Scientific Background
Carnosic acid is a benzenediol abietane diterpene naturally extracted from rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) and sage (Saliva officinalis). It is a potent antioxidant that inhibits NADH or NADPH induced lipid peroxidation by acting as a free radical scavenger (1). It has been found to increase cellular levels of glutathione (GSH) and prevent 6-hydroxydopamine-induced cell death in SH-SY5Y cells (2). Carnosic acid-stimulation of GSH also inhibits adipocyte differentiation (3). It has also been found to induce apoptosis (4) and inhibit the proliferation and migration of various tumor cell lines (5).
