Perilla seed offers a concentrated source of polyphenols (including rosmarinic acid and luteolin), along with other beneficial compounds. This herb has traditionally been used to promote healthy respiratory and immune function. In animal models of Th2 dominance, perilla helped maintain healthy upper respiratory cytokine levels. Perilla extract helps support healthy modulation of Th2 cytokines, and eosinophil and mast cell activity. It also helps maintain healthy modulation of mucosal immune responses to environmental factors and cytokine homeostasis of GI mucosal tissue.
