What is Hovenia Dulcis Extract?   

Hovenia dulcis extract is an active ingredient powder obtained from the dried, mature seeds of the Hovenia dulcis plant (family Rhamnaceae) through water extraction, alcohol extraction, or modern extraction techniques. Hovenia dulcis, also known as Japanese raisin tree fruit or longevity fruit, is neutral in nature and sweet in taste, and enters the stomach meridian. It has been hailed as a "holy medicine for relieving hangovers" since ancient times. Modern scientific research has confirmed that its extract is rich in flavonoids (total flavonoid content can reach 50-60%), triterpenoid saponins, polysaccharides, and other active ingredients, possessing multiple pharmacological effects such as relieving hangovers, protecting the liver, anti-oxidation, anti-fatigue, and regulating metabolism.

Feature

Hangover Relief and Liver Protection: Hovenia dulcis extract accelerates ethanol metabolism, inhibits ADH and ALDH activity, and reduces acetaldehyde accumulation in the body, thus effectively relieving hangovers. Simultaneously, it can reduce liver collagen fiber hyperplasia. Its total flavonoid glycosides can be used to prevent and treat acute and chronic hepatitis, and are a core ingredient in hangover relief products.

Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Effects: Flavonoid components in the extract (such as myricetin and dihydromyricetin) effectively scavenge free radicals such as DPPH and ROS, significantly increase the activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, and reduce the production of malondialdehyde, a lipid peroxide.

Anti-fatigue and Enhanced Hypoxia Tolerance: Hovenia dulcis extract significantly prolongs the endurance time of mice during activities such as pole climbing and swimming, increases glycogen reserves, and reduces post-exercise lactic acid accumulation. Simultaneously, it prolongs survival time under conditions of normobaric hypoxia, sodium nitrite poisoning hypoxia, and acute cerebral ischemia-hypoxia, demonstrating significant anti-hypoxia activity.

Fatigue Relief and Enhanced Hypoxia Tolerance: Hovenia dulcis extract significantly prolongs the endurance time of mice during activities such as pole climbing and swimming, increases glycogen reserves, and reduces post-exercise lactic acid accumulation. Simultaneously, it prolongs survival time under conditions of normobaric hypoxia, sodium nitrite poisoning hypoxia, and acute cerebral ischemia-hypoxia, exhibiting significant anti-hypoxia activity.

Fatigue Relief and Hypoxia Tolerance: Neuroprotection and Improvement of Learning and Memory: Hovenia dulcis extract improved learning and memory abilities in D-galactose-induced subacute aging mice, shortening the latency to reach the platform and reducing the number of errors in the water maze test. Its mechanism may be related to increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes in brain tissue and reducing oxidative damage, potentially offering protection against alcohol- or β-amyloid-induced neurological damage.

Uric Acid-Lowering and Metabolic Regulation: Studies have shown that Hovenia dulcis extract inhibits xanthine oxidase, which is one of the key mechanisms by which it helps lower uric acid and improve hyperuricemia. Animal experiments also showed that it has hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic (lowering total cholesterol and triglycerides), and diuretic and antihypertensive effects.

Applications

Hangover Relief and Liver Protection Products: Used as a core ingredient in functional foods or medicines, in the production of hangover remedies, liver-protecting tablets, and health supplements to prevent alcoholic liver damage. Often combined with ingredients such as kudzu root and poria cocos to create hangover drinks or liver-protecting capsules to alleviate post-drinking discomfort and aid in improving liver function.

Anti-fatigue and Sports Nutrition Supplements: Added to energy drinks, sports recovery supplements, and special military medicines to enhance exercise endurance, relieve physical fatigue, and improve adaptation to high-altitude hypoxic environments.

Antioxidant and Anti-aging Health Supplements: Used as dietary supplements for daily health maintenance in middle-aged and elderly individuals. By scavenging free radicals and enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity, they delay aging and improve memory and cognitive function.

Uric Acid Lowering and Metabolic Syndrome Management: Used to develop herbal medicines or health supplements to help lower uric acid and improve gout symptoms, as well as functional foods to help regulate blood sugar and blood lipids.

Traditional Medicine and Medicinal Diet Applications: Used in traditional Chinese medicine clinical practice for decoctions taken internally to treat feverish thirst, vomiting, and difficulty in urination and defecation. In folk medicine, it is often used to make medicinal dishes such as Hovenia dulcis and kudzu root drink and Hovenia dulcis porridge, in order to detoxify alcohol or nourish yin and moisten the lungs.

Product Parameters

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
