What is Flos Lonicerae Extract?
Flos lonicera extract powder is an extract that needs to be stored in a dry and cool place. It is extracted from the natural plant honeysuckle, and the main ingredient is chlorogenic acid, which has clinical antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Flos lonicera extract powder is a light greenish yellow to tawny powder in color and can be used as a raw material for medicines, health care products, and cosmetics. Its effect is reflected in the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial aspects.
Core ingredients
Our Flos Lonicerae Extract is based on its two core active ingredients - chlorogenic acids and flavonoids - as key quality control indicators.
- Chlorogenic acid is one of the most well-known active substances in honeysuckle, and a large number of modern pharmacological studies have confirmed its broad-spectrum antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, and free radical scavenging activities. According to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and multiple studies, the content of chlorogenic acid is often used as the core standard for evaluating the quality of honeysuckle.
- Flavonoids, such as Luteolin and Lonicerain, are also important material bases for honeysuckle to exert its health benefits. They show great potential in anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and cardiovascular protection.
Is Flos Lonicerae Extract Effective? How Does It Work?
The health benefits of Flos Lonicerae Extract stem from its rich variety of bioactive ingredients, especially chlorogenic acids and flavonoids. Modern science has gradually revealed the complex mechanisms of synergistic effects and multi-target interventions of these components through a large number of in vivo, in vitro experiments, and clinical studies, providing a solid scientific basis for their application in the field of dietary supplements.
health benefits of Flos Lonicerae Extract
1. Strong antioxidant and free radical scavenging abilities
The phenolic compounds such as chlorogenic acid and luteolin in honeysuckle contain multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups in their molecular structure, making them natural free radical scavengers.
2. Immune regulation and anti-inflammatory effects
Chlorogenic acid and other components can inhibit the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX), thereby reducing the production of key inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs).
3. Broad-spectrum antibacterial and antiviral activity
Organic acid components such as chlorogenic acid and isochlorogenic acid are considered to be its main antibacterial substances.
4. Potential metabolic health support
The active ingredients in honeysuckle extract may regulate blood glucose and blood lipids through various pathways, such as inhibiting the activity of alpha-glucosidase to delay carbohydrate absorption, or improving insulin sensitivity by regulating related signaling pathways.
