Bacopaside powder has immune-enhancing effects. It has been found that Bacopaside bulk powder can increase the phagocytosis of macrophages and release related immunity factors to enhance the immune activity of macrophages. Moreover, Bacopa Monnieri Extract effectively increased the level of humoral and cellular immunity in tumour-bearing mice, as well as the possible molecular mechanism of immune enhancement. And it is an effective adjuvant nutritional supplement for DC vaccines. Amaranthus polysaccharide-treated antigen had a promotive effect on the immune function of mice. Also, it can be used as a novel immune adjuvant in combination with a DC vaccine for breast cancer treatment. Pectin-like polysaccharides were extracted from amaranth and other herbs, respectively. It has been shown that this polysaccharide can increase the release of IL-6 through PP-mediated bone marrow cell proliferation. This could exert intestinal immunomodulatory activity. It is noteworthy that Bacopaside Powder is effective in activating normal immune cells.

The good anticancer activity of Bacopaside Powder has attracted increasing attention from scholars. It is found that amaranth polysaccharide has good anti-tumour activity, can inhibit the growth of cervical cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. It also has a protective effect against tumour-induced apoptosis in intestinal DC by activating the TLR4-PI3K/AKT-NF-κB signalling pathway in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Covalent selenation of selenated Amaranthus polysaccharide PPS was able to incorporate inorganic selenium into the final PPS product and change its monosaccharide composition. And it can have colon nutritional and anticancer effects. It was found that the amaranth polysaccharide can effectively inhibit cell malignant proliferation, so that the cells show obvious apoptosis and are dose-dependent. Bacopa Monnieri Extract was found that Amaranthus polysaccharide mainly induced G1 phase cycle block. It induced apoptosis. In addition, the study was conducted by determining the tumour size and body weight changes in U14 mice in vivo. The results showed that amaranth polysaccharides can effectively inhibit the growth of tumours in vivo. Some of the amaranth polysaccharide fractions significantly increased the body weight of the mice.

Amaranth polysaccharide has a hypoglycemic effect. It is the best food for diabetic patients. Role of voltage-gated sodium channels in Amaranthus polysaccharides and their mechanism related to insulin secretion. Bacopaside powder induced insulin secretion from insulin-secreting β-cell lineage cells (INS-1). Demonstrate the potential of Amaranthus polysaccharides as a therapeutic agent for diabetes mellitus and VGSC as a therapeutic target for diabetes mellitus. The study showed that Amaranthus polysaccharide has significant pharmacological effects on diabetic rats. It was able to reduce the fasting blood glucose level and increase the fasting serum insulin level and insulin sensitivity index value in rats. In addition, the polysaccharide was able to effectively reduce the levels of TNF-α and IL-6, as well as the activities of MDA and SOD in rats. This suggests that the antidiabetic effect of CPOP may be related to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Diseases are often accompanied by inflammation. Numerous studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory activity of polysaccharides from Amaranthus communis, and the levels of COX-2 protein and STAT3 phosphorylation were elevated in colitis and decreased after treatment with Amaranthus communis. It was reduced after treatment with amaranth. This shows that these two proteins are closely related to the protective effect of Bacopaside powder. Amaranth has some anti-inflammatory effects. Bacopaside powder could alleviate DSS-induced intestinal inflammation by inhibiting the expression of TLR4 and its downstream key proteins MyD88 and NF-κB, inhibiting the maturation of intestinal DCs, balancing the T-lymphocyte subpopulations, and regulating the levels of inflammatory factors in the intestinal mucosa of UC mice. In addition, it can also improve DSS-induced intestinal dysbiosis.
