Butterfly Pea’ (Clitoria ternatea) is an amazing brain-boosting herb native to tropical equatorial Asia. A traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, Clitoria Ternatea has been consumed for centuries as a memory enhancer, brain booster, anti-stress, and calmative agent.
A study found that petals of the butterfly pea flowers contain flavonol glycosides, mainly kaempferol, myricetin, and quercetin. Other chemical constituents that contribute to the tea's pharmacological effects include phenols, saponins, anthocyanins, flavanols, and triterpenoids. This host of powerful, bioavailable nutrients makes butterfly pea flowers attributable to an array of potential health benefits from improved digestion to mood and mental health to anti-cancer.
