Scientific Mechanism

The primary active compound in Pilocarpus microphyllus Leaf Extract is pilocarpine, an alkaloid that acts as a parasympathomimetic agent. At the cellular level, it functions as a muscarinic receptor agonist. This means it binds to specific receptors on the surface of cells, particularly in exocrine glands (like salivary and sweat glands) and smooth muscle tissue. By stimulating these receptors, it triggers a cascade of intracellular events that increase glandular secretion and cause muscle contraction. This mechanism mimics the body's natural 'rest and digest' nervous system response, influencing fluid balance and muscular activity.

Key Benefits

Key benefits include:

• Supports healthy sweating (diaphoretic action)
• Promotes increased salivation and digestive fluids
• May assist with respiratory mucus clearance
• Traditionally used for hair and scalp health (topical application)

Usage & Safety

Dosage: The standard serving size is 0.7 mL. It is best taken diluted in a small amount of water, usually 2-3 times daily, unless directed otherwise by a healthcare provider. Timing: Take between meals to maximize absorption and minimize stomach upset. Safety: This is a potent herbal extract. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Because it affects the nervous system, it may impair your ability to drive or operate machinery. Consult your physician before use, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have heart or respiratory conditions. Keep out of reach of children.
