Reduce Inflammation

According to certain animal studies, soursop and its constituents may be able to reduce inflammation. Although inflammation is a typical immune reaction to damage, mounting research suggests that persistent inflammation may also play a role in illness. In one experiment, rats were given soursop extract, which was found to reduce inflammation and edema.

Similar results from another study showed that soursop extract decreased mouse edema by up to 37%. Even though the majority of the study is now conducted on animals, treating inflammatory diseases like arthritis may benefit particularly from this. In fact, soursop extract was found to lower the levels of several inflammatory markers linked to arthritis in one animal research. To assess this fruit's anti-inflammatory abilities, additional study is necessary.
