Product description:

Eucommia is an herb that comes from the Chinese rubber tree (Eucommia ulmoides). It has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to support the endocrine system, improve kidney health, and strengthen bones and muscles. It is also said to promote weight loss, prevent osteoporosis, and enhance heart health.1

While alternative medicine practitioners turn to eucommia to increase vitality and promote longevity, in the West, it is mostly known as a supplement to lower blood pressure. In addition to capsules, eucommia is also sold in extract, tea, and dry forms.

What Is Eucommia Used For?

The herb, also known as du zhong, is a rich source of antioxidants, lignans, and isoflavonoids—naturally occurring chemicals with hormone-like effects.2

Eucommia has been used and studied for a variety of uses including sexual dysfunction, cancer, metabolic syndrome, neurological diseases, and more. To date, however, most of the research is limited to animal testing and small clinical trials.

Here's a closer look at the science behind the potential health benefits of this herb.

High Blood Pressure

Eucommia may help fight high blood pressure (hypertension), according to a small study published in Alternative Medicine Review. For the study, 30 healthy adults took 1 gram (g) of eucommia three times daily for two weeks. At the study's end, the herb was shown to lower blood pressure by an average of 7.5/3.9 mmHg compared to the control group. Some animal-based research indicates that the lignans found in eucommia may also help with blood pressure management. A rat-based study published in the American Journal of Chinese Medicine in 2013 found that lignans extracted from eucommia may help prevent hypertension-related cardiac remodeling (i.e., changes to the structure of the heart induced by damage to cardiac muscle).

Arthritis

Several preliminary studies show that eucommia may offer relief of osteoarthritis.

A 2015 study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology demonstrated that treatment with eucommia helped slow the progression of osteoarthritis, in part by reducing inflammation and inhibiting the breakdown of cartilage.

Diabetes

Eucommia shows promise in the treatment of diabetes and the prevention of diabetic complications.

Early studies on diabetic mice found six weeks of treatment with eucommia significantly lowered the animals' blood sugar levels.7 More recent research shows the herb may help reduce insulin resistance, a condition closely linked to diabetes, and may fight obesity.

Several studies have explored eucommia and the prevention of diabetes-related complications.

For instance, a 2016 study on diabetic rats found the herb decreased levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine and improved renal fibrosis, a measure of kidney damage.9 A 2019 study found eucommia reversed erectile dysfunction in diabetic rats.

What is Chlorogenic acid?

Chlorogenic acid (abbreviated as CGA), also known as coffee tannic acid, eucommia chlorogenic acid, scorpion extract, caffeoylquinic acid, etc., is a natural compound composed of caffeic acid and (−)-Quinine is esterified. Chlorogenic acid is an important biosynthetic intermediate. Chlorogenic acid is an important intermediate product in the biosynthesis of lignin. As an antioxidant, Chlorogen can slow down the process of glucose release into the blood after a meal.

The term chlorogenic acid also refers to the esterification of hydroxycinnamic acid (ie: caffeic acid, ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid) and quinic acid.

Function

1. Has antihypertensive effects: Chlorogenic acid has significant antihypertensive effect, which is smooth, and non-toxic without side effects.
2. Has anti-tumor effects: Modern pharmacological experiments show that chlorogenic acid has the effects of anti-cancer and tumor suppressor.
3. Has the effects of strengthening Kidney and enhancing immune function: Experimental results show that chlorogenic acid can excite pituitary and adrenal cortex system and can enhance the function of the adrenal cortex.
4. Antioxidant, anti-aging, against free radicals, promoting metabolism.
5. Chlorogenic acid has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory effects. It decreases blood pressure and increases white blood cells and gastric peristalsis and secretion significantly.
6. Other functions: diuretic, gallbladder, blood fat, fetus protection.

Application:

1. Applied in food field, it is a kind of ideal green food to reduce weight;
2. Applied in health product field, celery can stable mood and eliminate irritable;
3. Applied in cosmetic field, to treat rheumatism and gout has good effect.
