peanut skin extract

Peanut skin extract is a natural product derived from the outer skins of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea). It is rich in bioactive phytochemicals including flavonoids, stilbenes (such as resveratrol), and other phenolic compounds. Traditionally used in Chinese medicine for conditions like chronic hemorrhages and bronchitis, modern research has demonstrated that extracts from peanut skins possess a range of pharmacological activities. These include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral (notably against influenza viruses), antifungal, antitumor/anticancer, cardioprotective, and antidiabetic effects. The mechanisms are attributed to the modulation of oxidative stress pathways and inhibition of viral replication among others. Peanut skin extracts have shown potential as functional food ingredients or dietary supplements for managing hyperglycemia and supporting metabolic health[2][3][4][5][6].
