Icariin is Neuroprotective, Reducing Ferroptosis

In animal studies, icariin has been shown to favorably change the balance of microbial populations in the aging gut microbiome, and is modestly protective against a range of age-related declines. How exactly it operates remains to be seen, but given that it alters the gut microbiome, there are likely many relevant mechanisms that stem from the influence of the microbiome on cell function through the body. Researchers here note that icariin reduces a form of programmed cell death in the aged brain, a contributing cause of neurodegeneration.
