What is Asparagus Extract?

Asparagus is a plant. The newly formed shoots (spears), root, and “underground stems” (rhizomes) are used to make medicine.

Asparagus extract is a natural remedy sourced from the spears, root, and rhizomes (the "underground stem") of the asparagus plant. Asparagus extract is used in alternative and Ayurvedic medicine to treat health problems affecting the urinary tract and other organ systems, including conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

Sold mainly in capsule form, asparagus officinalis stem extract is also available in tea bags, liquid tinctures, and crystallized powders.

Asparagus Extract Benefits

1.High Cholesterol

A number of studies have concluded that asparagus extract may help reduce cholesterol levels that contribute to heart disease,According to a 2011 study published in Phytotherapy Research, mice fed a high-fat diet supplemented with asparagus extract experienced a significant decrease in LDL ("bad") cholesterol and an increase in HDL ("good") cholesterol after eight weeks.

The effect was attributed to a substance called n-butanol, which the researchers say improves liver function and increases the organ's ability to produce and clear cholesterol. Further research is needed to see if similar results can be achieved in humans.

2.Diabetes

Asparagus extract may help fight diabetes, suggests a 2012 study from the British Journal of Nutrition. In tests conducted on rats with chemically induced diabetes, scientists found that asparagus extract helped normalize blood glucose levels and improve insulin secretion. Higher doses conferred better results. The effect was attributed in part to the trace element chromium which insulin uses to transport glucose through the body. Human research is needed to further support this effect.

3.Stress

Asparagus officinalis stem extract may help relieve symptoms of stress, suggests a 2014 study in the Journal of Food Science. According to the investigators, mice subjected to sleep deprivation had normal levels of stress biomarkers (such as cortisol and lipid peroxide) in their blood after having been given asparagus extract. Untreated mice showed high elevations of all of these biomarkers.

The scientists also tested the extract on a small group of humans who were given a daily 150-milligram (mg) dose for seven days. At the end of the trial period, the subjects experienced significant increases in a protein called HSP70, which tempers the effect of cortisol and other stress hormones.

By doing so, asparagus officinalis extract may help mitigate the physiological impact of stress, such as high blood pressure, fatigue, and mental "fog." The study does not, however, suggest that it can either reduce stress or deliver "calming" psychoactive effects. Further research is needed.
