Introduction And Ingredient Characteristics Of Schisandra Extract
Introduction
Schisandra extract is a substance containing multiple active ingredients obtained through extraction process using the dried mature fruits of Schisandra chinensis or Schisandra sphenanthera of the Magnoliaceae family as raw materials. Its core ingredients include Schisandra lignans, polysaccharides and organic acids. It has significant multiple biological activities such as liver protection, anti-oxidation, anti-fatigue, immune regulation and anti-aging. As a natural medicine and functional food raw material, it is widely used in the fields of medicine, health products and cosmetics. Its more potential effects and mechanisms of action will be revealed, providing more protection for human health.
Active ingredients
● Lignans: It is the main active ingredient of Schisandra extract, such as Schisandrin A, Schisandrin B, Schisandrin A, Schisandrin B, Schisandrin C, Schisandrin A, etc., which have multiple pharmacological effects such as liver protection and anti-oxidation.
● Volatile oil: It contains a variety of volatile oils such as pinene, which has certain antibacterial effects.
● Organic acids: including citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, etc., which can participate in the body's metabolism.
● Polysaccharides: have immunomodulatory effects and can enhance the body's immunity.
Functions of Schisandra Extract
● Enhance immunity: can enhance the body's immune function, improve resistance to pathogens, and have anti-allergic effects. By promoting lymphocyte proliferation and antibody production, it enhances the body's nonspecific immune defense ability.
● Liver protection function: lignans in Schisandra extract, such as Schisandrin A and Schisandrin B, can effectively protect liver cells from chemical poisons, reduce transaminase levels, and improve liver function. These ingredients reduce liver damage by promoting glycogen synthesis and decomposition and enhancing liver detoxification enzyme activity.
● Central nervous system regulation: has sedative, tranquilizing, and analgesic effects, can prolong sleep time, improve sleep quality, and relieve anxiety and stress.
● Cardiovascular system support function: can dilate blood vessels, increase blood flow to the heart and brain, and help improve hypertension and myocardial damage. Its cardiotonic effect can enhance myocardial contractility, improve heart function, and has a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on cardiovascular system diseases.
● Antioxidant and anti-aging functions: lignans and other ingredients in Schisandra Extract have strong antioxidant effects, can scavenge free radicals, inhibit lipid peroxidation, thereby protecting cells from oxidative damage and delaying the aging process.
Antioxidant mechanism of Schisandra Extract
Scavenging free radicals
Ingredients such as Schisandra B and Schisandra polysaccharides can effectively scavenge hydroxyl free radicals, superoxide anion free radicals, DPPH free radicals, etc., and reduce the damage of oxidative stress to cells.
Improve the activity of antioxidant enzymes
It can increase the content and activity of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) in the body, and enhance the antioxidant capacity of human cells.
Inhibit lipid peroxidation
It can prevent the generation of free radicals in the human body, accelerate the metabolism of free radicals in the human body, reduce lipid peroxidation, and delay the aging of the body.
Chelating metal ions
The polyphenol components in the extract can chelate metal ions, such as iron and copper, to reduce the free radical generation reaction catalyzed by metal ions, thereby reducing the level of oxidative stress. Metal ions play a catalytic role in the generation of free radicals. By chelating these metal ions, the generation of free radicals can be reduced.
Application
Food
It can be used as a food additive to develop functional foods, such as antioxidant beverages, anti-fatigue foods, and health foods that enhance immunity. In addition, Schisandra extract can also be used to improve the flavor and taste of food.
Health food
Due to its antioxidant, anti-fatigue, and immune-enhancing effects, Schisandra extract is widely used in the field of health products, such as anti-aging health products, memory-enhancing health products, and sleep-improving health products. These health products are designed to improve human health, prevent diseases, and improve the quality of life.
Cosmetics
The antioxidant components in the extract can effectively resist skin aging, promote skin metabolism, and enhance skin elasticity and luster. Therefore, it is widely used in cosmetics, such as anti-aging skin care products, whitening products, moisturizing products, etc.
Medicine
Schisandra extract is mainly used in the field of medicine to treat hepatitis, liver damage, neurasthenia, insomnia and other diseases.
