Alfalfa Extract 20% Flavonoids

What is Alfalfa Extract Flavonoids?

Alfalfa extract is the whole grass extract of Medicago sativa L, a legume. Alfalfa is rich in a variety of active ingredients, and its flavonoids are often used in the production of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-bacterial drugs, and so on. Alfalfa extract flavonoids have the active functions of increasing the antioxidant level of the body, reducing the level of cellular inflammation enhancing immunity, and promoting the feed conversion rate of animals, which makes its application in animal feeding more and more important to researchers.

Green Spring Technology supplies Alfalfa Extract 20% Flavonoids, which is a uniform and fine powder with stable properties and low moisture content, which can extend the storage period.

Green Spring Technology is a leading biotechnology company in China, which was established in 2000 and has obtained many certifications such as Halal, Kosher, COSMOS, BRC, IFS, FDA, ISO, etc. Authoritative third-party test reports are available.

Regulation:

It conforms to EU regulations.

Benefits:

Antioxidant

Flavonoids and isoflavonoid substances in alfalfa extract can eliminate free radicals in the chain initiation stage in the antioxidant reaction as well as directly capture free radicals in the free radical reaction chain and block the free radical chain reaction through phenolic hydroxyl groups. Flavonoids and isoflavones substances have a strong antioxidant function, can remove reactive oxygen species in the body, protect lipids, proteins, and chromosomes in the human body from reactive oxygen species attack, prevent cellular lesions, enhance immunity, and delay aging.

Hypolipidaemia

Alfalfa extract has the effect of lowering the levels of TC and TG in hyperlipidaemic rats and reducing the degree of liver lesions in hyperlipidaemic rats.

Improving the Quality of Livestock Products

British and German scientists found that feeding alfalfa extract rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids to cattle can increase the content of long-chain n-3 fatty acids such as conjugated linoleic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in beef. The experimental grouping scheme was as follows: 1) straw and concentrates group (S-CC); 2) straw, concentrates and 2 000 IU VE/kg alfalfa extract group (S-PXC); 3) green storage feed group (GS); 4) green storage feed and 75 g alfalfa extract/kg hay group (GS-LPX); and 5) green storage feed and 150 g alfalfa extract/kg hay group (GS HPX).

Supplementary feeding of alfalfa extract with concentrates and silage increased the n-3 fatty acid content of tenderloin and had a significant (P < 0.05) favorable effect on the ratio of n-6:n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids without adversely affecting the organoleptic quality of the tenderloin.

Anti-Inflammatory

Alfalfa extract can have a significant inhibitory effect on tissue swelling in the early stage of inflammation, and can also inhibit tissue proliferation and granulation in the late stage of inflammation, showing good anti-inflammatory effects.

Improves Immunity

Several studies have shown that flavonoids extracted from alfalfa can scavenge free radicals, improve animal lactation, increase egg production, and have mild estrogenic and immune functions. Other tests have shown that isoflavones also have cardiotonic, anti-hypoxic, improve the body's immune function, and inhibit the growth of sex hormone-dependent tumors.

Weight Loss

Alfalfa extract can reduce the body mass of nutritionally obese rats, reduce Lee's index, decrease the body fat mass, and make the size of adipocytes smaller. This indicates that alfalfa extract has an obvious weight loss effect.

Applications:

For Healthcare Products:

The many active ingredients in alfalfa extract give it the ability to lower cholesterol, regulate blood lipid levels, and prevent atherosclerosis. In addition, it regulates the immune system and antioxidants, which helps to slow down the aging process.

For Feed Product：

It was found that alfalfa polysaccharides extracted from alfalfa have various bioactive effects such as immunomodulatory function, antioxidant, antitumor, and improvement of the intestinal environment, etc., and are low-cost, non-residual, and non-toxic, so they have good research and application value in livestock and poultry production and are a kind of green feeding additives with great application potential.
