Cryptolepis Extract

Cryptolepis Benefits

Cryptolepis benefits include supporting the immune system against a wide range of diseases, including malaria, Lyme disease, and tick-borne bacterial infections. It supports the cardiovascular system and may defend against cholesterol plaque formation in the arteries, Cryptolepis has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, anti-diabetic properties, and anti-fungal properties.

Potential for Lyme Disease Support and Bartonella henselae Support

Cryptolepis extract has shown potential antibacterial activity against a broad spectrum of bacteria including Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease. In fact, it may be used as a herbal support during the treatment of tick-borne infections such as Lyme Borrelia burgdorferi and Bartonella henselae. Cryptolepine, the main alkaloid in the herb, has shown effective activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Another study reveals that the bioactive compounds may degrade DNA in Borrelia burgdorferi.

Cryptolepis may have an important supportive role in the need to develop novel treatment strategies against persister microcolonies of Borrelia burgdorferi. A 2020 study in Frontiers in Medicine involved the testing of a panel of botanical and natural products commonly used by Lyme disease patients. The scientists found Cryptolepis sanguinolenta to be highly active in vitro against both growing Borrelia burgdorferi and non-growing stationary phase Borrelia burgdorferi.

More About Cryptolepis

Cryptolepis sanguinolenta is a climbing shrub with thin, willowing stems that can snake along the ground for up to 30 feet, often twinning into other plants for support. The dried leaves, stems, and roots have a sweet fragrance. The stems contain a yellow-orange sap that becomes red upon drying. The sap is very bitter.
