna oleh tubuh sehingga dapat membuat sistem kerja pada saluran cerna bekerja lebih berat.

b. gangguan ginjal, adanya penumpukan natrium dan cairan dalam tubuh dapat menyebabkan terganggunya fungsi ginjal.

c. obesitas, adanya kandungan kalori yang tinggi mengakibatkan berat badan naik dengan mudah.

d. tekanan darah tinggi, tingginya kandungan natrium dalam garam pada 1 kemasan mie instan dapat menyebabkan tekanan darah meningkat dan risiko kardiovaskular. Selain itu, konsumsi natrium per hari tidak boleh lebih dari 2.000-2.400 atau setara dengan 5-6 gram garam.

e. sindrom metabolik, terjadi ketika tubuh terbiasa menerima makanan instan dan kurang menerima sayuran dapat menyebabkan gejala penumpukan lemak pada perut, hipertensi, gula darah tinggi hingga kadar lipid yang tidak normal.

Sumber : Zahra et al., 2023.

Berbicara mengenai inovasi pangan berkelanjutan, mie instan menjadi salah satu produk pangan yang disoroti banyak kalangan untuk dilakukan inovasi melalui fortifikasi. Penambahan bahan dalam inovasi tersebut dapat berupa sayuran, buah-buahan maupun limbah steril dengan nilai gizi yang cukup tinggi. Salah satu inovasi mie organik yang sudah ada di Indonesia adalah mie organik daun kelor dari Desa Buahan.

Mie Kelor Desa Buahan adalah salah satu produk inovatif yang kaya akan nutrisi dan manfaat kesehatan. Daun kelor dikenal tinggi vitamin A dan berbagai nutrisi lainnya. Mengolah kelor menjadi mie tidak hanya menawarkan cita rasa yang unik dan lezat tetapi juga memberikan pilihan makanan yang sehat bagi masyarakat," ujar Bupati Sanjaya.

Menurut penelitian Adi et al., 2019, produk mie daun kelor terbukti mengandung vitamin A lebih tinggi dibandingkan produk mie biasa sehingga dapat memenuhi kebutuhan vitamin A harian anak, mengandung vitamin C dibandingkan produk mie biasa yang tidak mengandung vitamin C, mengandung senyawa bioaktif flavonoid berupa myrecyetin, quercetin dan kaempferol sebagai antioksidan.

Potensi pengembangan mie organik daun kelor memiliki nilai ekonomis dengan cara pemasaran yang beragam salah satunya melalui usaha warung makan.

"Untuk rasanya ini benar-benar enak, ditambah kelornya cukup berasa dan jika dimakan mienya saja sudah enak menurut saya," kata seorang pelanggan Satrio.

Selain itu, penggantian substitusi tepung dengan tepung non gluten dapat menjadi salah satu keunggulan mie organik daun kelor. Namun, salah satu kelemahan mie organik terutama mie organik daun kelor adalah harganya yang relatif dua kali lipat dari harga mie instan di pasar.

Jadi, kalian lebih suka mie yang mana nih? Mie instan dengan harga ramah di kantong atau mie organik demi kesehatan? Yuk, mulai sayangi kesehatan tubuh dimulai dari diri sendiri. Love your self❤

6. Menjaga Kesehatan Jantung

Mengonsumsi buah mangga dapat menjaga kesehatan jantung. Alasannya, mangga mengandung magnesium dan potasium, yang dapat membantu menjaga aliran darah tetap sehat.

Nutrisi ini sekaligus membantu pembuluh darah tetap rileks dan menstabilkan tekanan darah. Mangiferin sebagai antioksidan dari mangga juga baik untuk kesehatan jantung.  

Mangiferin dapat melindungi sel-sel jantung dari peradangan, stres oksidatif, dan kematian sel. Selain itu, mangiferin juga dapat membantu menurunkan kadar kolesterol, trigliserida, dan asam lemak dalam darah. 

