Fennel Optimizes the Digestive Functioning in absorbed Nutrients and Fluids

Fennel may have a therapeutic and enhanced effect in improving the digestive system in absorbed nutrients and fluids from food intake, some scientists suggested.

The result of this efficacy was published online by several respectable institutes, including the University of Illinois at Chicago and Afyon Kocatepe University.

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species of genus, belongings to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean, used in traditional and herbal medicine as warming, carminative, antispasmodic, antidepressant agent and to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, to regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve PMS,...

According to the study, researchers set out a criteria and guideline to investigate the effect of fennel in gram-negative bacterium Helicobacter pylori (HP), the microorganisms has been associated with the development of gastritis and peptic ulcer disease to confirm the theory of used in traditional medicine fennel to treat a wide range of ailments, including gastrointestinal (GI) disorders such as dyspepsia, gastritis and peptic ulcer disease (PUD), application of methanol extracts of botanicals with a MIC of 50 microg/mL included Achillea millefolium, Foeniculum vulgare (seed), exerted a significantly inhibitory effect against all susceptibility of 15 HP strains.

These results suggested that injection of fennel displayed potential in balanced the ratio of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract, thus improve the function in absorbed and distributed nutrients to the body and reassured the herbal medicine used in practice for the treatment of numbers symptoms of
digestive disorder.



Furthermore, in an animal model with rat induced gastric lesions by injection of ethanol, the application of aqueous extracts of Foeniculum vulgare (FVE) showed strong activity in inhibited the ulcerogenic expression through its antioxidant activities.

In observation of the efficacy of 60 minutes pre administration of the doses of 75, 150 and 300 mg/kg, with famotidine, histamine H₂ receptor antagonist with function to inhibit stomach acid production, used at the dose of 20 mg/kg, before injection of ethanol, researchers found that

* Pre-treatment of all dose exerted a significant gastric protective effect in reduced injury and damage caused by the injection of ethanol.


* Fennel extract demonstrated a therapeutic activity linearly in compared to other doses and control at a dose of 300 mg/kg


* These activities were associated to reduce the malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, a marker in the expression of severe levels of oxidative stress.

Additional analysis, also suggested that fennel stimulated gastro-protect effect through its antioxidants and facilitated the production of antioxidants found in the body tissues in inhibited the overexpression of free radicals, thus maintaining the ratio of microorganisms in the digestive tract and its functioning.


After, taking into account other co and confounders, researchers also suggested that the result in part may also be attributed to an antioxidant in ameliorated lipid peroxidation.


The above differentiation was supported by the joint report lead by the Joint Keio University in the investigation of fennel properties associated with functional dyspepsia (FD), a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by persistent or recurrent postprandial upper abdominal discomfort and epigastric pain.

Truly, Delayed gastric emptying and impaired gastric accommodation were found to play important roles in the development of FD.


Anethole (1-methoxy-4-((E)-propenyl)-benzene), a major component of fennel essential oil, in rodents exerted a huge effect in improved clonidine-induced delayed gastric emptying without harming to normal gastric emptying in mice, orally.


Also, the application of fennel oil plus Anchu-san (a Japanese herbal medicine containing anethole) also demonstrated an important activity in reduced risk of functional dyspepsia (FD) through restoring the delayed gastric emptying.



In other words, anethole processes a gastroprotective efficacy through stimulating gastric accommodation.


Taken together, whole fennel, fennel essential oil, and its bioactive compound anethole may be used as a secondary application in reduced risk and treatment of the digestive disorder. Adding a portion of fennel in your diet may improve the digestive function in absorption nutrients and fluids from the food intake.

However, intake of supplements should be taken with extreme care as an overdose may cause acute liver toxicity.
