Black Chinese wolfberry extract

Plant extracts Blackcurrant extract is an active substance extracted from blackcurrant fruit. It is rich in pigments, especially anthocyanins, which have multiple pharmacological activities such as promoting rhodopsin resynthesis, improving circulation, anti-ulcer, and anti-inflammatory, and can significantly improve eye fatigue. It is also rich in unsaturated fatty acids, among which linoleic acid has the highest content, which has the effects of lowering blood pressure, blood lipids and anti-atherosclerosis. It can also inhibit platelet aggregation, lower serum cholesterol, increase linoleic acid synthesis and soften blood vessels. It is a good therapeutic agent for cardiovascular diseases. Because blackcurrant extract has many unique chemical components, it has very important applications in the beverage industry and medicine. It is a high-quality raw material for brewing, extracting natural pigments, and producing cosmetics, medicines and foods. This information is edited and compiled by Xiangyun of Che

Pharmacological effects 1. Anti-tumor effect Blackcurrant water extract inhibits the growth of human esophageal cancer cell line ECa109 by inducing cell apoptosis, while having no effect on the survival and protein synthesis of normal liver cells, thus showing a strong anti-cancer effect. Blackcurrant fruit contains phenolic compound retrogallic acid (Ellagic acid). Guad-alupe Loarca-Pina used Salmonella microsystem assay to detect the ability of retrogallic acid to resist aflatoxin B1. The results showed that retrogallic acid has a significant inhibitory effect on the mutagenicity of aflatoxin B1, proving its anti-cancer activity. 2. Antioxidant effect Anthocyanins and phenolic components in blackcurrant extracts have antioxidant activity, which depends on the number, position and degree of conjugation of hydroxyl groups, as well as the presence of charge-supplying and charge-withdrawing groups in the ring structure. Anthocyanins have strong antioxidant activity, which can reduce the risk of atherosclerosi
