Product Overview: Ligustrum Lucidum Extract

Ligustrum lucidum (scientific name: Ligustrum lucidum), a member of the genus Ligustrum in the family Oleaceae, is an evergreen shrub or arbor native to subtropical regions. With dense foliage, it is not only a common ornamental plant (suitable for single planting, cluster planting in courtyards, street trees, and hedges) but also a valuable medicinal plant with mature fruits as the core medicinal part.

The medicinal fruits of Ligustrum lucidum are reniform or nearly reniform, 7-10 mm long and 4-6 mm in diameter, appearing dark blue-black or red-black when mature, covered with white powder; the fruiting pedicel is 0-5 mm long. After harvesting, the ripe fruits are dried in the sun directly or heated in hot water first and then dried in the sun for medicinal processing. It is characterized by a cool nature, sweet and bitter taste, and is a classic traditional medicinal material for nourishing liver and kidney.

Our Ligustrum Lucidum Extract is refined from high-quality mature Ligustrum lucidum fruits, retaining core active ingredients such as ligustrin, oleuropein, oleanolic acid, 4-hydroxy-b-phenylethyl-B-D-Glucoside, and betulin, ensuring high purity and stable efficacy.

Core Functions & Efficacy of Ligustrum Lucidum Extract

1. Classic Efficacy: Nourish Liver & Kidney, Improve Eyesight & Blacken Hair

As a traditional liver-kidney nourishing ingredient, it is specially suitable for symptoms caused by liver-kidney yin deficiency, such as vertigo, tinnitus, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, blurred vision, tinnitus and deafness, premature graying of hair, and loose teeth. It helps regulate the balance of liver and kidney functions, enhance physical vitality, and improve the state of sub-health caused by long-term fatigue.

2. Hypoglycemic Effect: Assist in Blood Sugar Regulation

The oleanolic acid in the extract has a significant hypoglycemic effect: it can effectively lower blood sugar levels, prevent and treat alloxan-induced diabetes, and resist hyperglycemia induced by adrenaline or glucose, providing a natural auxiliary solution for blood sugar management.

3. Liver Protection: Inhibit Liver Damage

Oleanolic acid can inhibit the increase of Alanine transaminase (SGPT) caused by carbon tetrachloride, and significantly reduce liver damage induced by carbon tetrachloride, including vacuolar degeneration, loose degeneration, hepatocyte necrosis, and lobular interstitial inflammation. It has a protective effect on liver cells and assists in maintaining liver health.

4. Enhance Cellular Immune Function

Ligustrum Lucidum Extract can significantly improve the function of T lymphocytes: it enhances lymphocyte proliferation induced by PHA, COA, and PWM, and significantly strengthens the local graft-host response (GUH) induced by xenogeneic (human) lymphocytes. In addition, the decoction of Ligustrum lucidum can promote delayed-type hypersensitivity induced by SRBC, which fully confirms its effect of enhancing cellular immune function and improving the body’s resistance.

5. Enhance Humoral Immune Function

It can effectively enhance the body’s humoral immune response, promote the synthesis and secretion of antibodies, improve the body’s ability to resist external pathogens, and lay a solid foundation for overall health protection.
