Antioxidant, Antimutagenic, and Antidiabetic Activities of Edible Leaves from <i>Cnidoscolus chayamansa</i> Mc. Vaugh

Abstract

C. chayamansa has been proposed as an herbal medicine to treat diabetes; however, the reported results are not conclusive and further studies need to be performed. Despite this fact, chaya leaves can be commercialized as tea in a dried presentation since the dried leaves conserve high polyphenol contents.
