Dogwood Fruit Extract Powder
Dogwood fruit extract powder is a concentrated form of the fruit of the dogwood tree, scientifically known as Cornus spp. The extract is obtained by processing the fruit to remove water and other impurities, resulting in a powdered form with a higher concentration of beneficial compounds.
The Fructus Corni Extract, with its brown powder appearance, is available in three specifications: 5:1, 10:1, and 20:1. The extract is derived from the Dogwood tree, a small deciduous tree that grows up to 10m high. The tree has oval leaves that turn a rich red-brown in the fall. The fruit of the Dogwood tree is a cluster of bright red drupes, which serve as an important food source for various bird species.
There are several species within the Cornus genus, including Cornus florida and Cornus kousa, which are commonly used for their fruit. Some of the active ingredients found in dogwood fruit extract powder include:
Anthocyanins: These are a type of flavonoid pigment, responsible for the vibrant red or purple color of the fruit. Anthocyanins are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Vitamin C: Dogwood fruit is a good source of vitamin C, which is an important antioxidant and plays a role in immune function, collagen synthesis, and iron absorption.
Calcium: Dogwood fruit extract powder contains calcium, which is essential for maintaining healthy bones, teeth, and muscles.
Phosphorus: Phosphorus is another mineral found in dogwood fruit extract powder, important for bone health, energy metabolism, and cell function.
It can be used in various applications, including dietary supplements, functional foods, herbal remedies, and topical products. As with any supplement or ingredient, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional or herbalist for guidance on usage and dosage based on individual needs and health conditions.
