Asparagus, the Natural Whole Food for Reduced Risk and treatment of Ulcer

Intake Asparagus regularly may have a positive effect on reduced risk and treatment of ulcers.

Asparagus is a flowering plant belongs to species the genus Asparagus, native to the western coasts of northern Spain, north to Ireland, Great Britain, and northwest Germany, northern Africa, and western Asia. Asparagus has been used from early times as a vegetable and medicine, because of its delicate flavor and diuretic properties.

According to the University of Maiduguri, Methanolic extract of Asparagus pubescens root exerted protective against anti-ulcer effects through regulating alpha(2)-adrenoceptor stimulation on vascular smooth muscle, in a dose-related manner.



In the study of Asparagus racemosus Willd. (methanolic extract) against indomethacin (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), induced gastric ulcers, oral administration of Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari) crude extract significantly reduced ulcer index when compared with the control group in doses of 100 mg/kg/day.

Dr. Bhatnagar M, the lead author said, " Crude extract also significantly reduced volume of gastric secretion, free acidity, and total acidity..........( probably due to sparagus racemosus exerted) an inhibitory effect on the release of gastric hydrochloric acid and protects gastric mucosal damage".




In fact, asparagus anti gastric ulcer efficacy can be observed through the significant increase of the total carbohydrate and total carbohydrate/protein ratio as well as reduced the ulcer index, volume of gastric secretion, free acidity, and total acidity.

Some researchers suggested the anti-ulcer activity of asparagus may also be a result of increased antioxidants in ameliorated damage of stomach lining caused by domino's effect of free radical production.
