Eucommia Leaf Extract is a concentrated form of active components extracted from the leaves of the Eucommia ulmoides tree. It is primarily produced using dried leaves as raw material, refined through alcohol extraction and modern separation techniques (resin adsorption).
This extract emphasizes sustainable utilization and is rich in characteristic components such as chlorogenic acid, geniposidic acid, flavonoids, and Eucommia polysaccharides, with chlorogenic acid content typically being higher.
Eucommia Leaf Extract possesses various physiological regulatory functions: Firstly, its high content of chlorogenic acid and flavonoids provides clear antioxidant and free radical scavenging capabilities, helping to delay cellular aging. Secondly, components like geniposidic acid can mildly regulate angiotensin-converting enzyme activity, assisting in maintaining stable blood pressure.
Thirdly, it supports bone and joint health by promoting collagen synthesis and enhancing osteoblast activity. Fourthly, it has anti-fatigue and immune-regulating effects. Fifthly, studies indicate its potential to improve abnormal blood lipid levels and blood glucose fluctuations. Overall, its effects are milder than those of Eucommia bark extract, making it suitable for long-term health maintenance and conditioning.
In the health product and functional food sectors, Eucommia Leaf Extract is often used as a core ingredient in capsules, tablets, or solid beverages aimed at assisting with blood pressure regulation, providing antioxidant benefits, and increasing bone density. In the food industry, it can be used to develop health-claim beverages such as teas, fermented drinks, or tablet candies.
In the cosmetics industry, leveraging its antioxidant and collagen-promoting properties, it is commonly added to anti-aging and skin-firming skincare products. Furthermore, in the animal feed sector, it serves as a natural plant-based additive to improve the antioxidant status and bone development of livestock and poultry. In recent years, with the rise of green consumption, its application in plant-based health products has also become increasingly widespread.
