Build muscle
Ursolic acid can increase muscle strength and reduce a laboratory marker of muscle damage.
Lose weight
Ursolic acid may help reduce body weight, BMI and waist circumference.
Diabetes
Ursolic acid can improve fasting blood glucose levels and insulin sensitivity.
Cancer research
Ursolic acid has not been proven to treat or prevent cancer. The potential effects of ursolic acid in cancer have only been studied in animals and cells.
It is worth noting that many substances have anti-cancer effects on cells, including completely toxic chemicals like bleach. This does not mean that they have any medical value.
Cardiovascular disease
Ursolic acid can reduce high blood pressure by lowering heart rate and having a diuretic effect.
However, there is also evidence that ursolic acid may be harmful to the cardiovascular system. An animal study found that ursolic acid may promote the formation of plaque in blood vessels. In addition, a different animal study showed that ursolic acid may make platelets more viscous and more likely to form clots.

Bone development
A cell study found that ursolic acid may stimulate the growth of osteoblasts, which are a special type of cells that play an important role in the process of bone formation.
Another study conducted in mice showed that ursolic acid can prevent the growth of osteoclasts, which are a special type of cells that help break down bone tissue.
Inflammation
Ursolic acid may block inflammation-related factors, such as NFkB, TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta.
According to animal studies, ursolic acid may help reduce inflammation in specific organs, such as the brain and liver.
Antibacterial activity
Preliminary studies using cell models have shown that ursolic acid may have antibacterial activity against more than a dozen different common bacterial strains.
An animal study found that ursolic acid may increase the survival rate of severely infected rats and may reduce lung damage.
Brain Injury
Some animal studies have tested the effect of ursolic acid after artificially inducing brain damage in mice. The results indicate that ursolic acid may help protect brain cells in mice after brain injury.
Liver damage
In a study on rats, researchers found that ursolic acid can increase antioxidant levels and reduce laboratory markers related to alcohol-induced liver damage.
Other animal studies have shown that ursolic acid can reduce the accumulation of fat in the liver.
Studies on mice and pigs have shown that ursolic acid may also contribute to animal liver regeneration and liver transplantation.
Anxiety
Some mouse studies have shown that ursolic acid may reduce anxiety during animal behavior testing.
Depression
Based on animal behavior tests for evaluating depression, mouse studies have shown that ursolic acid may have an antidepressant-like effect.
