Bamboo leaf extract is extracted from the dried stems and leaves of the grass plant Lophatherum gracile, also known as Lophatherum gracile extract. The extract is rich in bioactive ingredients such as flavonoids (including vitamins, isovum), phenolic acids, amino acids and trace minerals, which are the basis of traditional and modern health benefits.
In traditional Chinese medicine, bamboo leaf extract has the effects of clearing heat, extinguishing fire and diuresis, and is used to relieve symptoms such as fever, restlessness, sore throat, and painful urination caused by fever and hyperactivity of heart fire (excessive heart fire). Modern research has noted its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce oxidative stress, regulate immune responses, and maintain urinary tract health by increasing urine volume and reducing fluid retention. The flavonoids in the extract are also believed to have potential effects in regulating blood pressure and improving cardiovascular health. In addition, mild diuresis helps detoxification and maintain kidney function.
Commercially, bamboo leaf extract is used in traditional Kampo preparations, functional beverages, nutritional supplements and other purposes. Most of the products sold on the market have the effects of clearing away heat and relieving fever (alleviating the summer heat), diuresis and cooling. It also uses years of experience in the use of traditional Chinese medicine and new scientific evidence on its bioactive compounds to add it to natural health products, aiming to promote urinary tract health, detoxification and body heat balance.
Bamboo leaf extract contains rich bamboo leaf flavonoids and other main active ingredients. Its biological activity and application value have attracted great attention in the fields of food, medicine, daily chemical industry, etc. From the perspective of functional characteristics, bamboo leaf flavonoids can regulate blood lipids, reduce blood viscosity, and protect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system. At the same time, it also has physiological effects such as improving immune function and eliminating fatigue. Due to its natural antibacterial, antiviral and deodorizing properties, it has unique advantages in preserving and improving food flavor.
In practical terms, the leaf extract of Bambusa chinensis has good performance as a multifunctional biological antioxidant. Its antioxidant capacity is equivalent to that of vitamin E (VE). Combined with vitamin C (VC) or isoVC, it can significantly reduce the nitrate/nitrite content in food, inhibit the formation of nitrosamines, and improve the safety of meat products. At the same time, the color, taste and water retention of meat products are improved, and the commercial value of meat products is also improved. In the field of winemaking, this extract can be used as a natural antioxidant to improve the nutritional value of wine and maintain its quality.
In addition, the application scope of Obesa leaf extract has expanded to multiple industries, and its active ingredients, as pharmaceutical intermediates, are important raw materials for the research and development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protection drugs. Among health foods and nutritional products, functional health foods that focus on adjusting metabolism and improving immunity are being developed. Due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, it is also used in high-end skin care product formulas that help skin aging and repair barriers. As a green feed additive, it can improve the health of livestock and poultry. In the beer industry, it is used as a special additive to optimize the flavor and stability of beer, reflecting the diverse value of functional ingredients extracted from natural plants in modern industry.
