Ursolic Acid 90c

• May help maintain muscle mass in individuals following low-calorie diets.
• Protects the skin from photo-aging and is a potent inhibitor of elastase.
• Has significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Ursolic acid has traditionally been used for the skin as it appears to repair damaged tissue in the cutaneous barrier and scalp. Taking ursolic acid for skin care may also protect against photo-aging and could be a potent inhibitor of elastase, an enzyme present in the skin which attacks structural proteins.

With its multitude of properties, ursolic acid is an important addition to the range of phytoceutical resources available for anti-aging in general.

Because ursolic acid has also shown to have anti-infection effects and to inhibit some viruses, it is used to promote overall health. Recent studies on rats have even indicated that its inhibitory power (reversible) on human leukocyte elastase may have potential in combating inflammatory lung infections, such as the H1N1 and SARS viruses. Ursolic acid also has shown anti-microbial and immune-stimulant effects, specifically against the effects of tuberculosis, according to one study.

Other research shows it may inhibit memory impairment by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase – reducing the enzymatic degradation of acetylcholine and improving cholinergic transmission.

How To Take Ursolic Acid Capsules?

Even with the best ursolic acid supplements, it is important to follow the instructions on the label. To receive the maximum health benefits of ursolic acid, we recommend adults to take 3 to 6 vegetarian capsules, totaling 300 mg of ursolic acid, daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional. We recommend taking the capsules throughout the day, rather than taking all six capsules at once. SuperSmart’s ursolic acid supplements should be stored away from direct light, heat, and humidity.
