Luteolin is a natural flavonoid compound widely found in various plants such as chrysanthemums, celery, broccoli, and thyme. Its chemical name is 3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone, with the molecular formula C₁₅H₁₀O₆. At room temperature, luteolin appears as a yellow crystalline powder, slightly soluble in water but easily soluble in organic solvents. As an important plant secondary metabolite, it serves not only as a pigment and defensive substance in plants but also as a functional component of significant interest in modern medicine and nutrition. It is commonly purified from plant materials through alcohol extraction and chromatographic separation.
Luteolin exhibits a wide range of biological activities and pharmacological effects. Its potent antioxidant capacity scavenges free radicals, mitigating cellular damage caused by oxidative stress. Its anti-inflammatory effects, achieved by inhibiting inflammatory pathways such as NF-κB, help alleviate chronic inflammation-related diseases. Studies show that luteolin also possesses antitumor activity, inducing apoptosis in cancer cells and inhibiting their metastasis. Its neuroprotective effects can slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, luteolin demonstrates potential value in anti-allergy, antiviral, metabolic syndrome improvement, and cardiovascular protection, making it a multi-target natural active substance.
In the pharmaceutical field, luteolin is used in the development of anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and neuroprotective drugs. In health products, it serves as a functional ingredient for antioxidant and immunomodulatory purposes. The food industry employs it as a natural antioxidant to preserve oils and health foods. The cosmetics industry incorporates it into anti-aging, anti-allergy, and skin-brightening products. Additionally, it is used as a health additive in animal feed and as a lead compound for plant stimulants or green pesticides in agriculture. With advancements in technologies such as nano-delivery systems, its application prospects in precision nutrition and therapy continue to expand.
Q: What is the source and purity of your Luteolin?
Our Luteolin is a natural flavonoid purified from select botanical raw materials. It features a minimum purity of 98% (HPLC) and appears as a fine yellow powder.
Q: Is this product genetically modified or irradiated?
No. Our Luteolin is strictly certified as Non-GMO and Non-Irradiated, ensuring it remains highly safe and meets clean-label requirements.
Q: What are the primary health and cosmetic benefits of Luteolin?
Luteolin acts as a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. In dietary supplements, it supports immune and neural health. In cosmetics, it is widely utilized for its anti-aging, anti-allergy, and skin-brightening properties.
Q: What is the particle size of your Luteolin powder?
Our powder is finely milled with 98% of the particles passing through an 80-mesh screen, making it easy to formulate into capsules, tablets, or topical solutions.
Q: How should Luteolin be packaged and stored to ensure shelf stability?
It should be kept in its original packaging (typically 1kg foil bags or 25kg drums), protected from direct light and moisture. The optimal storage temperature is between 10°C and 25°C, providing a shelf life of 24 months.
