Wogonin
Scutellaria baicalensis
One of only three actives among fifty traditional herbs put through the same test — and the forty-seven failures are the reason the three are believable.
What the evidence shows
Every line below is carried on the blend page that makes the claim. Follow it to the pathway and its sources.
Wogonin, the flavone drawn from skullcap root, holds cultured cells at the checkpoint before division, turns down the inflammation switch, and lets the death program finish.
In diabetic mice and kidney cells it restores the autophagy that high blood sugar had shut down.
Wogonin reverses what whole-body radiation does to the rat brain: damage and inflammation markers down, glutathione, SOD, catalase and NRF2 back up, the visible injury with them.
Wogonin raised FGF21, a liver hormone that governs fat burning, and lowered triglycerides in mice made obese by diet.
In human cells, baicalein, the yellow flavone of Scutellaria root, halted abnormal bladder cells at two checkpoints, shut down their NF-kappaB survival signal and cut invasion.
