The Efficacy of Celery Extract
1. Lowering blood pressure
The crude extract of celery has obvious antihypertensive effect on the intravenous injection of rabbits and dogs. The main active components of celery are coumarins and derivatives of furocoumarins.

5. Calming effects
An alkaline component was isolated from celery seed, which has sedative effect on animals and can strengthen the anesthetic effect of pentobarbital. The experiment of conditioned escape reaction and reducing the mortality of aniline colony mice showed that this alkaloid has stabilizing effect.
6. Control your blood sugar
Celery has the effect of controlling blood sugar, mainly because it contains a lot of dietary fiber, can form a mucous membrane in the gastrointestinal tract, block the rapid absorption of glucose in the digestive tract, thus slowing down the digestion and absorption process of food nutrients; At the same time, it can also absorb glucose and slow down the body's absorption rate of glucose, so that the blood sugar value of the body will not rise sharply after meals, thus reducing the body's demand for insulin, which is conducive to improving diabetes.
