梔子藏紅花素 Gardenia Crocin

Crocin is an uncommon water-soluble carotenoid.

It is rare in the plant kingdom, and gardenia is one of the few plants containing crocin.

Haitai Bonong’s “Linhai 1” gardenia has the same molecular structure, nutritional ingredients and health efficacy as the crocin in saffron.

Crocin has a good therapeutic effect on many central nervous system diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders, psychiatric disorders, epilepsy, convulsion and insomnia

it also has a good therapeutic effect on various cardiovascular

diseases including hypertension, hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis

it has anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, hepatoprotective, choleretic, and anti-diabetic effects, too.

In addition, studies show that crocein is effective in promoting reproduction, inhibiting platelet aggregation, resisting calculi, allergy and snake venom, easing pain, and treating asthma, leukemia, gastric ulcer, etc.

The existing research on the anti-cancer mechanism of crocin shows that it has many possible pathways, of which the apoptosis pathway has gained much research support.

Gardenia crocein is an internationally accepted and preferred new drug for inhibiting tumors and preventing hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia.

The rate of crocin extraction from its “Linhai 1” gardenia fruit is up to 2.2%, the same as that from saffron.
