Burdock Root Extract Powder

What does burdock extract do?

Burdock Root Extract Powder is an active ingredient extracted from the dried roots and fruits of Arctiumlappa L., a plant of the Asteraceae family. Burdock is a biennial herb belonging to the Asteraceae family, which has a thick fleshy taproot. Burdock extract usually refers to the substance extracted from its dried roots, and its chemical components include arctiin, arctiin A, B, fatty oil, etc. These compounds give burdock extract a variety of pharmacological effects, such as diuretic and antipyretic, antibacterial effects, as well as the effects of dispersing wind-heat, clearing the lungs, clearing rash and detoxifying. Burdock extract is used as a common Chinese medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, which has the effects of dispersing wind-heat and detoxifying, and is suitable for treating symptoms such as colds, wind-heat, coughs, and sore throats.

It also contains polyphenols (such as chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, etc.), flavonoids (such as quercetin, isoflavones, genistein, chicorylin A), glycosides (such as nobiletin, hesperidin, rutin), lignans (arctilin and aglycones), polysaccharides and other ingredients. It has multiple pharmacological effects such as immunomodulation, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, liver protection, and treatment of erectile dysfunction. Polyphenols such as chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid have been used as active ingredients in medicines, health products, and cosmetics.

What are the functions?

Anti-inflammatory effect

Burdock Root Extract Powder such as burdock saponins have good anti-inflammatory activity and can significantly inhibit the inflammatory factor TNF-α, thereby reducing cellular inflammation.

Anti-diabetes

It can significantly reduce blood sugar, increase insulin levels, and play a role by lowering blood lipids and promoting insulin properties.

Antibacterial and antiviral

It has an inhibitory effect on a variety of bacteria and viruses, such as a variety of bacteria and viruses in the mouth, and HIV-1 virus.

Treat nephritis and protect the liver

The phenolic and glycoside components of burdock root can resist the activity of kidney inflammatory substances and effectively treat acute nephritis and chronic glomerulonephritis. It has a protective effect on liver damage, especially alcoholic damage.

Fat reduction

Burdock root can effectively reduce body fat, play a role in weight loss, and improve physiological indicators caused by obesity.

Diuretic and antipyretic

It has the effect of diuresis and antipyretic, and is suitable for symptoms such as wind-heat cold, cough, sore throat, etc.

Anti-aging

It contains antioxidant ingredients that can fight free radicals and help delay the cell aging process.

Antioxidant and anti-stress

It is rich in antioxidants, such as chlorogenic acid and luteolin, which can scavenge free radicals, reduce oxidative damage, and improve the body's antioxidant capacity. In addition, burdock extract can inhibit the release of pro-inflammatory factors and reduce inflammatory response.

Lowering blood sugar

Studies have shown that it can significantly lower blood sugar levels and is helpful for controlling blood sugar in diabetic patients.

Immunomodulation

The ingredients in it can enhance the body's immune function, improve lymphocyte transformation rate and macrophage phagocytosis.

Promote digestive health

Burdock is rich in cellulose, which helps promote gastrointestinal motility, improve constipation, and help lower cholesterol levels.

Regulate intestinal flora

The dietary fiber in it can promote the growth of probiotics and inhibit the proliferation of harmful bacteria, thereby reshaping the healthy intestinal flora structure. This regulatory effect helps improve emotional state and cognitive function.

Improve nervous system function

It can regulate the levels of neurotransmitters such as tryptamine (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) in the body, help relieve depression and anxiety symptoms, and also improve sleep quality and cognitive function.

Increase the richness and diversity of intestinal flora

It can significantly increase the richness and diversity of intestinal flora, showing its potential to regulate intestinal flora homeostasis. This effect may be attributed to the rich dietary fiber in burdock extract, which provides substrates for the growth of beneficial bacteria.

Regulate the composition of intestinal flora

It can regulate the composition of intestinal flora, specifically by increasing the number of beneficial bacteria (such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) and reducing the number of harmful bacteria (such as Escherichia coli and Bacteroides fragilis). This improvement in flora composition is associated with improved intestinal physiological functions, such as immune function and material metabolism.

Promotes the production of short-chain fatty acids

It can promote the production of short-chain fatty acids, such as butyrate, acetate, and propionate. These SCFAs have multiple physiological effects, including anti-inflammatory, improving intestinal barrier function, and regulating immune responses. The active ingredients in burdock extract, such as chicory oil and chlorogenic acid, indirectly increase the production of SCFAs by promoting the proliferation of probiotics.

Improves intestinal barrier function

It can improve the connection between intestinal cells by increasing the expression of tight junction proteins, such as ZO-1 and occludin. This enhancement of barrier function helps reduce the penetration of harmful substances in the intestine and prevents inflammatory responses and immune system disorders.

Inhibits intestinal pathogens

The sesquiterpenes and polyphenols in the extract have antibacterial and antiviral properties and can inhibit the growth of intestinal pathogens. These ingredients inhibit intestinal infections by destroying the cell membrane of pathogens, interfering with their metabolism, and inhibiting the production of virulence factors.

Regulates immune response

The polyphenols and isorhamnetin contained have anti-inflammatory properties and can reduce the release of proinflammatory cytokines. By inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway, regulating the balance of immune cells, and reducing chronic intestinal inflammation, it helps maintain intestinal homeostasis.

What can it be used for?

Food and health supplements

Contains a variety of compounds, such as burdock acid, aldehydes, polyacetylenes and polysaccharides, which may be used in food additives or health supplements to provide additional nutritional value and health benefits.

Medcine

Its various active ingredients, such as lignans and flavonoids, show antibacterial activity, which makes it a potential raw material in drug development for the development of new antibacterial drugs.
