Mechanism of action
Guava leaf extract contains quercetin, kaempferol, and other flavonoids that act as free radical scavengers and inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine production. These compounds may also modulate glucose metabolism and lipid profiles through multiple cellular signaling pathways. The extract's mechanism is primarily attributed to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties rather than a single discrete molecular target.
