Himalayan Nettle as a Candidate Ingredient for Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Applications-Phytochemical Analysis and In Vitro Bioassays.

, also known as Himalayan nettle, is a perennial herb used in Nepal to make fiber as well as in traditional medicine for the treatment of several diseases. To date, phytochemical studies and biological assays on this plant are scarce. Thus, in the present work, the extracts have been evaluated for their potential pharmaceutical, cosmetic and nutraceutical uses.

Cholesterol-Lowering Action of a Novel Nutraceutical Combination in Uremic Rats: Insights into the Molecular Mechanism in a Hepatoma Cell Line.

Appropriate nutraceutical combinations may represent a valid approach to prevent vascular calcification associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In the present study, we tested the effect of a new nutraceutical combination named RenaTris, containing MK-7, magnesium carbonate, and Sucrosomial Iron, on vascular calcification in uremic rats. Rats were randomly divided into three groups, control (high-phosphate diet), uremic (high-phosphate diet containing 0.
