Nutraceutical Profile

ImmunCR Id : ICR122
Chemical Name : Eugenol
Plant Source : Clove
Nutraceutical information : Edible as well as used as herbal oil
Mode of administration : Oil, Dieatry supplement
Immunomodulatory mechanism : A possible mechanism of action probably involved the suppression of the nuclear factor-κB pathway by eugenol, since it is the major compound found in clove extract.
Description : Eugenol, also called clove oil, is an aromatic oil extracted from cloves that is used widely as a flavoring for foods and teas and as an herbal oil used topically to treat toothache and more rarely to be taken orally to treat gastrointestinal and respiratory complaints.
