Katuki is a highly effective immunomodulator and useful in conditions caused by low immunity, including auto- immune illnesses like Psoriasis & Vitiligo. Its bio-polymeric fraction induces both humoral and cellular immunity, because of which Katuki is a very effective adjuvant therapy in the management of Cancer & Immune- compromised conditions.
Katuki augments mucin level, optimises gastric secretion & prostaglandin levels and potentiates angiogenesis. Its bitter actives promote epithelial recovery by re-epithelialization, thus giving better relief than NSAIDs, which causes a delay in the healing of gastrointestinal ulcer.
Katuki alters the structure of the hepatocytes to prevent penetration of the hepato-toxins into the liver. It stimulates nucleolar polymerase-A, leading to ribosomal protein synthesis, which results in stimulation of regenerative ability of the liver & formation of new hepatocytes.
