Product Information

• Name: beta-Costic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: beta-Costic acid is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene, which is primarily extracted from plants belonging to the Asteraceae family. As a secondary metabolite, it plays a role in the plant's defense mechanisms against herbivores and pathogens. The mode of action of beta-Costic acid involves the modulation of inflammatory pathways, which it achieves through the inhibition of key cytokines and enzymes involved in the inflammatory process. Additionally, its antimicrobial properties are attributed to its ability to disrupt bacterial cell membranes and interfere with pathogen replication.
