  • Product Description

Shikimic Acid Extract Factory

Shaanxi Hongda is a high-quality Chinese factory specializing in the production and research and development of natural Plant Extracts. Our shikimic acid extract is extracted from natural star anise. Shikimic acid is a cyclohexene carboxylic acid. At a concentration of 80 µM, it can reduce the number of lipid droplets in HepG2 cells and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. At a concentration of 40 µM, it can increase the level of phosphorylated AMPK in HepG2 and 3T3-L1 adipocytes and reduce the level of MID1IP1.

The source of shikimic acid extract is star anise. Shikimic acid powder is composed of cyclohexene, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid and cyclopolyol. Plants and lower life forms such as bacteria, fungi and algae synthesize basic amino acids through the shikimic acid pathway, which is of great benefit to our human skin, cold treatment, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
