Research Promise:
At LifeSource Vitamins, our commitment is rooted in research and results. Every benefit below is anchored to human-relevant evidence verified by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) family of databases and other top authorities, plus insights from 39 clinically respected organizations and 20 globally renowned health-focused universities.*
Clinically Studied & Human-Relevant Evidence (with research)
• Antioxidant defense (human cells, ex vivo)* — Osha extract increased glutathione (GSH) and antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT) in human lymphocyte models under oxidative stress. (PubMed 2017)
• Immune signal modulation (context)* — Same study noted favorable changes in IFN-γ and IL-2 signaling in stressed lymphocytes. (PubMed 2017)
• Ethnobotanical respiratory use (human-use documentation)* — Peer-reviewed surveys describe Osha as a traditional aid for coughs, colds, throat/bronchial comfort, and altitude travel among Indigenous peoples of the Southwest. (PMC 2020)
• Constituents with pharmacologic interest* — Reviews highlight ligustilide and related phthalides with antioxidant/anti-inflammatory activity; human relevance still developing. (PubMed 2016)
• Safety/usage context* — Authoritative sources note traditional internal use but advise caution in pregnancy and kidney issues given potent aromatic constituents. (PMC 2020)
Additional Studies Showing Promising Benefits*
• Antimicrobial potential (in vitro/animal)* — Extracts showed antibacterial and antifungal activity in laboratory models. (PubMed)
• Gastrointestinal protection (preclinical)* — Early evidence suggests protection against experimental gastric irritation. (Summary citing animal data: Overview)
• Altitude/travel traditions* — Documented cultural use for high-elevation resilience and general vitality. (PubMed)
• Analgesic/anti-inflammatory signals (preclinical)* — Reviews note activity on pathways linked to discomfort; human confirmation needed. (PubMed)
• Oral/traditional preparations* — Ethnographic sources outline teas/tinctures and topical uses within traditional practice (not medical claims). (PMC 2020)
Global Evidence & Authoritative Reviews*
Reviews and ethnobotanical reports indexed by NIH/PMC discuss Osha’s historical use and phytochemistry; modern human trials remain limited. We align claims to tradition and human-relevant lab data only—no disease treatment claims. (PMC 2020)
We monitor research from the world’s leading institutions — including Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Cambridge University, Oxford, Stanford, Yale, MIT, the University of Florida, Oregon State University – Linus Pauling Institute, Boston University, Cornell, Columbia, and Ohio State — to ensure our guidance remains aligned with the highest standards of credible science.*
