    1. Rhubarb extract has a neuroprotective effect. It can reduce the release of inflammatory factors, thereby reducing brain tissue damage.
      In addition, rhubarb has a potential therapeutic effect on neurodegenerative diseases. It can also reduce cell apoptosis, reduce neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, and thus play a neuroprotective role.
    2. Improve the intestine. Specifically, rhubarb extract can not only enhance the diversity of intestinal flora, reduce the abundance of harmful bacteria, but also improve metabolic disorders.
