Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Bignay (Antidesma bunius) has been used in traditional Southeast Asian medicine for a variety of health purposes, including the support of cardiovascular health. Historical use includes its employment as a natural remedy for high blood pressure and as a general tonic. The fruits and leaves are rich in polyphenols and anthocyanins, compounds known for their antioxidant properties, which are thought to benefit blood vessel health by reducing oxidative stress—a factor in arterial stiffness and damage. However, while these traditional uses are noted in ethnobotanical records, direct scientific evidence specifically linking Bignay to improved arterial or cardiovascular function remains limited. A few animal studies suggest potential antihypertensive effects, but robust clinical trials in humans are lacking. Thus, its use for supporting the arteries relies mainly on its traditional applications and its general antioxidant content, rather than on well-established clinical data.
