Plant growth regulator, alfalfa

In animal studies, a mixture of high molecular weight primary alcohols isolated from beeswax with triacontanol as the main constituent, antioxidant, antiperoxidative, anti-inflammatory, antiulcerogenic, gastroprotective, and anticolitis activities were shown. Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies of the mixture have also demonstrated antioxidant and antiperoxidative activity. Triacontanol, also known as myricyl alcohol, has also shown antiperoxidative activity and is a plant growth regulator that increases yields of tomato, cucumber, and lettuce (see alfalfa).
