Gentianella alborosea
An Andean herb used in Peru and Bolivia for liver conditions, diabetes, and weight management.
Hercampuri (Gentianella alborosea) is a traditional Andean herb used primarily for hepatoprotection, glycemic control, and weight management. Its key active compounds include the secoiridoid glycosides swertiamarin and amarogentin, along with xanthones and alkaloids, which contribute to its choleretic, hypoglycemic, and slimming effects. Evidence is limited to pilot studies and traditional use, placing it at an evidence level C.
Swertiamarin and amarogentin stimulate bile acid secretion and gallbladder contraction via bitter taste receptor activation (TAS2Rs) on enteroendocrine cells, enhancing fat digestion and exerting a choleretic effect. These compounds also inhibit α-glucosidase and improve insulin sensitivity, reducing postprandial hyperglycemia. Xanthones (e.g., mangiferin) provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity by scavenging free radicals and inhibiting NF-κB, while alkaloids may contribute to mild appetite suppression. The herb's hepatoprotective action involves upregulation of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GPx) and reduction of hepatic steatosis.
