The <strong>anti-aging properties<\/strong> of galangin block cellular apoptosis, maintaining cell life longer.<\/p>\n<p>It has benefits for the skin, maintenance of vision, and as a cardiovascular protector.<\/p>\n<p>Galangin is found in plants such as Alpinia galanga, Alpina officinarum, helichrysum aureonitens, and in preparations extracted from beehives rich in propolis.<\/p>\n<p>It has also been shown to have <strong>antitumor activity<\/strong>. Galangin presents beneficial properties for humans as it inhibits the growth of cells of various types of breast cancer.<\/p>\n<h2>What is galangin used for?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Delaying aging.<\/li>\n<li>Strengthening the body&#8217;s defenses.<\/li>\n<li>Reducing symptoms of vitiligo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is no coincidence that many herbal products indicated for treating the respiratory tract contain a good amount of galangin. <strong>Together with propolis, galangin improves the immune system<\/strong>, providing assistance in the formation and response of B lymphocytes.<br \/>\nFor vitiligo, it is recommended to take 2 ml of galangin for 60 days. This will improve the formation of more melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"boxrefer\">\n<li>Ciolino, H. P.; Yeh, G. C.
