Blue Lotus
“the two main active alkaloids in blue lotus flowers and rhizomes are aporphine, which is converted in the body to apomorphine, and nuciferine.
both of these alkaloids interact with our dopaminergic system: apomorphine is a non-selective d1/d2 dopamine agonist, while nuciferine has been found to have mixed effects on dopamine receptors. dopamine is a neurotransmitter that regulates motivation, attention, behavior, mood, pain, insulin levels, and gastrointestinal processes, to name a few of its many functions.
nuciferine was reported to have anti-inflammatory properties, to potentiate the pain-relieving effects of morphine, as well as to potentially help treat liver disease in type-2 diabetes. it has also been found to inhibit glioblastoma (brain cancer) cell growth, making it an interesting candidate for cancer treatment research. interestingly, it has shown promise as a treatment for premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction.
apomorphine was found to improve motor function and slow down neurodegeneration, making it useful in parkinson’s disease and alzheimer disease therapy. it reportedly supports neural growth and suppresses addictive behavior in rats, and it’s being looked into for its in vitro potential to suppress tumor cell invasion. it also inhibits the breakdown of dopamine, keeping more of this neurotransmitter available and likely accounting for most of the psychoactive effects of consuming the blue lotus. finally, apomorphine has also proven effective in aphrodisiacs.
Other compounds isolated from the blue lotus were found to have antioxidant properties, meaning that they could help protect the nervous system from degradation.”
Take caution whilst using blue lotus if in-taking any other medications or if breastfeeding/pregnant.
