1. Product Description & Key Parameters
Lycopus Lucidus Extract (Zelan Extract) is a natural botanical extract derived from the dried aerial parts of Lycopus lucidus Turcz. var. hirtus Regel, a perennial herb belonging to the Lamiaceae family (Labiatae), commonly known as "Zelan" in traditional Chinese medicine. It has a long history of application in traditional Chinese medicine for its effects of promoting blood circulation, regulating menstruation, dispelling stasis and reducing swelling. The extract is produced through advanced water-ethanol mixed solvent extraction (ratio 50:50 v/v), purification, concentration and spray-drying processes, which effectively retain the plant's bioactive components. The final product is a yellow-brown to dark brown fine powder with a mild natural herbal odor, good flowability and no visible impurities.Core Parameters:
