Thyme Leaf and Its Benefits

Swanson Thyme contains 500 mg of thyme leaf (Thymus vulgaris) in a whole herb, full-spectrum form. Thyme is not only a popular spice that enhances the flavor of many dishes, but it has also been shown to have various health benefits.

Antioxidant Benefits

Thyme contains several antioxidants, including flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic acids. These compounds help protect the body's cells from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. Oxidative stress can be harmful to the body and is linked to the development of various diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and certain types of cancer.

Anti-inflammatory Properties

Several studies have shown that thyme has anti-inflammatory properties. A study published in the Journal of Lipid Research found that thyme extract can inhibit the production of inflammatory substances in the body. These properties may benefit individuals with inflammatory conditions such as joint pain and rheumatoid arthritis.

Immune-supporting Properties

Thyme contains compounds that can strengthen the immune system. A study published in the Journal of Immunotoxicology found that thyme extract had immunomodulatory properties, meaning it can influence the activity of the immune system. This can be particularly beneficial during periods of colds and flu when the immune system needs extra support.

Digestive Support

Thyme has traditionally been used to aid digestion. It can help alleviate symptoms such as bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort. A study published in the Journal of Food Science found that thyme had a positive effect on digestion by promoting enzyme production and increasing gastric juice secretion.

Healthy Heart

Thyme may also benefit the heart. A study published in Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases found that thyme intake had a positive effect on cholesterol levels in individuals with high cholesterol. Thyme may help lower "bad" LDL cholesterol and increase "good" HDL cholesterol, potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Research on Thyme Leaf

There is growing interest in research on thyme and its health benefits. A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food found that thyme had antimicrobial properties and could inhibit the growth of certain bacteria and fungi. This could be useful in combating infections and improving oral health.
