Activates AMPK signalling, inhibits NF-κB-mediated inflammatory pathways, and exhibits antioxidant activity via direct radical scavenging; unique to Aspalathus linearis. Also modulates glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells via GLUT4 translocation.
Research Notes
RooibosAfrican
Preclinical studies demonstrate significant antidiabetic and cardioprotective effects, including reduced fasting blood glucose and improved insulin sensitivity in murine models. Human clinical data remain limited, but aspalathin is considered the primary bioactive responsible for rooibos's metabolic benefits.
