Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) extract, containing eriodictyol-6-C-β-d-glucoside as the active component, stimulates exocrine glands via the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor

We previously discovered that rooibos extract activates the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R), a key component of exocrine secretion.
