The Claim
Daily consumption of adlay tea for 8 weeks significantly reduces the increase in myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in neutrophils among healthy adults aged 20–65 compared to placebo.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Drinking adlay tea daily for eight weeks leads to a measurable reduction in the rise of myeloperoxidase activity in neutrophils compared to not drinking it.
See the scientific wording
Daily consumption of adlay tea for 8 weeks significantly attenuates the increase in myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in neutrophils among healthy adults aged 20–65, compared to placebo, suggesting a potential role in modulating neutrophil-driven inflammation.
When someone drinks adlay tea, chemicals in the tea enter the blood and attach to an enzyme in white blood cells called myeloperoxidase. This stops the enzyme from making harmful chemicals that cause tissue damage. As a result, the white blood cells do not produce as much inflammation.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who drank adlay tea every day for two months didn't see their inflammation marker go up, while those who drank a fake tea did. This suggests adlay tea might help keep inflammation in check.
