INCREDIBLE HEALTH BENEFITS OF BLUE LOTUS
The main active compounds in blue lotus are apomorphine and nuciferine. These two alkaloids are responsible for the plant’s anxiety-relieving effects. Apomorphine is a compound that acts as a dopamine agonist, meaning it can produce feelings of happiness and calm. Nuciferine relaxes muscle cells and prevents muscle contractions. It also has a calming effect.
Studies have shown that blue lotus extract can help to reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep quality, and boost cognitive function.
