What Is Ilex Latifolia Thunb. Extract?

The pure plant ingredient comes from the leaves of Broadleaf Holly, which is also known as Kudingcha in some cultures. This strong extract deals with important problems that formulators face every day.

When working with raw plant materials, you've probably run into bioactive concentrations that weren't what they seemed to be. Our standardised extraction method gets rid of this uncertainty, so every batch has the same amount of potency.

There are a lot of triterpenoid saponins, polyphenols, chlorogenic acids, and flavonoids in the extract, such as rutin and quercetin. The cardiovascular and metabolic health benefits of these bioactive substances are increased when they are combined.

Modern extraction technology, such as solvent extraction, concentration, and spray drying systems, are used in our manufacturing plant. This makes sure that you get an ingredient that can withstand heat and keep its bioactivity during the production process.

Technical Properties & Specifications

When you know the technical profile, you can confidently create. Our product has predictable performance qualities that are necessary for business use.

The extract is a fine, hygroscopic powder that ranges in colour from yellowish brown to dark brown. It is very stable at temperatures up to 80°C. Because of this property, it can be used in a variety of manufacturing methods without losing its bioactive quality.

Professional Applications Across Industries

How you use this flexible plant extract will depend on what you need to make. We've seen implementations work well in a number of business settings.

Metabolic Health Supplements

The extract has been shown to be effective for formulators working on hyperlipidaemia and glucose control. It keeps its bioactivity even when the pH levels in the gut change a lot, so your finished goods will always work the same way.

Polyphenolic substances, especially chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid, help keep blood pressure and lipid levels in a healthy range. These benefits, backed by study, will appeal to your customers who want to keep their hearts healthy.

Development of Functional Beverages

RTD tea makers and health shot creators choose our extract because it dissolves and clears up so well in cold water. These qualities are very important for making sure that liquid formulas stay stable over time.

The antioxidant profile makes functional drinks much more valuable without changing how they look or taste. It will be easy for your production team to work with you when making drinks.

Dermaceutical Formulations

Because it protects against photoaging and lipid peroxidation, this ingredient is used by cosmetic scientists in anti-aging creams and lotions. It always works the same way, even in complicated emulsion systems with lots of different detergents and preservatives.

The antioxidants help the skin age in a healthy way and give formulators a natural alternative to synthetic chemicals. Your skin care line gets an added benefit from botanicals that have been proven to work by science.

Comprehensive Quality Control System

You need assurance that every batch meets exacting standards. Our quality control protocols eliminate uncertainty from your supply chain.

Scientific Foundation & Bioactive Components

Knowing the science behind the extract can help you show your customers how valuable it is. Our approach is based on study, so you know you're working with real ingredients.

Some of the most important beneficial ingredients are ilex saponins, which help keep your metabolism healthy. Polyphenolic substances, such as chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid, protect cells from damage and help the heart.

Flavonoids, especially rutin and quercetin, help keep blood vessels healthy and provide extra antioxidant benefits. When these molecules work together, they make a full bioactive profile.

As a public project of the Changsha National Biomedical Industrial Base, our HerbEx study Center supports ongoing study into how to get the most out of extraction and how to make new uses for herbs. This technical team of 42 people, including one doctoral advisor and five PhD holders, works to advance the study of botanical extracts.

Kudingcha has been used for hundreds of years in Asian traditional medicine to clear up heat and improve eyes. These old uses are supported by modern study using scientific methods, which gives you evidence-based marketing support.
