Preliminary study of the plant in the 1990s

In animal studies, Garcinia kola increased
the activities of the enzymes lactate

Garcinia kola has been used for centuries
to treat chest colds in traditional medicine,
but research has taken a look and found

from Igbinedion University in Nigeria, the
study shows that garcinia kola works by
dilating the alveolar ducts and sacs in the
lungs by improving the strength of the
fibers in the lung tissue. Garcinia kola's
beneficial lung properties are attributed to
its high antioxidant conten source: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garcinia_kola
