Modern Pharmacological Effects of Lemon Instant Powder
Lemon instant powder, a dehydrated concentrate of lemon juice and/or pulp, retains key bioactive compounds and exhibits several evidence-based pharmacological effects:
- Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory: Rich in vitamin C and flavonoids (e.g., hesperidin, eriocitrin), it demonstrates strong free radical scavenging activity, reducing oxidative stress and markers of inflammation.
- Cardiometabolic Protection: Its flavonoids improve endothelial function, enhance nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, and can help lower blood pressure and LDL-cholesterol oxidation, reducing atherosclerosis risk. Studies also indicate potential for improving insulin sensitivity.
- Renal Protection & Anti-urolithiasis: Citrate and other organic acids in lemon powder increase urinary pH and citrate excretion, effectively inhibiting calcium oxalate crystal formation, which helps prevent kidney stones.
- Antimicrobial & Detoxification Support: The organic acids (especially citric acid) and flavonoids exhibit antibacterial properties. Vitamin C and flavonoids support phase I/II liver detoxification enzymes, aiding in toxin metabolism.
- Digestive Aid & Weight Management: Citric acid stimulates digestion. The polyphenols and fiber (if pulp is included) may modestly modulate lipid metabolism and promote satiety.
