Burdock Root Extract

Introduction of Burdock Root Extract:

Burdock extract is an active ingredient extracted from the dry root and fruit of Arctium lappa L., a plant of the Compositae family, and contains polyphenols (such as chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, etc.), Chemicalbook flavonoids (such as quercetin, isoflavones, gold Isoflavones, chickpein A), glycosides (such as nobiletin, hesperidin, rutin), lignans (arctiin and aglycon), polysaccharides and other ingredients.

Specification of Burdock Root Extract

Benefits of Burdock Root Extract:

1. Anti-fatigue effect

Burdock root extract can improve the liver glycogen reserve and blood lactic acid clearance ability of mice, stimulate cell proliferation, enhance cell vitality, promote body growth, improve endurance and physical strength; it can also increase the basal metabolic rate to ensure energy supply to enhance endurance , physical strength and energy, has obvious anti-fatigue effect. Studies have shown that arctiin has the anti-fatigue effect in burdock, which can significantly increase the blood testosterone content and decrease the blood cortisol content of training rats, and prolong the time for rats to run on the treadmill to exhaustion.

2. Anti-aging effect

Burdock has significant free radical scavenging and antioxidant capacity, can significantly increase the activity of SOD in liver tissue and serum, reduce the level of MDA in the body, reduce cell damage and remove deposited aging metabolites, and play an anti-aging role.

3. Anti-tumor

Studies have shown that arcticin can inhibit the activity of phosphofructosylase in cancer cells, and arctigenin can also effectively inhibit the expression of heat shock proteins in cancer cells, thereby helping to kill cancer cells in hyperthermia therapy for cancer.

4. Antibacterial

Antiviral research has found that burdock root extract polyacetylenes can play a very good antibacterial and antifungal effect. When chlorogenic acid reaches a certain concentration, it will also have a certain inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus.

5. Liver protection

The aqueous extract of burdock root has a protective effect on the liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride or acetaminophen in mice. It can reduce the levels of SCOT and SGPT in a dose-dependent manner, and reduce the degree of liver injury from histopathology. The aqueous extract of burdock root also has a protective effect on a mouse model of chronic alcoholism-induced liver injury aggravated by carbon tetrachloride.

6. Blood lipid lowering effect

The water extract of Arctium Fructus can significantly reduce the levels of total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) in model rats, and can effectively increase the activities of rat plasma total esterase (PHPA) and lipoprotein esterase (LPL), significantly improving The level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) in rats shows that Arctium Fructus mainly plays a role in lowering blood lipids by increasing the level of plasma HDL-c in rats and improving the activity of LPL enzymes.

7. Antioxidant effect

The ability of burdock root ethanol extract to scavenge superoxide anion free radicals and hydroxyl free radicals increases with the increase of concentration, and the ability of burdock root ethanol extract to scavenge free radicals is stronger than that of burdock water extract.

8. Anti-diabetic effect

The total lignans in burdock fruit can significantly reduce the blood sugar level and the content of serum insulin and high-density lipoprotein in the diabetic group, and can increase the content of total cholesterol and triglyceride, which proves that it can prevent the occurrence of diabetic complications.
