Tannic Acid
Tannic acid is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound with astringent, antioxidant, and anti-angiogenic properties, derived from plant galls and bark. It acts by precipitating proteins, chelating metal ions, and inhibiting various enzymes, and has been investigated for potential roles in managing age-related macular degeneration and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease through its antioxidant and amyloid-inhibiting effects. Clinically, it has been used topically as an astringent and in tanning wound surfaces.
