Neem (Azadirachta indica) is a medicinal tree native to India, known for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying properties. In supplements, neem is often used to support immune health and skin health, with some interest in its role in metabolic balance.
Though not directly associated with performance enhancement, neem may support overall wellness and recovery, especially in individuals prone to infections or inflammatory responses.
Its bitter compounds have been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for cleansing and detoxification.
