• DispepsiaCientífico

  Catjang cowpea is a meaningful source of dietary iron and folate, and has been specifically studied for its role in combating iron deficiency anemia in developing countries. Iron bioaccessibility from cowpea varies by cooking method, with pressure cooking yielding up to ~44% bioaccessible iron. Folate content further supports red blood cell production.

• HipocondríaCientífico

  Cowpea contains significant phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins with well-documented antioxidant activities. Multiple analytical and in vitro studies across numerous genotypes demonstrate substantial DPPH radical scavenging, ferric reducing ability, and anti-lipid peroxidation activity. Pigmented seed varieties show especially high antioxidant capacity.

• Fatiga SuprarrenalCientífico

  Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata, of which catjang is a subspecies) has demonstrated low glycemic index values in human trials and shows enzymatic inhibition of carbohydrate-digesting enzymes in vitro. Bioactive peptides have been shown to activate insulin-like signaling pathways. These effects are attributed to its high dietary fiber content and polyphenol-rich profile.

• Válvula IleocecalCientífico

  A human trial with moderate hypercholesterolemic subjects found that cowpea protein significantly reduced LDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein B. Animal and in vitro studies show inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase and reduced cholesterol micellar solubilization. The high fiber and phytosterol content of catjang cowpea underpin these lipid-lowering effects.

• ApendicitisCientífico

  Cowpea polyphenolic extracts have been shown to suppress LPS-induced inflammation in colonic cells and reduce inflammatory markers including ROS in vitro. A 2025 human-associated trial found biofortified cowpeas reduced inflammatory marker activation in macrophage cells. The anti-inflammatory activity is linked to phenolic and flavonoid constituents.

• Leche materna (secar)Científico

  Cowpea polyphenols and soluble fibers act as prebiotics and modulate gut microbial populations. An in vivo study in Gallus gallus found that zinc-biofortified cowpea extracts reduced abundance of Clostridium and E. coli. Cowpea bioactives also support short-chain fatty acid production during gut fermentation.

• Moretones (prevención)Científico

  Cowpea consumption is associated with reduced risk of obesity in epidemiological data, attributed to its low glycemic index, high protein and fiber content promoting satiety, and inhibition of carbohydrate-digesting enzymes. A 2025 human trial found that cowpea induced lower hunger sensation and higher satiety compared to glucose control.

• JuanetesCientífico

  Cowpea's LDL- and triglyceride-lowering effects, antihypertensive peptides, and antioxidant polyphenols collectively support cardiovascular health. There is growing evidence it is a functional food able to reduce hypercholesterolemia, a major cause of cardiovascular disease. Both human and animal studies support this link.

• Olor de piesCientífico

  Cowpea-derived peptides have been shown in vitro to activate the Akt/PKB signaling pathway, which mediates insulin sensitivity in cells. Cowpea protein hydrolysates also inhibit DPP-IV and carbohydrate-digesting enzymes relevant to glucose homeostasis. These mechanisms place catjang cowpea firmly in the scientific discussion on insulin-sensitizing legumes.

• DebilidadCientífico

  Animal studies consistently show that cowpea consumption reduces blood triglyceride concentrations. Isolated cowpea sprout proteins decreased triglycerides significantly in diabetic rats. Fermented and non-fermented V. unguiculata both positively affected plasma triglyceride levels in vivo.

• DislocaciónTradicional

  Cowpea has traditional use in African and South Asian folk medicine for managing digestive issues including abdominal discomfort. In Ayurveda, it is noted to improve intestinal motility and gastrointestinal balance. These are documented traditional applications without clinical trial evidence.

• Dolor AbdominalTradicional

  Traditional use of cowpea for treating stubborn boils and skin abscesses is documented in ethnobotanical literature from Africa and Asia. Leaf and seed poultices are applied topically to skin infections. In vitro antimicrobial data provides modest biological plausibility.

• AbscesosTradicional

  Cowpea flour is traditionally used in Ayurvedic practice as a topical face mask ingredient for acne and skin pigmentation. This represents documented traditional use without supporting clinical trial data.

• HipotensiónTradicional

  Cowpea is traditionally used for hypertension in African and South Asian folk medicine, documented in ethnobotanical sources. Scientific literature notes antihypertensive potential attributable to bioactive peptides and potassium content, but no dedicated human clinical trial has confirmed this.

• ArtritisTradicional

  The roots of Vigna unguiculata (the cowpea species to which catjang belongs) are traditionally used to treat constipation across African traditional medicine systems. This is documented in multiple ethnobotanical and botanical databases. No controlled human clinical trial has validated this use.

• Antojos de grasaTradicional

  Cowpea roots are traditionally used for epilepsy in African traditional medicine, documented by Kew Science and ethnobotanical literature. No human clinical trial has validated this use, and no mechanistic data is available for anticonvulsant activity.

• Paro CardíacoTradicional

  Traditional documentation of cowpea use for dysmenorrhea and menstrual cycle discomfort exists in African and Asian ethnobotanical records. The Heliyon/PMC 2024 review lists dysmenorrhea among traditional uses of Vigna unguiculata. No clinical evidence is available.

• Daño del CartílagoTradicional

  Cowpea is described as mildly diuretic in the Ayurvedic tradition and has been used in folk medicine to manage mild edema, reflecting traditional recognition of kidney relevance. No human clinical evidence for kidney-specific protective effects has been found.

• DifteriaTradicional

  Cowpea leaves and seeds are traditionally applied as poultices to skin infections and wounds in African traditional medicine, documented by Kew Science. The antimicrobial properties of leaf extracts offer partial scientific support for this topical use.
