A South African study, which was published in the journal Pharmacognosy Research, discovered that the bushy bulbine (Bulbine abyssinica) is rich in polyphenols that contribute to its antidiabetic and antioxidant activities. This finding was based on the results of different in vitro studies.
From this study, the researchers observed that extracts from bushy bulbine leaves have potent antioxidant and antidiabetic activity, which are possibly caused by the presence of the phenolic compounds carvone, quercetin, and psoralen.
