Supports emotional balance: The results of numerous studies show that Bupleurum chinense effectively reduces nervous tension and stabilizes mood. This effect is most likely caused by the active compounds that intensify the activity of serotonin (commonly known as a “happiness hormone”) and dopamine, stimulating these parts of the brain that are responsible for emotions and well-being. Extract from Pueraria montana is also beneficial for the condition of the body. It can inhibit enzymatic degradation of serotonin and dopamine, so these neurotransmitters can affect the nervous system with better effects. In addition to that, kudzu stimulates the activity of GABA – the main inhibitory neurotransmitter that influences stress resilience and regulates intensity of nervous agitation. The traditional mood-improving properties of kudzu have been used to support people struggling with substance abuse. It is worth emphasizing that in this combination both herbs might be useful for women dealing with possible unpleasant consequences of PMS or menopause. As studies suggest, Bupleurum helps to mitigate mood swings, while kudzu makes it easier to regain hormonal balance with a good mental and physical condition.

Supports detoxification: In traditional medicine of the Far East, since time immemorial the root of kudzu has been used to maintain abstinence and alleviate the symptoms of excessive alcohol consumption. On one hand, the active compounds of Pueraria montana inhibit the activity of the reward system in response to alcohol, so using this stimulating substance does not offer as much satisfaction as it could before. On the other hand, isoflavonoids contained in kudzu reduce the release of enzymes that participate in the metabolism of alcohol. In effect, symptoms of intoxication are increased, so heavy drinking is burdened with more severe consequences. There are studies showing that this is quite an effective mechanism to discourage from reaching for alcohol. Because of that, kudzu might be a valuable support in fighting addictions, which is even more important considering this herb has a positive effect on the liver. Bupleurum chinense also has been found to protect liver cells from harmful compounds and thus support its proper functioning. All these properties make this synergistic formula a great choice for detoxification.

Strengthens natural immunity: Both Pueraria montana and Bupleurum chinense are an efficient support for the immune system. Studies show that active compounds of kudzu exhibit immunomodulating properties. They regulate intensity of immune response, stimulating production of white blood cells that are crucial for major defense systems of the body. Simultaneously, thay reduce stimulation of this system when immune response is not necessary. That way, they prevent excessive spread of inflammation and help to maintain homeostasis of the organism. Efficacy of Bupleurum against pathogens has been confirmed by research studies. Their results show that this Chinese herb contains active substances capable of destroying certain types of bacteria and reducing development of viruses, including HBV and selected coronavirus strains. Besides that, Bupleurum supports anti-inflammatory properties of kudzu, yet it is worth noting that its mechanism may be even similar to NSAIDs.
