Nuciferine
What is Nuciferine?
Lotus leaf alkaloid is a major apophene-type alkaloid extracted from the leaves of the lotus plant (Nelumbo nucifera), a member of the Nymphaeaceae family. It is also the key active ingredient in the health benefits of lotus leaves. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed to have the effects of clearing heat and dampness, and promoting the upward movement of Yang energy. Modern research has revealed that it possesses various physiological activities. This component typically is slightly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, and can currently be mass-produced artificially.
Feature
Regulating Lipid Metabolism and Weight Loss
It inhibits adipocyte differentiation and lipid accumulation, effectively reducing triglyceride levels in the body. Simultaneously, it promotes fat oxidation and breakdown by activating the AMPK signaling pathway, helping to control weight.
Suppressing Appetite
Lotus leaf alkaloids can affect the appetite regulation center in the hypothalamus, increasing the transmission of satiety signals. This effect helps to naturally reduce food intake, making it particularly suitable for people who have difficulty controlling their diet.
Protecting the Cardiovascular System
This ingredient can improve lipid metabolism, lowering total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels. Its anti-atherosclerotic effect helps maintain vascular elasticity and prevent cardiovascular disease.
Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Effects
Lotus leaf alkaloids can effectively scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative stress damage to cells. It also exerts anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting inflammatory pathways such as NF-κB.
Applications
In the health food industry, it is used as a core ingredient in weight management products to help control body fat and shape the body. It is also frequently added to health foods that regulate blood lipids to maintain cardiovascular health.
In pharmaceutical applications, it is used under the guidance of doctors as an adjunct treatment for obese patients to improve metabolic indicators. Its extracts are also used in the preparation of lipid-lowering traditional Chinese medicine formulas, such as the famous traditional weight-loss formula "He Shu Tang".
In functional food development, it is added to special dietary foods such as meal replacement powders and fitness supplements. In recent years, it has also begun to be used in the development of teas and solid beverages with lipid-lowering functions.

Package & Storage
Our packing method is 1KG/Aluminium bags, 25kg/drum
For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
