✔ Antimicrobial activity
-
Directly kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi
-
Helps prevent infections in skin and mucous membranes
✔ Immune modulation
-
Activates immune cells like macrophages and neutrophils
-
Regulates inflammation to prevent excessive immune response
✔ Wound healing & tissue repair
-
Promotes growth of new cells and tissue regeneration
-
Supports angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)
✔ Anti-inflammatory effects
-
Reduces chronic inflammation while promoting healing
