Science behind leviathan reloaded

bg5757 · 02-19-2008, 11:23 PM

I'm interested in giving leviathan a try based on all the good feedback. However, when it comes to new/unknown ingredients (at least to me) like there are in leviathan, i like to check out the research/science behind these ingredients on Pubmed.

It is proving to be pretty difficult finding abstracts and research on the compounds that are unknown to me. In particular: Acacia Rigidula; Phyllanthus Niruri; Ficus Bengalensis Extract; 3,3'-Diindolylmethane

So would anyone happen to have some links or references regarding these compounds? Especially PAL reps? Thanks.

Diuretic, hypotensive and hypoglycaemic effects of Phyllanthus amarus (syn. Phyllanthus niruri) on human subjects were assessed. Nine mild hypertensives (four of them also suffering from diabetes mellitus) were treated with a preparation of the whole plant of P. amarus for 10 days. Suitable parameters were studied in the blood and urine samples of the subjects, along with physiological profile and dietary pattern before and after the treatment period. Significant increase in 24 hr urine volume, urine and serum Na levels was observed. A significant reduction in systolic blood pressure in non-diabetic hypertensives and female subjects was noted. Blood glucose was also significantly reduced in the treated group. Clinical observations revealed no harmful side effects. These observations indicate that P. amarus is a potential diuretic, hypotensive and hypoglycaemic drug for humans.

There are about 10 or 12 studies on the efficacy of Ficus Bengakensis' in balancing blood sugar, you can read them yourself http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez
