Amaranthus hypochondriacus
Ancient Aztec grain used as a sacred food and medicine. Aztec used it in religious ceremonies. Banned by Spanish conquistadors, it survived and is now recognized as a highly nutritious grain.
Amaranthus hypochondriacus, known as Pinole Amaranth, is an ancient Aztec grain revered as both a sacred ceremonial food and a medicinal tonic. Its primary modern uses include nutritive support, antioxidant protection, anti-inflammatory modulation, and antidiabetic effects, attributed to bioactive compounds such as squalene, rutin, lunasin, and high-quality protein.
The grain's antioxidant activity is mediated by rutin and squalene, which scavenge reactive oxygen species and upregulate endogenous antioxidant enzymes via Nrf2 pathway activation. Lunasin, a bioactive peptide, inhibits NF-κB signaling, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6). Antidiabetic effects involve improved insulin sensitivity through AMPK phosphorylation and modulation of glucose transporters (GLUT4). Squalene also supports cholesterol metabolism by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase.
