As public awareness of proactive health continues to grow, the functional food and dietary supplement industries are experiencing an unprecedented wave of innovation. As a company with deep experience in natural plant extraction, Hubei Shengmei Kang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. keeps pace with the national strategy for the “Greater Health” industry and policy developments concerning new food ingredients (“Dual New” ingredients). The company is launching two key botanical extracts—Cyclocarya paliurus extract and vine tea extract—to provide global customers with high-quality, standardized solutions for natural active ingredients.

I. Key Product Characteristics and Application Areas

1. Cyclocarya paliurus Extract

Cyclocarya paliurus, also known as the “money tree” and a “living fossil of the plant kingdom,” is a rare plant native to China that is used both as food and in traditional medicine.

• Key characteristics: Rich in Cyclocarya paliurus polysaccharides, total flavonoids, triterpenoids, and trace elements. It has natural bioactive properties that support the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, help lower blood glucose, provide antioxidant effects, and improve insulin resistance.

2. Vine Tea Extract (Ampelopsis cantoniensis / Snake Vine Extract)

Vine tea, commonly known as “mold tea” or “immortal herb,” grows mainly in high-altitude mountainous areas and is a distinctive botanical resource with considerable development potential.

• Key characteristics: Its primary active components are high-purity dihydromyricetin (DHM) and total flavonoids. It offers strong heat-clearing and detoxifying effects, notable liver-protective and alcohol-relief effects, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity, and free-radical-scavenging effects.
• Application areas:
