Scientific studies on the benefits of the Sidr fruit
- A 2008 study published in the Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics in mice indicated that Sidr fruit extract may lower blood sugar levels depending on the dose used. [3]
- A laboratory study published in the International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences in 2017 showed that Sidr fruit extract has an anti-bacterial effect such as: Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, and bacteria. Bacillus cereus, and the study did not find an anti-effect to Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, but it is still there. More studies are needed to prove these results. [4]
- A laboratory study published in the Journal of Biotechnology in 2012 showed that compounds in Sidr fruits, such as phenols, have the ability to reduce oxidation processes , in addition to having a large amount of electrons equivalent to free radicals. [5]
- A study on mice, published in the Journal of Biological in 2019, indicated that the Sidr fruit and leaf extract may relieve stomach ulcers and their effects in mice. [6]
