Neem leaf contains over 50 volatile oils, including terpenes, which are the source of its beneficial properties. Its capacity to absorb oxygen radicals (CARO or ORAC) is five times greater than that of blueberries, and 20 times greater than that of broccoli and grapefruit.
Neem was one of the most important plants in Ayurvedic medicine, with a history dating back thousands of years. Neem leaf is considered a panacea (cure-all) in India, with applications ranging from its use in anti-caries toothpaste to the treatment of serious bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections.
In studies conducted jointly by Howard University College of Medicine and the University of Nigeria, neem leaf has proved effective in the treatment of malaria, cancer and HIV. The compounds present in neem leaves are effective in preventing the adhesion of parasites, viruses and cancer cells to healthy tissue. Studies have also shown that neem leaves can increase CD4⁺ T-cell populations in AIDS patients.
Each New Roots Herbal Neem Leaf capsule is tested for identity, purity, and potency.
