Amaranthus spinosus
Widespread tropical herb used in Africa, Asia, and Americas as food-medicine for fever, urinary conditions, and as a galactagogue for lactation support.
Spiny amaranth (Amaranthus spinosus) is a widespread tropical herb traditionally used as a galactagogue and for fever and urinary conditions. Modern research indicates anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, attributed to betalains, rutin, quercetin, and amaranthine. It is also valued as a nutritious food source.
The anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways by flavonoids such as quercetin and rutin. Antioxidant activity arises from betalains and phenolic compounds that scavenge free radicals and upregulate endogenous antioxidant enzymes. The galactagogue effect is hypothesized to involve prolactin stimulation, though specific receptor pathways remain unclear. Additionally, the high vitamin K content may interfere with coagulation by promoting synthesis of clotting factors.
