What type of intervention, concentrated in studies, is suggested to achieve specific renal protective effects observed in labs?
Targeted supplement
A crucial distinction exists between the concentrated intervention used in laboratory settings and the dietary integration of the whole vegetable. The successful studies demonstrating renal protection in animals utilized a specific purple corn extract (PCE), which highly concentrates the beneficial anthocyanins far beyond what is naturally present in a standard serving of even purple corn. The sheer quantity of anthocyanins required to potentially replicate the rat study effects by eating whole purple corn might be impractical or undesirable from a caloric standpoint. Consequently, the evidence points more strongly toward utilizing a targeted supplement derived from purple corn to achieve the specific, measurable protective outcomes seen in preclinical models.
