Sage Leaf (Loose Herbal Tea) 50g. Due to its high antioxidant capacity, sage can help protect the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals, which often results in cell death, impaired immunity, and chronic disease! 1) Possible Alzheimer's treatment   In a study of patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease, participants were given either sage extract or a placebo for 4 months. Those given the sage extract showed an improvement in cognition as well as a reduction in agitation compared with the placebo group. Other studies have shown that sage can improve memory in young, healthy adults, too. 2) Lowering blood glucose and cholesterol In a study published in Complementary Therapies in Medicine, 40 patients with diabetes and hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) were given sage leaf extract for 3 months. At the end of the trial, the participants had lower fasting glucose, HbA1c (a measure of average glucose levels over a 3-month period), total cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL ("bad" cholesterol) levels, but high HDL ("good" cholesterol). 3) Controlling inflammation Although evidence is scant, certain compounds in sage appear to have an anti-inflammatory action. One study investigated the effects of a range of these compounds on the inflammatory response in gingival fibroblasts (a common type of cell found in the connective tissue of the gums).
