What does eucommia ulmoides extract do?
Eucommia ulmoides extract is a dry product extracted from Eucommia ulmoides, a plant of the Eucommia genus of the Eucommia family. Eucommia ulmoides is a plant of the Eucommia family. The dried bark of the Eucommia tree can be used as medicine. When the bark is torn, there will be white, transparent silk connected, which is a distinct feature of Eucommia ulmoides. As a traditional Chinese medicinal material in my country, the main medicinal part of Eucommia ulmoides is the bark, but the extract may also contain components from other parts such as branches and leaves. Eucommia ulmoides extract is rich in a variety of active ingredients, including eucommia gum, alkaloids, organic acids, etc., among which chlorogenic acid is the main active ingredient in organic acids.
Eucommia ulmoides is listed as a top-grade product, with the effects of replenishing the middle and replenishing the essence, strengthening the bones and muscles, and calming the fetus. It is mainly used to treat kidney deficiency and low back pain, weak bones and muscles, pregnancy bleeding, fetal movement disorder, hypertension and other symptoms. Modern research extracts and separates Eucommia ulmoides, and goes deep into the study of active ingredients to obtain Eucommia ulmoides extract, which is an important raw material for industries such as health products, food, medicine, and cosmetics.
What are the functions of eucommia ulmoides extract?
Antibacterial and antiviral
Chlorogenic acid and other organic acid components show strong antibacterial and antiviral effects, which help to enhance the body's defense capabilities.
Enhance immunity
Some components in Eucommia ulmoides extract can promote macrophage activity, improve the body's defense against pathogens, and thus enhance immunity.
Antioxidant
Polyphenols in Eucommia extract have the effect of scavenging free radicals, which helps to fight oxidative stress damage and protect cells from oxidative damage.
Analgesic and anti-inflammatory
Eucommia ulmoides extract has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, and can reduce inflammatory manifestations such as tissue redness and swelling by regulating immune responses and inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators. Its active ingredients can inhibit pain conduction pathways, thereby relieving various types of pain.
Lowering blood pressure
Compounds in Eucommia extract can dilate peripheral blood vessels and reduce cardiac afterload, thereby achieving the purpose of stabilizing blood pressure.
Promote collagen synthesis
Eucommia extract can promote collagen synthesis and improve skin elasticity and firmness by activating the expression of genes related to collagen synthesis.
Prevent osteoporosis
Eucommia extract can affect stem cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, osteoblastic cell proliferation and bone formation; improve bone metabolism in osteoporosis models of castrated rats, increase bone density in osteoporosis model animals, reduce bone destruction, strengthen bone stability, and effectively prevent and treat osteoporosis; it has an intervention effect on bone density and body mass index in ovariectomized rats, and can prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis and obesity. Among them, lignans, cyclopentadiene ether terpenes, flavonoids and phenylpropanoids can play a role in the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by regulating estrogen levels, bone metabolism-related cytokines and the expression of osteoprotegerin, effectively preventing and treating osteoporosis.
Improve the health of livestock and poultry
In the field of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine, Eucommia bark and leaves are widely used as growth promoters for livestock and poultry. Experiments have shown that Eucommia bark, leaf extracts and Eucommia leaf powder can improve the health and production performance of livestock, poultry and fish, have a certain effect on improving the health of older chickens and delaying the decline in egg production, and have the potential to improve the quality of animal meat and eggs.
Feed mildew inhibitor
Eucommia leaf extract has the same effect as chemical mildew inhibitors as a feed mildew inhibitor, and has the potential to develop new antioxidants for feed.
What is the analgesic and anti-inflammatory mechanism ulmoides of Eucommia extract?
Analgesic mechanism
The active ingredients in Eucommia ulmoides extract have the effect of inhibiting nerve conduction or pain conduction pathways. These ingredients can affect the transmission of pain signals in nerve fibers, thereby reducing pain perception.
Inhibit the release of pain mediators: Eucommia ulmoides extract can inhibit the synthesis or release of some pain mediators in the body, which play an important role in the process of pain transmission.
Regulate neurotransmitters: Some ingredients may regulate the levels of neurotransmitters (such as dopamine, serotonin, etc.), which are closely related to pain perception.
Anti-inflammatory effect Indirect analgesia: Through its anti-inflammatory effect, it reduces tissue damage and pain stimulation caused by inflammation, thereby indirectly achieving analgesic effects.
Anti-inflammatory mechanism
Inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators: Eucommia extract can reduce the synthesis and release of inflammatory factors, such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, etc., which play a key role in inflammatory responses.
Regulate immune response: By regulating the activity and function of immune cells, such as enhancing the phagocytic ability of macrophages, the occurrence and development of inflammatory responses can be reduced.
Inhibit pro-inflammatory signaling pathways: Studies have shown that Eucommia extract can regulate the expression of signaling pathways such as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt, thereby inhibiting the activation of nuclear gene-kB (NF-kB) and inducing the activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-dependent heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), which play an important role in anti-inflammatory response.
Scavenging free radicals: The polyphenols in Eucommia extract have the ability to scavenge free radicals, which helps to reduce the damage of oxidative stress to cells, thereby reducing the inflammatory response.
What can eucommia ulmoides extract be used for?
Food industry
The food industry uses eucommia ulmoides extract, such as chlorogenic acid, as a natural additive to enhance the nutritional value and safety of products. Chlorogenic acid and other ingredients in Eucommia extract are also used to develop anti-aging cosmetics.
Beverage and food processing
Eucommia ulmoides extract is used to make various functional beverages and instant teas, such as Eucommia mineral tea, Eucommia solid beverage, etc.
Cosmetics
Ingredients such as geniposide and aucubin in Eucommia extract can promote collagen synthesis and are suitable for the development of anti-aging cosmetics. In addition, ingredients such as chlorogenic acid, quercetin and rutin are also used in sunscreen and skin care products due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Medicine and health products
Eucommia extract contains a variety of pharmacological ingredients such as chlorogenic acid, which has antibacterial, antihypertensive, and antiviral effects, and is suitable for the treatment of symptoms such as pregnancy bleeding, hypertension, and kidney deficiency and low back pain1. It is also used in the pharmaceutical and health care products industry as a raw material.
Feed and Animal Husbandry
Eucommia extract is used in the healthy breeding of livestock, poultry and aquatic products. Its chlorogenic acid, eucommia flavonoids and eucommia polysaccharides can improve the production performance of aquatic animals, improve immunity, and can be used as a feed additive to replace antibiotics.
Environmental Protection and Agriculture
Eucommia extract, as a feed mildew inhibitor, has the same effect as chemical mildew inhibitors and has the potential to develop new antioxidants.
