Eucommia Ulmoides leaf extract is a natural regulator of intestinal flora

For a long time, many enterprises and scholars in China have conducted in-depth research on the application of Eucommia globulus leaf extract in medicine and farming, especially in the field of farming, where the role of Eucommia globulus leaf extract in regulating the intestinal flora of animals has been widely recognized.

In fact, Eucommia globulus leaf extract also plays an extremely important role in human health. Eucommia leaf extract is rich in kynurenine glycosides and carnoside. In recent years, foreign institutions have concluded that kynurenine and carnoside can significantly promote the production of short chain fatty acid (SCFA) in the intestine, thus balancing intestinal flora, maintaining the normal function of the large intestine, promoting sodium and calcium absorption, increasing intestinal function absorption, promoting digestion, repairing damaged intestinal mucosa, and preventing ulcers and enteritis. By enhancing intestinal barrier function, it helps prevent pathogenic infections and improve allergic inflammation.

A human trial conducted by Kobayashi Pharmaceutical in Japan showed that the intestinal flora was balanced and restored to a healthy state after 8 weeks of taking Eucommia leaf extract (which contains 16mg of carnoside and 85mg of kynurenine) (data from relevant patent documents).

The information shows that

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) make the human intestinal environment acidic, which in turn promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the human body, thus improving intestinal flora imbalance. Beneficial intestinal bacteria in the human body can mainly produce SCFA acetate, butyrate and propionate. In addition to balancing intestinal bacteria levels, these SCFA have other health benefits, such as

1. Addressing digestive problems

Digestive disorders such as IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) are becoming more common and by increasing the production of SCFA butyrate, the symptoms of digestive disorders can be alleviated.

2. Weight loss and weight management

Propionate and acetate in SCFA are particularly important in the metabolism of fats and sugars. Acetate is a SCFA that actually suppresses appetite, which means people will feel less hungry and soon feel full when they eat. Butyrate is known for being an immunomodulator and reducing inflammation levels in the body, while propionate prevents liver cells from absorbing excess fat in the blood, thus ensuring liver health and thus optimal detoxification.

3. Blood sugar control

SCFA contributes to blood sugar stability and the balance of hunger and satiety hormones. Blood sugar stability is a major determinant of healthy weight status, while regulating hunger hormones and helping the body to enhance satiety, thus fighting obesity and diabetes.

4. Heart Health

Studies have shown that increased levels of SCFA (e.g. acetate) can improve heart health (e.g. blood lipids).
