Protocatechuic Acid Powder

What is Protocatechuic Acid Powder?    

Feature

Potential Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Properties:Protocatechuic acid directly scavenge free radicals and activates the Nrf2 pathway, enhancing the activity of endogenous antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase. It alleviates chronic inflammation by inhibiting NF-κB and MAPK inflammatory signaling, reducing the release of pro-inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6.

Neuroprotective and Cognitive Improvement: This component can cross the blood-brain barrier, inhibiting β-amyloid aggregation and tau protein hyperphosphorylation, thus reducing Alzheimer's disease-related pathological damage. It promotes the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, improving synaptic plasticity and memory function.

Cardiovascular and Metabolic Regulation: Protocatechuic acid improves vascular endothelial function, inhibits abnormal platelet aggregation, and reduces the risk of atherosclerosis by regulating lipid metabolism. It enhances insulin sensitivity, helps control blood sugar, and has potential protective effects against diabetic complications.

Antibacterial and Antifibrotic Properties: It has inhibitory effects on common pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, with the mechanism related to the disruption of bacterial biofilms. It can inhibit the activation of myofibroblasts mediated by transforming growth factor-β1 and delay the fibrosis process in organs such as the liver and lungs.

Applications

Functional Foods and Health Supplements: Added to beverages and dietary supplements as antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients to help combat oxidative stress damage. Used in brain health or metabolic health products to improve cognitive function and assist in regulating blood sugar and lipids.

Skincare and Oral Care: Used as an active ingredient in anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and soothing skincare products to reduce photoaging and sensitivity symptoms. Used in oral care products such as toothpaste and mouthwash to inhibit plaque and gingivitis.

Pharmaceutical Research and Development: Used as a lead compound in the development of innovative drugs for neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic syndrome. Used in traditional Chinese medicine formulas to enhance the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and promoting blood circulation (e.g., in combination with Danshen).

Agriculture and Food Preservation: Used as a plant growth regulator or natural preservative for postharvest preservation of fruits and vegetables and to enhance crop stress resistance. Its potential to improve gut health and production performance in animal feed is being investigated.

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
