Bayam kremah (Alternanthera sessilis)

Bayam kremak contains carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which function as powerful antioxidants that protect the retina from oxidative damage. Plant sterols like stigmasterol and β-sitosterol provide anti-inflammatory effects and help reduce cholesterol absorption in the body. Its triterpenoid saponins act as blood purifiers that support smooth circulation. In addition, bayam kremak is rich in iron and vitamin A, two essential micronutrients for red blood cell formation and maintaining healthy vision.

Bayam kremah contains carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which function as specific antioxidants that protect the retina, along with plant sterols like stigmasterol and β-sitosterol that help reduce cholesterol absorption and provide anti-inflammatory effects. Its triterpenoid saponins play a role in blood purification and improving circulation, while the high levels of iron and vitamin A support red blood cell formation and eye health. Traditionally, this plant is known as a specialist for eye health because it can help prevent macular degeneration, cataracts, and night blindness. Its extract is also regarded as a natural nootropic with potential to enhance memory and protect nerve cells from oxidative stress. Strongly cooling in nature, bayam kremah is used to relieve “hot blood” conditions such as fever, nosebleeds, and bleeding hemorrhoids. In addition, its leaf juice is often used as a hair tonic to stimulate hair growth and prevent early-stage baldness.
