Scientific Evidence Preclinical studies have shown that Terminalia belerica reduced the levels of lipids in hypercholesterolemic animals. The experiments have shown a significant decrease in liver lipids and heart lipids in the drug-treated animals. Recent research has proven this herb to be potent adaptogenic agent. The whole aqueous standardized extracts of Terminalia belerica were administered orally to experimental animals, in a dose extrapolated from the human dose, following which they were exposed to a variety of biological, physical and chemical stressors. The observations greatly supported the fact that Terminalia belerica significantly offers protection against these stressors. Experimental studies have also proven this herb as Antidiabetic, Antioxidant, Antimicrobial.
