Used in biochemical and pharmacological research for its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It supports the development of treatments for chronic diseases linked to oxidative stress, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. Studies also assess its antimicrobial and anticancer effects at the cellular level, which may lead to the discovery of new natural bioactive compounds in the future. Preliminary research suggests applications in skincare for protecting against oxidative damage and promoting skin health, though commercial use is limited.
