Components
Phytosterols, which may act as antioxidants [1]
Linoleic acid, which may also as an antioxidant [1]
Oleic acid [1]
Palmitic and stearic acid [1]
Tocopherols, which may have antioxidant activity and act as a source
of vitamin E [1]
Beta-Carotene, which is a source of vitamin A [1]
Vitamin K [2]
Withanolides, which are a group of naturally occurring steroids that may have anti-inflammatory effects [2]
Mechanism of Action
Research suggests that the components inside goldenberries have antioxidant activity [1].
Animal studies show that goldenberries may also have an anti-inflammatory effect due to decreased inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-10, and IL-1B) and COX-2 transmission.
1) Protective Effects on the Liver and Kidneys
A study on rats found that goldenberry juice may protect the liver and kidneys against tissue scarring (also known as fibrosis) [6].
2) Protective Effects on the Lungs
In mice whose lungs are damaged by cigarette smoke, goldenberries decreased inflammatory cytokines (TNF-? and IL-6), and other inflammatory pathways (MCP-1 and ERK signaling) [7].
The same mouse study found that goldenberries may increase HO-1, an antioxidant enzyme, and Nrf2, a protein that helps release defense mechanisms against tissue damage [7].
3) Protective Effects on the Brain
A study of rat brain cells suggests that gooseberry juice may decrease tissue damage and neurotoxicity [8].
4) Protective Effects on the Eyes
Pterygium, also known as surfer’s eye, is a disease involving excessive growth on the cornea, which is linked to the growth of cells called fibroblasts. In a rabbit study, goldenberry juice helped prevent excessive eye tissue growth due to aging [9].
Other Effects
5) Anti-inflammatory Effects
The calyx of the goldenberry, or the outer protective casing it grows in, may have anti-inflammatory properties. In a study of rat colon cells, goldenberry extract decreased inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-10, and IL-1B) and COX-2 transmission [10].
6) Blood Sugar Lowering Effects
A guinea pig study found that goldenberry leaf supplementation may reduce blood sugar levels [11].
