lotus leaf extract, also known as Nuciferine; It is extracted from sun-dried and crushed lotus leaves by a series of methods such as cellulase pretreatment, dilute hydrochloric acid extraction, ultrasonic-assisted extraction and chloroform extraction. This product is derived from the dried leaves of the water lily family. Harvested in summer and autumn, when it is dried in seven or eight months, the petiole is removed, folded into a semicircle or folded fan, and dried. It is mainly produced in Hunan, Hubei, Fujian and Jiangsu. The main chemical components are lotus leaf alkaloids, lotus leaf flavonoids, citric acid, oxalic acid, etc.
Product source and raw material guarantee
Plant origin：
Core raw material：Lotus leaves are grown organically in China's high-quality production areas (Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangsu), harvested in summer and autumn, and processed through traditional techniques such as sun drying and removing stems
Part of extraction：Dried leaves of Nelumbo nucifera, harvested at standardized maturity to ensure peak alkaloid content
Definition and core components
Nuciferine is an aporphine-type alkaloid extracted from lotus leaves by [ultrasonic assisted extraction/low temperature countercurrent extraction] process. The key parameters
Molecular formula：C₁₉H₂₁NO₂
CAS number：475-83-2
Specification：1%-98%（Tested by HPLC，customizable）
Collaborative ingredients：
Lotus leaf flavonoids: Enhanced antioxidant activity
Isophylline: An auxiliary component in regulating lipid metabolism
Weight Management and Metabolic Regulation
Inhibit lipase activity and reduce dietary fat absorption by 30% (in vitro experiment)
Activate the AMPK pathway and accelerate fat decomposition (animal experiments show that body fat rate is reduced by 18%)
Cardiovascular health support
Reduce LDL cholesterol by 15% and improve arterial elasticity (clinical double-blind trial, n=100)
Inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent thrombosis
Antiocidant and anti-inflammatory
The free radical scavenging efficiency is 5 times higher than that of vitamin C, delaying skin photoaging (wrinkles reduced by 22%)
Inhibits the expression of COX-2 inflammatory factors and relieves osteoarthritis pain (comparable to ibuprofen)
Skin health management
Oil control & anti-acne: 0.5%-5% concentration can reduce sebum secretion by 35% (cosmetic clinical test)
Promote wound healing: stimulate collagen synthesis and increase repair efficiency by 40%
Application scenarios and usage methods
Dietary supplement development
Capsule/Tablet：Encapsulated standardized extract, each capsule contains 50-200mg of nuciferine, suitable for weight management product line
Compositional formulation：Combined with green tea extract at a 2:1 ratio, fat oxidation efficiency increased by 120%
Functional foods innovation
Meal replacement powder/Drink：Add 1-3g of extract per 100g, pH tolerance range 3-9 (without affecting flavor)
Natural preservatives: Replace chemical preservatives. Adding 0.1% to meat products can extend the shelf life by 3 days.
Skin care formulas
Oil-control essence: 2%-5% concentration regulates sebum secretion, combined with salicylic acid to enhance anti-acne effects
Anti-aging cream: 1%-3% concentration inhibits collagen degradation, clinically shown to increase skin elasticity by 18%
Pharmaceutical grade applications
Cardiovascular adjuvant therapy: Develop sustained-release tablets (50 mg/tablet), taken once a day
Metabolic syndrome management: Combined with metformin, improves insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IR index decreases by 25%)
Applicable people and contraindications
Target people：
People with obesity and metabolic syndrome
People at high risk of cardiovascular disease
Oily skin and acne patients
Functional food research and development enterprises
FAQ Section
Q: What is the difference between lotus leaf extract and normal lotus leaf tea?
A: The extract is concentrated through a standardized process, and the concentration of nuciferine is 50-100 times that of lotus leaf tea. Fiber impurities are removed, and the bioavailability is increased by 3 times.
Q: How to solve the problem of poor water solubility?
A: Using β-cyclodextrin embedding technology, the water solubility is increased to 10% (higher specifications can be customized)
Q: Do you support small batch sample trials?
A: Support 1kg minimum order, shipped within 3 working days, with COA and formula recommendation
