Malaysian researchers investigated the effect of Eurycoma longifolia, also known as longjack, on the proliferation, differentiation and maturation of osteoclasts and the translational mechanism of inhibition of osteoclastogenesis using RAW 264.7 cells. Their findings were published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that E. longifolia can improve bone regeneration but suppress osteoclast maturation. These activities are invaluable in treating osteoporosis and other bone-erosive diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and metastasis associated with bone loss.