7. Berpotensi Menjaga Kesehatan Mata

Mangga penuh dengan nutrisi yang membantu mendukung kesehatan mata. Sebab, selain polifenol, mangga juga memiliki kandungan antioksidan lutein dan zeaxanthin.

Di dalam retina, lutein dan zeaxanthin bertindak sebagai tabir surya alami, menyerap cahaya berlebih. Selain itu, produk ini tampaknya melindungi mata dari radiasi blue light atau cahaya biru yang berbahaya.

Mangga juga merupakan sumber vitamin A yang baik, yang mendukung kesehatan mata. Kurangnya asupan vitamin A telah berkaitan dengan mata kering dan kebutaan malam hari.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Rosemary Polyphenols

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of diseases such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), IBD-related colon cancer, and diabetes. Polyphenols, particularly those from Rosmarinus officinalis L. (rosemary), are known for their diverse biological activities, including antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects.

Key Molecules

1. Rosmarinic Acid: The primary phenolic compound in rosemary, noted for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

2. Caffeic Acid: Another major phenol that contributes to reducing inflammation and protecting the gastrointestinal tract.

3. Carnosic Acid and Carnosol: Phenolic diterpenes that inhibit inflammatory pathways and reduce the production of inflammatory cytokines.

4. Flavonoids (Quercetin, Kaempferol): These compounds have antioxidant effects and modulate the inflammatory response.

Mechanisms of Action

- Inflammation Suppression: Rosemary polyphenols reduce inflammatory cell infiltration and block inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-κB and NLRP3.

- Gut Microbiota Modulation: They promote the growth of beneficial probiotics and decrease pathogenic bacteria, improving gut microbiota composition and intestinal health.

- Improvement of Gut Barrier Function: They increase mucus secretion and strengthen tight junctions, contributing to a healthier intestinal barrier.

Therapeutic Potential

Due to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, rosemary polyphenols hold promise for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases and related disorders. Their ability to modulate the inflammatory response and improve gut health positions rosemary as a promising candidate for new therapeutic approaches.

Exploring American Elderberry Compounds for Antioxidant, Antiviral, and Antibacterial Properties Through High-Throughput Screening Assays Combined with Untargeted Metabolomics

American elderberry (Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis) is a rapidly emerging new perennial crop for Missouri, recognized for its high level of bioactive compounds with significant health benefits, including antimicrobial, antiviral, and antioxidant properties. A high-throughput screening assay combined with untargeted metabolomics analysis was utilized on American elderberry juice from 21 genotypes to explore and characterize these bioactive compounds. Our metabolomics study has identified 32 putative bioactive compounds in the American Elderberry juices. An array of high-throughput screening bioassays evaluated 1) total antioxidant capacity, 2) activation of antioxidant response elements (ARE), 3) antiviral activity, and 4) antibacterial activity of the putatively identified compounds. Our results revealed that 14 of the 32 American elderberry compounds exhibited strong antioxidant activity. Four compounds (isorhamnetin 3-O-glucoside, kaempferol, quercetin, and naringenin) activated ARE activity and were found to be non-cytotoxic to cells. Notably, six of the 32 compounds demonstrated significant antiviral activity in an in vitro TZM-bl assay against two strains of HIV-1 virus, CXCR4-dependent NL4-3 virus and CCR5-dependent BaL virus. Luteolin showed the most potent anti-HIV activity in an in vitro TZM-bl assay against the NL4-3 virus (IC50 = 1.49 microM), followed by isorhamnetin (IC50 = 1.67 microM). The most potent anti-HIV compound against the BaL virus was myricetin (IC50 = 1.14 microM), followed by luteolin (IC50 = 4.38 microM). Additionally, six compounds were found to have antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria S. aureus, with cyanidin 3-O-rutinoside having the most potent antibacterial activity in vitro (IC50 = 2.9 microM), followed by cyanidin 3-O-glucoside (IC50 = 3.7 microM). These findings support and validate the potential health benefits of compounds found in American elderberry juices, and highlight their potential for use in dietary supplements as well as innovative applications in health and medicine. http://dlvr.it/TDFrpc
