What Does Buckwheat Extract Do?

Buckwheat extract is a substance extracted from the seeds of buckwheat, a plant of the Polygonaceae family. Buckwheat likes shade, humidity and coolness, and is mostly planted in high mountainous areas, with a vertical distribution of 1200~3500m above sea level. It has high nutritional value, especially the content of bioflavonoids is 13.5 times that of buckwheat.

This extract is mainly composed of flavonoids, and also contains rutin, trace elements and vitamins. It has a variety of physiological activities, including lowering blood sugar, blood lipids, anti-oxidation and scavenging free radicals, and has a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and other diseases.

It is a natural plant extract with a variety of health benefits and application values. It is widely used in health products and functional foods. With the increasing demand for healthy foods, the market prospect of buckwheat extract is very broad.

Health benefits of tartary buckwheat extract for human body

Lower blood sugar

The flavonoids in tartary buckwheat, especially tartary buckwheat flavonoids, can significantly reduce blood sugar levels. These flavonoids can enhance insulin secretion and improve insulin sensitivity, thereby helping to control blood sugar. In addition, the resistant starch in tartary buckwheat also helps lower blood sugar after meals.

Lower blood lipids

Can lower blood lipid levels, especially cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. This helps prevent the onset of cardiovascular disease.

Antioxidant

Buckwheat Extract is rich in antioxidants, such as flavonoids, which can neutralize free radicals in the body and reduce oxidative stress, thereby protecting cells from damage.

Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory‌

It has certain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, helping to fight infection and reduce inflammation.

Improve digestion‌

The dietary fiber contained in it can mechanically stimulate intestinal peristalsis, promote defecation, and have a laxative effect.

Enhance immunity

Rich in bioactive substances such as flavonoids, which help enhance immune system function.

Improve microcirculation

The flavonoids in tartary buckwheat help improve microcirculation, thereby improving blood flow and supporting the normal function of various parts of the body.

Improve sleep quality‌

It has a sedative and hypnotic effect, helping to relieve anxiety and tension and promote sleep‌

Assist in the treatment of diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia

Drugs are often used as auxiliary treatments for diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Not only does it improve a patient's biochemistry, it also reduces the need for medications.

What are the advantages of bitter buckwheat extract in lowering blood sugar and blood lipids?

The mechanism of lowering blood sugar is:

1. Regenerate damaged β-cells.

2. Protect insulin β cells from damage.

3. Increase insulin biosynthesis.

4. Promote the secretion of pancreatic β cells and improve blood sugar decomposition ability.

5. Enhance insulin activity and receptor affinity.

6. Inhibit aldose reductase.

7. Remove free radicals produced in the body due to glucose metabolism disorders.

The mechanism of lowering blood lipids is:

1. Improve microcirculation, anti-oxidation, reduce the oxidation of glycated low-density lipoprotein, and improve blood rheology disorders.

2. Reduce blood cholesterol and triacyl (trilipid) and reduce whole blood viscosity.

3. Inhibit the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein.

4. Inhibit the increase of peroxides in the body and the content of lipid peroxidation in the heart aorta.

5. Anti-peroxidation of serum lipoprotein.

6. Restore pancreatic islet function and inhibit the release of free fatty acids from lipid depots, thereby controlling the concentrations of triacyl fatty acids, free fatty acids, and β-protein in the blood.
