Ashitaba Extract is made by using the leaves of a green perennial plant, Angelica keiskei, found in Japan at the island, Hachijo. Such an extract is normally made using low-temperature spray drying or using ethanol extraction to protect sensitive bioactive compounds. It is a yellow-green to greenish-brown powdery to powder-like substance which produces a typical earthy smell. The most defined active constituent of It is a set of exclusive chalcones, containing 4-hydroxyderricin and xanthoangelol, which is linked to be an extremely potent antioxidant and metabolic-assistant agent. It has been commonly attributed to promoting digestion, circulating blood, a normal range of blood sugar, and increasing energy and vigor. The dietary supplement, functional food, and natural health product industries are the major spheres of its application. Modern studies show positive findings on its implication in metabolic regulations, anti-fatigue, and cellular safeguarding, which makes it an important botanical in contemporary wellness practice. As the world market grows to demand clean-label, plant-based foods, it demonstrates large commercial promise in Western and Asian health markets, given consumers' demand for growing natural solutions to address daily health needs and long-term health.
