What Is polygonatum extract powder good for?

Polygonatum extract is a brown-yellow powder made from the dried rhizomes of polygonatum, a plant of the lily family, through extraction, filtration, concentration, and drying. Polygonatum is a common Chinese herbal medicine belonging to the lily family. It contains rich polygonatum polysaccharides, amino acids, steroidal saponins and other ingredients, which have given polygonatum extract a variety of pharmacological effects and health benefits in recent years. This article will explore the potential benefits of polygonatum extract powder and answer some common questions about its uses.

What are the health benefits of polygonatum extract?

Improve immunity: Polygonatum sibiricum can enhance the body's immune function, promote the activity of immune cells, improve resistance, and help prevent infection and disease.

Regulate blood sugar and lower blood lipids: Polygonatum sibiricum has a regulating effect on blood sugar and blood lipids. Its polysaccharide elements can inhibit the production of other elements, forming a high medical development value, thereby helping to control blood sugar and lower blood lipids.

Female health care: In traditional Chinese medicine, it is widely used in female health care, especially for irregular menstruation, scanty menstruation, and postpartum care.

Antioxidant: Studies have found that after entering the body, Polygonatum sibiricum can play a certain antioxidant role, which greatly improves the activity of superoxide dismutase in the liver and makes the skin younger and younger. For young people who stay up late for a long time and have high work pressure, they often show signs of premature aging, such as a lot of white hair, sallow skin, and weak limbs in their twenties and thirties. Appropriate consumption of Polygonatum sibiricum can nourish the spleen, lungs, and kidneys, allowing the body to achieve a balance of yin and yang. For women, while replenishing qi and blood, Polygonatum odoratum can also resist oxidation, thus achieving the effect of beauty and skin care.

Anti-aging: Polygonatum odoratum polysaccharide, the main biologically active ingredient of Polygonatum odoratum, has significant antioxidant, anti-fatigue, and anti-collective aging effects. Cell aging is often accompanied by the production of aging-related secretory phenotypes, which are mainly composed of a series of growth factors, chemokines and inflammatory factors, among which inflammatory factors such as IL-6 and TNF-α are closely involved in the aging process. Many studies have shown that Polygonatum odoratum polysaccharide can affect the expression of IL-6 and TNF-Α, indicating that Polygonatum odoratum polysaccharide affects the aging process of cells by intervening in the aging-related secretory phenotype, thereby achieving an anti-aging effect.

Anti-aging mechanism of polygonatum extract

With the increase of age, the level of free radicals in the body continues to increase or the lack of antioxidants will cause lipid peroxidation, which will damage the cell membrane function and cause organelle function disorders, thus leading to the aging of the body. The inflammatory aging theory believes that immune aging is an important part of the aging process of organisms, among which the imbalance of pro-inflammatory factors and anti-inflammatory factors is an important cause of aging.

Studies have found that there are anti-aging active ingredients in the extracts and monomer compounds of Polygonatum sibiricum, which can inhibit the generation of spontaneous or induced lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde, have a direct scavenging effect on oxygen free radicals, and prevent the decrease of superoxide dismutase SOD and glutathione peroxidase GSH-Px content.

At the same time, studies have confirmed that Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharides can also significantly reduce the level of pro-inflammatory factor interleukin-6 in cells and inhibit the expression and secretion of NF-κB, a protein related to the inflammatory pathway.

Extraction method

Solvent extraction method: Solvent extraction method is to use solvent (such as ethanol, water, etc.) to dissolve the effective ingredients in Polygonatum sibiricum, and then obtain the extract through filtering, concentration and other steps. This method is easy to operate and relatively low in cost. It is one of the most widely used extraction methods.

Ultrasonic extraction method: Ultrasonic extraction method uses the mechanical vibration of ultrasound to promote the material transfer between Polygonatum sibiricum and solvent and improve the extraction efficiency. This method has the advantages of short extraction time and high efficiency.

Other extraction methods: In addition to solvent extraction and ultrasonic extraction, there are also microwave extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, distillation extraction, etc. These methods have their own advantages and disadvantages and are suitable for different extraction needs.

How is polygonatum extract used in cosmetics?

It is mainly used as a skin conditioner and antioxidant in cosmetics, with a risk factor of , and a high safety level.

Clinical application studies have confirmed that Polygonatum sibiricum extract has a good promoting effect on collagen proliferation in the culture of fibroblasts, etc., can enhance the metabolism of the dermis of the skin, and has antioxidant properties. It can be used in skin-rejuvenating and anti-wrinkle cosmetics; it has a promoting effect on the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells, can strengthen and solidify capillaries, and can be used in cosmetics for preventing and treating red blood streaks.

At present, there are many cosmetics on the market with Polygonatum sibiricum extract as the main ingredient, including facial masks, moisturizing toners, creams, essences, eye creams and other categories, focusing on plant skin care, hydration and moisturizing, and mild and non-irritating.
