Product Description
Lotus Leaf Extract is a high-quality standardized botanical extract refined from the dried leaves of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn, a traditional natural edible and medicinal plant. The core bioactive ingredients are Nuciferine and natural lotus leaf flavonoids, which endow the extract with unique lipid metabolism regulation, antioxidant detoxification and body fat management properties. We supply two mainstream commercial specifications: 2% standard grade and 5% high-purity grade Nuciferine, produced through standardized raw material selection, low-temperature circulating extraction and multi-stage resin purification technology.
Different from unprocessed crude lotus leaf powder and unstandardized extracts with unstable active content, our Lotus Leaf Extract undergoes professional impurity removal and concentration treatment. The production process thoroughly eliminates redundant plant fiber, starch, pigment impurities and residual solvents, ensuring fixed nuciferine content, stable batch activity and reliable efficacy consistency. All production links comply with GMP dust-free purification standards, with strict heavy metal and microbial limit detection, fully meeting global functional food, dietary supplement and natural plant raw material application standards.
As a classic natural weight-management plant ingredient, standardized Lotus Leaf Extract delivers multiple physiological benefits. Nuciferine, the core active alkaloid, effectively regulates lipid metabolism, inhibits fat absorption and accumulation in the body, accelerates fat decomposition and metabolism, and assists in healthy body shaping and weight management. It does not produce excitatory or stimulant side effects, featuring mild action and high safety for long-term daily conditioning.
In antioxidant and detoxification aspects, lotus leaf flavonoids efficiently scavenge intracellular reactive oxygen free radicals, inhibit lipid peroxidation reactions, reduce cellular oxidative damage, delay body aging and improve sub-health state caused by long-term metabolic imbalance. It also promotes internal circulation and gastrointestinal metabolism, assists in discharging metabolic waste, and realizes natural body detoxification and internal balance regulation. In pharmacological research, it is widely used in lipid metabolism, anti-obesity and antioxidant mechanism studies, providing stable and accurate experimental samples for scientific research institutions.
Our Lotus Leaf Extract finished product is uniform greenish yellow fine powder with delicate texture, no agglomeration and pure natural fresh lotus leaf fragrance. Every batch of products passes full-index quality inspection including HPLC nuciferine content calibration, microbial safety detection and heavy metal residue screening. Strict quality control ensures zero abnormal impurities and stable physical and chemical properties. With excellent water solubility and formula compatibility, it can be perfectly applied in weight management capsules, slimming tablets, functional drinks and solid nutritional powders.
