Ashitaba — A Most Powerful yet Unknown Herb
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Native to Japan, ashitaba (Angelica keiskei koidzumi) is a bitter leafy herb of the Angelica genus, closely related to the carrot. It’s also known as "tomorrow's leaf," due to its rapid growth and regenerative abilities
In China and Japan, ashitaba has been used medicinally for hundreds of years as a general health promoter and antiaging remedy
Recent research shows ashitaba is a potent inducer of autophagy, capable of increasing the life span of nematodes and fruit flies by 20%
The flavonoid responsible for ashitaba’s antiaging effects is 4,4′-dimethoxychalcone (DMC). Of 180 plant flavonoids screened using three different assays, DMC offered the strongest cellular protection
DMC was also found to protect against liver damage caused by excess alcohol consumption in animals, and inhibited the proliferation of certain human cancer cells
