The active ingredients of the corossolier

Studies have highlighted the presence in the corossolier of the following phytochemical compounds: tannins, steroids, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, saponosides, terpenoids, flavonoids, cardiac glycosides.

Among the alkaloids discovered, there is coreximin (respiratory and anti-hypertensive stimulant), stéphanine (sedative properties), atherospermine, reticulin (with antibacterial, analgesic and spasmolytic virtues), anomurine, annomuricin and coclaurine.

• The flesh of the graviola organic corossol is rich in sucrose> (2.53 %), dextrose (5.05 %) and levulose (0.04 %).

• Fruit is an excellent source of fructose and vitamins B (B1 and B2) and C.

• Recent studies have enabled three acetogenins to isolate: Annacin, Annacin-A and Annomuricin-A.

The properties of the corossolier and the organic corossol graviola

Here is a long list of therapeutic properties attributed to all parts of the corossolian fruit tree: antibacterial, anticancer, anticonvulsive, antidepressive, anti-diarrheal, anti-dysentery, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antineoplasic, antiparasitic (deworming), antispasmodic, antiviral, antiviral, antiviral, antiviral, antiviral, antiviral Astringent, Carminative, Blood Depurative, Febrifuge, hypotensive, insecticide, sedative, sudorific and vasodilator. and anticancer.

The therapeutic virtues of the corossolier - traditional medicine

Medico-traditional uses of the different parts of the corossolier:

• Immature fruits are used to treat dysentery and diarrhea (astringent properties).

• Mûrs corossol fruit juice is used as a diuretic to treat hematuria or uretritis.

• The ripe fruit rich in vitamin C is an excellent antiscorbutic.

• In traditional Indonesian medicine, the horn is used as a remedy for anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor virtues (powerful anti-cancer).

The therapeutic corosselar benefits - Scientific studies

In 1976, an investigation program in phytotherapy, led by the National Cancer Institute of the United States, discovered that the leaves, stems and the fruit of the corossolier contain cytotoxic agents capable of destroying cancer cells.

Three groups of independent researchers have managed to isolate these compounds separately. These compounds indeed exercise selective toxicity against several types of cancer cells, without damaging healthy cells.

These discoveries were published in eight different clinical studies. Several acetogenins have shown selective toxicity against tumor cells in very low doses, as low as 1 ppm (parts per million). In 1998, four studies were published on the action of acetogenins on lung cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, prostatic adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, breast adenocarcinoma.

• The corossolier can have an antidepressive activity because of its ability to stimulate serotonin receptors in the brain.
