Function and Application
1. Antioxidant effect:
Caffeic acid tablets have a powerful antioxidant effect, can neutralize free radicals, prevent and treat diseases caused by oxidative stress, such as Alzheimer's disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, etc.
2. Hemostatic effect:

3. Improve blood composition:
Caffeic acid tablets can increase the count of white blood cells and platelets, so they are also used to treat leukopenia and thrombocytopenia caused by various causes. It stimulates the maturation of megakaryocytes and promotes the release of platelets by megakaryocytes.
4. Adjuvant chemotherapy:
Studies have shown that caffeic acid tablets can effectively prevent and alleviate myelosuppression during chemotherapy, and help white blood cells and platelets return to normal.
5. Promote gastrointestinal peristalsis:
Caffeic acid tablets can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, thus promoting the metabolism of the human body, conducive to the excretion of toxins in the body, to a certain extent, can reduce the occurrence of constipation and other symptoms.
6. Other health effects:
Caffeic acid tablets also have beauty, reduce blood lipids and blood sugar, enhance capillary elasticity, inhibit lipolysis and other health care effects.
