How Butterbur May Help Support Healthy Brain Function*

The brain is a complex organ that depends on a delicate balance of many different chemicals and nutrients in order to function properly. One important nutrient for brain health is oxygen. Oxygen is transported to the brain by red blood cells via the bloodstream. Therefore, anything that affects blood flow can also affect brain function.

Butterbur contains compounds called petasins which are thought to promote healthy blood flow.* In one study, participants taking butterbur extract had significantly greater blood flow to the brain than those taking a placebo.* Increased blood flow translates to increased oxygen delivery to the brain, which may help support healthy neurological function.*

In addition to supporting healthy blood flow, petasins in butterbur may also inhibit certain enzymes that contribute to inflammation.* Inflammation is a natural process that occurs when the body's immune system kicks into gear to fight off foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses. However, when inflammation persists long after an infection has resolved, it can start to cause problems. Chronic inflammation has been linked with a number of health conditions, including some neurological disorders.* Therefore, by inhibiting inflammation-promoting enzymes, butterbur may help support healthy brain function.*
