Скачать или смотреть Scientists Discover RARE Medicinal Compounds in Cannabis Leaves Don't Throw Them Away

🌿 What if we've been throwing away the most medicinal part of the cannabis plant? Researchers at Stellenbosch University have made a groundbreaking discovery: cannabis leaves are packed with rare flavoalkaloids—a highly valuable group of phenolic compounds with potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic properties.

Using advanced 2D liquid chromatography, the team identified 79 distinct phenolic compounds in just three cannabis strains, 25 of which had never been reported before. This revelation turns what was considered "waste" into a potential goldmine for biomedical research.

🔬 Key Discoveries:
✔️ Flavoalkaloids Found: Extremely rare compounds, previously almost unknown in nature, were detected in cannabis leaves.
✔️ Strain-Specific: These valuable compounds were concentrated in the leaves of just one specific strain.
✔️ New Analytical Method: A cutting-edge technique was developed to separate these compounds from the more abundant flavonoids.
✔️ Medical Potential: Highlights the untapped medicinal value of non-cannabinoid parts of the plant.
