Carica papaya Leaf Extract has become popular as a herbal medicine for increasing the platelet count in dengue fever without any side effect and prevents the complication of thrombocytopenia. |
Carica papaya Leaf is a natural platelet booster. The extract of papaya leaf has been shown to increase ALOX12 (arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase) gene activity by 15 times. Thus, Carica papaya leaf extract increases the platelet count in dengue fever without any side effect and prevents the complication of thrombocytopenia (low platelet count). It is also beneficial for people in treating digestive disorders due to the presence of an important enzyme papain.
