do you know Puerarin?
what is Puerarin?
Puerarin, also known as PUERARIN, is an active ingredient extracted from the Chinese herb Pueraria Mirifica. It is a flavonoid compound with a chemical structure similar to that of soy glycosides, with multiple hydroxyl and ketone groups. This compound is not common in nature, but is abundant in some plants such as Pueraria Mirifica, Kudzu, Echinacea and groundnut.
Extraction of Puerarin
The extraction process of Puerarin is relatively simple. Firstly, Pueraria Mirifica needs to be dried and crushed, and then extracted using organic solvents such as ethanol. Add appropriate amount of water in the extract, which can make the Puerarin precipitation out. After filtering and drying, Puerarin powder can be obtained.
