Glycyrrhetic Acid Powder

What is Glycyrrhetic Acid?

Glycyrrhetic Acid Powder is obtained by hydrolyzing glycyrrhizic acid extracted from licorice rhizomes into acetylglycyrrhetinic acid. In addition, glycyrrhizic acid can also be metabolized into glycyrrhetinic acid by specific enzymes in the body to exert its effects. It is a pentacyclic triterpenoid saponin with an oleanane-type skeleton and is one of the important active ingredients of licorice. It is insoluble in water but easily soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and chloroform. It has multiple biological effects such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and whitening. The main pharmacologically active substances contained in licorice are glycyrrhizic acid and its salts. It is a biologically active metabolite of glycyrrhizic acid, and its absorption coefficient in the body is significantly higher than that of glycyrrhizic acid. It is a natural product with multiple biological activities, and its application in the fields of medicine and cosmetics is extensive and important.

Features

1. Natural source: It is a compound naturally present in the root of licorice, with good biological activity and biosafety.

2. Multiple uses: In addition to being a medicinal ingredient, it is also widely used in cosmetics, health products and other fields, with skin conditioning, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory and other effects.

3. Precautions: Long-term high-dose use may cause side effects such as hypertension and hypokalemia, so pay attention to the dosage and frequency when using it, and follow the doctor's advice.

What Are The Benefits?

Whitening effect

Antioxidant
It has obvious antioxidant effects, can remove free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative stress damage, and help protect cells from oxidative damage.

Immunomodulation
It can inhibit the complement system at multiple targets, and prevent the damage to tissues caused by the membrane attack complex involved in complement in various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases by inhibiting the complement activation pathway and the activity of complement lysing cells.

Liver protection
It plays a good role in protecting the liver in liver diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, liver fibrosis, and liver damage. It improves excessive apoptosis of liver cells and excessive production of inflammatory factors by regulating related pathways and regulating the expression of related genes.

Hypoglycemia
It can reduce blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin levels, regulate the activity of key enzymes involved in glucose metabolism in the liver, promote glycogen synthesis, and maintain blood sugar levels back to normal.

Whitening Mechanism

Inhibit tyrosinase activity
It can effectively reduce the activity of tyrosinase, thereby reducing the formation of melanin. Tyrosinase is the key enzyme in the production of melanin. By inhibiting its activity, the production of melanin can be reduced from the source, achieving a whitening effect.

Anti-inflammatory
It has anti-inflammatory effects, can inhibit the permeability of capillaries, reduce inflammatory exudation, and prevent pigmentation caused by inflammation.​​​​​​​

Antioxidant
Glycyrrhetinic acid has antioxidant effects, can effectively remove superoxide free radicals and hydroxyl free radicals, and inhibit lipid peroxides. Oxidative stress can cause skin aging and pigmentation. Through antioxidant effects, it helps to protect the skin from oxidative damage and keep the skin white and young.

Regulate skin immune function
It can regulate the immune function of the skin, enhance the skin's disease resistance, eliminate inflammation, and prevent allergies.

Improve skin texture
It helps to reduce spots and enhance the uniformity and radiance of the skin by improving the skin's microcirculation and enhancing the skin's antioxidant defense system.

Applications

Food
Glycyrrhetic Acid Powder is often used as a natural sweetener, and its sweetness is dozens of times that of sucrose. Therefore, it is widely used in beverages, candies and other foods to provide a low-calorie alternative. At the same time, due to its antibacterial properties, it can also be used as a food preservative, which helps to extend the shelf life of food and reduce the growth of microorganisms.

Health products
As an active ingredient in health products, it is used to enhance human immunity, anti-oxidation, anti-aging and other aspects. In functional foods and supplements, it can help consumers improve their health and prevent diseases.

Cosmetics
Due to its good moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties, it is widely used in skin care products. It can effectively relieve problems such as dry skin and redness, improve skin barrier function, and enhance the health of the skin.

Medicine
It is used to treat various inflammations and skin diseases, and has significant anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects. In addition, glycyrrhetinic acid is also used to treat digestive system diseases such as gastric ulcers and gastritis.
