What is Pileje Orthosiphon EPS used for?
Pileje Orthosiphon EPS is a dietary supplement renowned for its multiple benefits for the kidneys and urinary tract. Orthosiphon's mechanism of action is still only partially understood, but its diuretic virtues are widely recognized. Rich in flavonoids such as sinensenetin and eupatorin, as well as caffeic acid derivatives such as rosmarinic acid, orthosiphon promotes an increase in urinary volume. This phenomenon could play a crucial role in preventing urinary tract infections by limiting bacterial adherence to urinary tract walls, and in preventing the formation of kidney stones in periods of remission.
In the case of kidney stones, Orthosiphon's diuretic action helps dissolve uric acid crystals. A 2003 study showed that orthosiphon increases diuresis, promoting theelimination of Na+ and Cl- ions while preserving potassium, which is particularly beneficial for the kidneys. Research has also shown that orthosiphon is effective in preventing the formation of new stones and facilitating the elimination of toxins and waste from the body.
In addition to its effects on the kidneys, orthosiphon has choleretic and cholagogic properties which stimulate the production and evacuation of bile, thus benefiting the hepatobiliary system. The ursolic and oleanolic acids contained in the plant inhibit the binding of TGF-β1 to its receptors, suggesting a possible use for orthosiphon in the treatment of chronic kidney disease. This mechanism may also help to reduce uraemia and increase glomerular filtration, thereby strengthening overall renal health.
In addition to its diuretic and hepatobiliary properties, orthosiphon has interesting effects on metabolism. It has hypoglycemic properties thanks to its inhibitory action on α-glucosidase and α-amylase, making it potentially useful in the management of type 2 diabetes. Its ability to mobilize fat out of cells makes it an ally of choice for those seeking to lose weight or maintain a balanced diet.
Orthosiphon's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects are also worthy of note. The plant's orthosiphols and diterpenes inhibit the production of nitric oxide, a mediator of inflammation, providing a natural analgesic action. Orthosiphon's flavonoids possess antioxidant power comparable to that of quercetin, protecting cells against oxidative stress and boostingimmunity. These antioxidant properties are crucial for preventing various chronic diseases and maintaining optimal health.
Last but not least, orthosiphon shows interesting anti-infectious activity, particularly against bacteria responsible for urinary tract infections, such as Escherichia coli. The combined effect of its diuretic and anti-adhesive properties makes it a major asset in the prevention of frequent urinary tract infections.
