Plant Extracts: The New Star in the Field of Health Preservation
As people's pursuit of healthy living is growing increasingly, the role of plant extracts in health preservation has gradually attracted attention. The latest research and applications indicate that plant extracts not only play an important role in traditional medicine but also demonstrate great potential in modern health industry.

Recently, the extract of Salvia miltiorrhiza has once again become the focus of attention in the medical field. As a Chinese medicinal herb widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, its extract has been proven to have various health benefits. It not only significantly promotes cardiovascular health but also shows remarkable effects in combating Helicobacter pylori.

Recently, the plant extract industry has shown a booming trend driven by favorable policies, technological innovation and market demand. From the announcement of new food ingredients released by the National Health Commission, to the technological breakthroughs and export growth of enterprises, the industry is ushering in unprecedented opportunities.

In recent years, the global recognition of plant extracts has been continuously rising, driving the rapid growth of the industry scale. Especially in developed countries and regions such as Europe and America, the demand for plant extracts has been steadily increasing, providing strong impetus for the industry development. According to the latest research report, the global market for plant extracts is predicted to reach 64.6 billion US dollars by 2028, while the market size of the plant extract industry in China is expected to increase to 60.2 billion yuan by 2025.

Passion flower, is a perennial vine growing in tropical and subtropical areas, native to South America. 1950s by the Chinese Guangdong introduced successful, now Guangdong, Fujian, Guangxi, Yunnan and other provinces are cultivated, varieties of purple fruit, yellow fruit, purple and yellow hybrid fruit. Its leaves are palmate three-lobed, leaf axils with tendrils, with the help of bamboo frames, tree trunks and fences climbing and living. Passion flower is fragrant and beautiful, shaped like a lotus, and like a clock plate and windmill, also known as “clock flower” and “windmill flower”. The fruit is the size of an egg, so it is also called “egg fruit”.

Compounds with antitumor activity were isolated from Pleurotus ostreatus, including Pleurotus polysaccharides, fungal immunomodulatory proteins, steroid compounds, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, phenolic acids, glycoproteins, etc. The purified Pleurotus polysaccharides isolated from Pleurotus ostreatus have significant antitumor activity. They mainly inhibit tumor cell growth by functions such as antioxidation and free radical scavenging, interfere with the biochemical metabolism and mitosis of tumor cells, and induce tumor cell apoptosis to resist tumors.

The progress and development of medicine is undoubtedly inseparable from the spirit of scientific verification and empirical evidence, and the process of modernizing and transforming plant medicines perfectly reflects this. From the empirical application of ancient herbs to the precise treatment of modern medicines, the journey of extracting, researching and transforming the active ingredients in plants into modern medicines by scientists has not only verified the effectiveness of plant-based medicines, but also pushed forward far-reaching progress in the field of medicine.

Rhodiola rosea is a member of the Sedum family, which is native to the Arctic Circle in Eastern Siberia. Rhodiola rosea is widely distributed in the Arctic Circle and mountainous regions of Europe and Asia. It grows above 11,000 to 18,000 feet above sea level. Rhodiola rosea was classified as an adaptogen by Soviet scientists for its ability to increase a wide range of chemical, biological and physical stressors. The term adaptogen originated in 1947 by a Soviet scientist, Lazarev. Rhodiola rosea was intensively studied in the USSR and Scandinavia for more than 35 years. Similar to other plant adaptogens studied by Soviet scientists, Rhodiola rosea extracts resulted in favorable changes in various physiological functions in different areas, including neurotransmitter levels, central nervous system activity, and cardiovascular function.
