Abstract

Chenopodium album, commonly known as lamb's quarters or wild spinach, has long been recognized as a nutrient-dense plant, yet its applications in human and livestock nutrition and pharmaceutical sciences remain significantly underexplored. This article presents a novel perspective on the epigenetic, microbiome-modulating, metabolic-enhancing, and therapeutic roles of Chenopodium album. By leveraging its bioactive phytochemicals, high nutrient density, and adaptive growth properties, this research highlights how the Chenopodium album can be integrated into precision human diets, sustainable livestock feeding strategies, and pharmaceutical formulations to enhance health, immunity, and productivity. We propose a cutting-edge framework for its use in functional foods, livestock dietary supplementation, and drug development, setting the stage for a new era in nutrition and medicine.

藜草的营养价值及其在人畜健康方面的应用综述

藜草，俗称羊蹄草或野生菠菜，长期以来一直被认为是一种营养丰富的植物，但其在人类和牲畜营养和制药科学中的应用仍未得到充分的探索。本文介绍了Chenopodium album的表观遗传学，微生物组调节，代谢增强和治疗作用的新视角。通过利用其生物活性植物化学物质、高营养密度和适应性生长特性，本研究强调了如何将Chenopodium专辑整合到精确的人类饮食、可持续的牲畜饲养策略和药物配方中，以增强健康、免疫力和生产力。我们提出了一个用于功能食品，牲畜膳食补充剂和药物开发的前沿框架，为营养和医学的新时代奠定了基础。
