Application:
Geranium robertianum shows anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties in vitro.
Scavenging free radicals activity was also observed in both stems and leaves extract. The study also observes a link between these two properties where it is suggested that Geranium robertianum owes its anti-inflammatory properties to its anti-radical ones. [1]
Geranium robertianum also shows cytostatic capacity, along the anti-oxidative one. [2] Its cytostatic capacity is useful in inhibiting tumor cell growth as a study observes while testing Geranium robertianum aqueous and organic extracts against human tumor cells and anti-oxidative activity in non-tumor porcine liver cells. [3]
Its antioxidant capacity is also observed in another study through Polyphenols evaluation where the antioxidant capacity is proportionate to the Polyphenols concentration. [4]
