Goosegrass Vine Syrup contains a rich array of bioactive compounds, including flavonoids and saponins, which primarily exert potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. These compounds neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and modulate inflammatory pathways, contributing to cellular protection and overall well-being.
Reported Benefits (Provisional)
Origin & History
Goosegrass Vine Syrup (Eleusine indica) is an herbal extract derived from goosegrass, a resilient plant native to tropical and subtropical regions across Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Thriving in diverse environments, it is recognized in functional nutrition for its traditional uses in supporting digestive and skin health.
Research Narrative (Provisional)
Preliminary research, including in vitro and animal studies, suggests Goosegrass Vine's potential for digestive health, skin hydration, and anti-inflammatory benefits. Further human clinical trials are needed to substantiate these traditional applications.

Nutritional Profile
- Vitamins: Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E - Minerals: Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium - Bioactives: Flavonoids, Saponins (antioxidants, anti-inflammatory)
Reported Mechanism (Provisional)
Goosegrass Vine's primary mechanism involves its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, largely attributed to flavonoids like quercetin and kaempferol, and other phenolics. As an antioxidant, it scavenges various free radicals such as DPPH and ABTS, chelates metal ions, and enhances endogenous antioxidant enzyme activities like SOD, CAT, and GPx. Its anti-inflammatory action includes inhibiting key pathways such as COX-2, iNOS, and NF-kB, thereby decreasing the production of pro-inflammatory mediators like TNF-α, IL-6, and nitric oxide.
Clinical Narrative (Provisional)
Preliminary research on Goosegrass Vine (Eleusine indica) consists primarily of in vitro and animal studies, demonstrating antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and hepatoprotective effects of its extracts. These studies suggest potential benefits for digestive health and in reducing oxidative stress, as indicated by improved gut motility and reduced inflammatory markers in animal models. However, there is a current lack of human clinical trials to substantiate these traditional applications or to establish efficacy and safety in human populations. Therefore, further human research is crucial to validate these promising preliminary findings.
