Basic Infomation

Dihydroquercetin powder as it is known in medicine, is a compound present in many plant species, but it is found in the highest concentrations in the wood of the Siberian and Dahurian Larch trees which grow abundantly in the northeast of Russia.

Dihydroquercetin belongs to the flavanone class of flavonoids. It has two primary effects in humans, it is an extremely potent antioxidant and it has powerful protective effects for the cardiovascular and immune systems, amongst other health promoting properties.

White or light yellow powder, colorless needle-like crystals (in 50% ethanol), its melting point is 240°C. It is easily soluble in ethanol, acetic acid and boiling water, and slightly soluble in cold water.

Functions:

1.Inhibit the synthesis of fat and cholesterol

Dihydroquercetin powder can affect lipid metabolism by regulating the activity of enzymes, can reduce liver fat synthesis, inhibit intracellular cholesterol synthesis, and inhibit cholesterol esterification, triacylglycerol and phospholipid synthesis.

2. Inhibition of viral enzymes

Dihydroquercetin exhibits an extremely high inhibitory effect on viral reverse transcriptase and can play an anti-viral effect.

3. Antioxidant effect

Dihydroquercetin has a strong effect of scavenging free radicals and anti-oxidation. It can also protect red blood cells and prevent oxidative hemolysis.

4. Inhibit the effect of tyrosinase

Dihydroquercetin can effectively inhibit tyrosinase activity and prevent melanin precipitation. Has a unique whitening effect.

5. The role of UV absorption

Dihydroquercetin, as a dihydroflavonol substance, can effectively absorb ultraviolet rays in the atmosphere, prevent ultraviolet damage, and play a whitening and sunscreen effect.

6. Treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

Dihydroquercetin can also inhibit sugar aldehyde reductase, but does not inhibit NADH oxidase. It also has a weak reducing effect on cytochrome C, which can inhibit the transmission of oxidative respiratory chain in the glands.
