    Traditional Edict

    Quality Markers

    Ugonins A-K (Cyclized Prenylated Flavonoids) >= 1.00% & Helminthostachin (HPLC MHM standard)

    Mechanism & Phytochemistry

    1. Ugonins A, B, C stimulate StAR and 17b-HSD in Leydig cells, boosting endogenous testosterone synthesis. 2. Upregulates BMP-2 and Type I collagen for bone density. 3. Suppresses MMP-9 to accelerate granulation over chronic necrotic ulcers.
