Blue Lotus Extract - Nuciferine 10% has a confirmed 10% Nuciferine, one of the main active ingredients in Blue Lotus Flowers.
Nuciferine is an alkaloid found within the plants Nymphaea caerulea and Nelumbo nucifera. Nuciferine possesses, anti-inflamatory, anti-hyperlipidemia, anti-hypotensive, anti-arrhythmic, and insulin secretagogue activities.
Nuciferine has an enriched pharmacological profile, with affinities for a number of serotonergic and dopaminergic receptors.

Furthermore, a recent identified mechanism of action related to its anti-inflammatory activity, suggest this molecule might also play a role in the treatment of depression and posttraumatic stress disorder. Nuciferine was already reported to have antipsychotic properties, comparable to chlorpromazine.
