1. What are the effects of locking Yang?

Suoyang has the effect of strengthening yang, consolidating essence, nourishing blood and strengthening tendons. It is suitable for spermatorrhea and constipation.

In recent years, the use of Suoyang to treat prostate hypertrophy and hyperplasia, leukemia, diabetes, asthma, and premature ejaculation has achieved very good results.

2. What are the functions of locking Yang?

1. Eliminate free radicals

Suoyang can enhance the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in mouse serum and mitochondria, and can effectively remove free radicals in the mouse body. In addition, Suoyang can also increase the activity of lipoperoxidase, thus having an anti-aging effect. In addition, it also has the effect of preventing arteriosclerosis.

2. Impact on immune function

Suoyang has the effect of enhancing the immune function of animals. Experiments have shown that it has a significant promoting effect on the humoral immunity of yang-deficient and normal mice, and its mechanism may be related to increasing spleen lymph nodes, etc. Suoyang can increase the reduced neutrophils in yang-deficient mice, thereby enhancing the body's defense function.

3. Tolerance to hypoxia and anti-stress

The total sugars, total glycosides and total steroids of Suoyang can prolong the survival time of mice under normobaric hypoxia and hypoxia induced by isoproterenol sulfate, prolong the survival time of mice injected with air intravenously, and increase the duration and frequency of mouth opening of decapitated mice.

4. Effects on glucocorticoids

The experiment showed that Suoyang extract could significantly increase the serum cortisol level of mice in the model medication group and restore it to normal levels, but had no effect on the serum cortisol concentration of normal mice, indicating that Suoyang has a bidirectional regulatory effect on glucocorticoids.

5. Laxative effect

The inorganic ions contained in Suoyang can significantly enhance intestinal motility and shorten the defecation time of mice. The soluble inorganic salt content is about 7%, and the large amount of inorganic ions contained in it can form salt laxatives such as magnesium sulfate, sodium sulfate, sodium phosphate, etc. in aqueous solution, thereby playing a role in moistening the intestines and facilitating defecation.

6. Impact on the reproductive system

It is generally believed that Suoyang can enhance male potency, but unprocessed Suoyang can significantly reduce testicular function. However, after being processed with salt, it has a significant promoting effect on the function of the testicles, epididymis and preputial glands of normal and yang-deficient mice. In the water extract of Suoyang, the number and survival rate of mature rat epididymal sperm are significantly increased, and the activity rate of sperm is enhanced. It is a commonly used drug for the treatment of male infertility.

7. Anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects

Oleic acid and palmitic acid in Suoyang have anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory effects respectively. In addition, it has been found that Suoyang has anti-gastric ulcer, platelet aggregation inhibition, anti-HIV protease, anti-transcription and anti-cancer effects.
