Propriedades antioxidantes e anti-inflamatória da Morus nigra e seus benefícios na saúde da mulher durante a perimenopausa

Abstract

Morus nigra, or blackberry, has stood out for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and hormonal modulating properties, being a promising alternative for women's health, especially during perimenopause. The bioactive compounds present in Morus nigra, such as flavonoids, anthocyanins and phenolic acids, play an essential role in neutralizing free radicals, contributing to the reduction of oxidative stress and systemic inflammation. Furthermore, the presence of phytoestrogens in Morus nigra helps regulate hormonal balance, relieving perimenopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and irritability. It has also demonstrated neuroprotective potential and can improve cognition and mood, factors often affected by perimenopause. In summary, Morus nigra offers a natural and effective approach to mitigate the symptoms associated with perimenopause, being an alternative to conventional therapies, with a lower risk of adverse effects and broad benefits for women's health.
