Plant Extracts: The New Star in the Field of Health Preservation
2025-03-19
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.
In recent years, China has implemented the strictest "prohibition of antibiotics, restriction of antibiotics use, and no use of antibiotics" policy, which has promoted the application of plant extracts in animal health care and food additives. Since January 1, 2020, all growth-promoting drug feed additive varieties except for traditional Chinese medicine have been prohibited from use. This policy not only promotes the development of ecological efficient farming but also ensures food safety. Plant extracts, such as Chinese herbal medicines, have become an important alternative to antibiotics due to their natural and safe characteristics. Research institutions and enterprises have invested a large amount of resources in researching and developing more effective plant extract products to enhance animal health, reduce drug residues, and ensure the safety of consumers' dining tables.
In the field of human health preservation, the application of plant extracts is even more extensive. In 2023, plant extracts performed exceptionally well in the nutrition and health food market, especially in liver care, anti-sugar and weight loss, assisting in lowering blood sugar, and anti-aging. They achieved a year-on-year growth rate of over 100%. Traditional Chinese herbal ingredients such as mulberry leaves and Ganoderma lucidum have demonstrated significant market potential. Mulberry leaf extract is mainly used for lowering blood sugar, blood pressure, and weight loss, while Ganoderma lucidum extract has seen its sales continuously expand due to its immunity-enhancing effect. Moreover, various innovative products have emerged on the market, such as skin care products containing white tomato essence, which can effectively resist free radicals and protect the skin from UV damage; and SkinAX2 melon concentrate powder with European anti-aging patents, which significantly reduces age spots and dark circles by promoting collagen synthesis, providing consumers with tangible visible effects of youthfulness.
Scientific research is constantly revealing the medical value of plant extracts. For instance, rosehip extract has been found to treat triple-negative breast cancer, cumin extract can act as an inhibitor for colorectal cancer, Ganoderma lucidum extract helps in treating obesity, Magnolia extract has anti-cancer effects, and potato extract can kill cancer stem cells. These discoveries not only bring new hope for medical treatment to the medical community but also provide scientific basis for the application of plant extracts in the field of health preservation and wellness.
Aged grass, a traditional medicinal plant in China, has regained popularity in recent years due to its various pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial and antiviral properties. The tender leaves of aged grass are not only used for medicinal purposes but also incorporated into daily diets for various cooking methods such as baking cakes, cooking porridge and making soups. Modern research shows that various bioactive substances in aged grass can effectively regulate immunity, relieve fatigue and improve skin condition, making it an excellent choice for health preservation and wellness.
With the advancement of technology and the increasing preference for natural products among people, the role of plant extracts in health preservation will be further developed and utilized. In the future, plant extracts are expected to contribute to human health in more fields and become an indispensable part of modern health industry. Whether as food additives, nutritional health supplements, or medical drugs, plant extracts offer new choices for people's healthy life with their unique advantages.
