Anti-aging magic medicine! Hydrangea leaf extract improves skin

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial from South Korea showed that oral intake of hot water extract of Hydrangea macrophylla leaves can improve wrinkles, moisturization, skin elasticity and texture.

Data published in the Nutrients magazine show that compared with the placebo group, taking 300/600 mg of hydrangea extract daily for 12 consecutive months can significantly improve skin wrinkles, skin moisture and skin texture.

In addition, at the end of the three-month dry period, there was a statistically significant improvement in skin elasticity compared to placebo.

The researchers said: "Our randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study shows that oral WHS (hot water extract of Hydrangea macrophylla) supplements bring significant anti-aging effects. Therefore, WHS is expected to be a dietary supplement , To prevent skin aging by adjusting systemic factors that affect the appearance of the skin. "

Researchers say that in South Korean, Chinese and Japanese cultures, coarse-toothed hydrangea leaves have been used as tea and medicine. Products with hydrangea roots have appeared on the US market, mainly for improving urinary system health.
