Factory Supply Natural Herbal Supplement Ingredient Lemon Balm Extract Powder

Lemon balm extract is derived from the leaves of Melissa officinalis L., a perennial herb in the mint family (Lamiaceae). It has a long history of use in European traditional medicine and cuisine, and is characterized by a distinctive lemon-like aroma.

Traditional and Research-Supported Uses
Recognized traditional uses (as acknowledged by health authorities such as Health Canada) include helping to relieve restlessness and nervousness (thereby promoting sleep) and easing symptoms of mild digestive disturbances such as bloating and flatulence.

Modern research has investigated several potential activities, though much of the evidence comes from preclinical studies:

Anxiety and sleep: A pilot trial on individuals with mild-to-moderate anxiety and sleep disturbances examined the effects of a lemon balm leaf extract.

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects: Animal studies have shown that lemon balm extract can reduce oxidative stress markers and inflammatory mediators (such as IL-4, IL-17, and IgE) in a rat model of allergic asthma. In vitro research on microglial cells suggests it may modulate neuroinflammatory pathways.

Neuroprotection (preliminary): In vitro studies indicate that rosemary acid, a primary polyphenol in lemon balm, may inhibit the formation of beta-amyloid fibrils, which is relevant to Alzheimer's disease research.
