Researchers at the University of Cologne found that Cnicin, derived from the medical plant blessed thistle, speeds up nerve regrowth significantly, providing a prospective brand-new treatment for nerve damage that can be taken orally. Just recently, researchers at the Center for Pharmacology of University Hospital Cologne and the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Cologne, led by Dr. Philipp Gobrecht and Professor Dr. Dietmar Fischer, have actually found a totally brand-new application for its active part, Cnicin.Animal models as well as human cells have actually shown that Cnicin significantly accelerates axon (nerve fibers) growth. Administering an everyday dosage of Cnicin to mice or rats helped improve paralysis and neuropathy much more quickly.Compared to other substances, Cnicin has one crucial benefit: it can be presented into the bloodstream orally (by mouth).
