etlingera elatior ethanol extract

Etlingera elatior ethanol extract is a botanical extract derived from the fruit or flowers of Etlingera elatior (torch ginger), a plant widely used in traditional medicine and culinary applications. This extract contains active compounds such as vanillic acid and various phenolics and flavonoids, and exhibits significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential nephroprotective (kidney-protective) activity in animal models of diabetes and diabetic nephropathy[1]. In preclinical studies, the ethanol extract has been shown to reduce high blood glucose, creatinine, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels, suggesting an anti-hyperglycemic and anti-hypertensive effect, as well as the ability to mitigate kidney inflammation and oxidative stress[1]. The extract is not a registered pharmaceutical or medical product and is used primarily in research or as a dietary supplement.
