15 Potential Thunder God Vine Benefits
Its active components block NF-kB and other inflammatory pathways in the body [14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23].
This herb reduces:
Cytokines (such as TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-18, and IFN-gamma) [24, 25, 26, 20, 27, 28]
Inflammatory messengers (NO, prostaglandins, free radicals) [29, 30, 23, 28]
Enzymes that trigger and sustain inflammation (such as iNOS, COX-2, MMP1, MMP3, MMP-13, and ICAM-1) [31, 29, 32, 33, 34, 22, 23].
It suppresses the immune system by reducing the activation of autoimmune-related cells (Th17, dendritic cells, neutrophils, and macrophages). It even causes some of these cells to die and prevents them from reaching sites of inflammation in the body [35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41].
This may be the ticket to silence the Cytokine storm expected in the VAXED.
