What’s Vitexin?

Vitexin powder is a natural apigenin flavonoid glycoside that comes from apigenin. It is also a C-glycosyl compound and trihydroxyflavone.

Vitexin Sources

At present, we have analyzed the existence of Vitexin in some natural plants, such as passionflower, Hawthorn, bamboo leaf, and pearl millet.

Hawthorn, in particular, is also sought after as a food in China. Hawthorn is regarded as a food beneficial to the body by traditional Chinese medicine. At the same time, it is also used in traditional Chinese medicine. Vitexin, a critical component of Hawthorn, has been used in China for many years through modern scientific analysis.

itexin and Isovitexin

Vitexin and isovitexin are mono-c-glycosyl flavonoids found in various natural plant sources, and they all have similar molecular weights, both of which are 432.381 g/mol. At first, we collectively referred to them as Vitexin, but with natural product chemical technology progress, people began to separate isomer and its analogs, including isovitexin. Many reports reviewed outline that Vitexin and isovitexin play similar roles in the human body.

Vitexin Manufacturing Process

Vitexin is a trihydroxyflavone, which we mentioned in the above “source” introduction. It is produced in bamboo leaves, pearl millet, passion fruit, and Hawthorn. At present, Hawthorn is the most used raw material in the market because Hawthorn has the highest content of Vitexin, high extraction rate, and high commercial value. However, no matter which source of raw materials, their final practical component is Vitexin, but the cost of Vitexin from different sources will be different. In addition, a small number of people are currently exploring the production of Vitexin from the perspective of biosynthesis. Still, it has not yet developed into a commercial process.

The process of extracting from natural plants is also straightforward. Usually, Hawthorn is fully extracted in the extraction tank with water or ethanol as the extraction solvent, then the extract is spray-dried, and finally, the packaging is tested.

Vitexin Price

The raw material of Vitexin depends on the raw material price of the extraction source, and there may be seasonal fluctuations. Cima also has different gradient pricing for quantities, and different amounts correspond to transportation costs. For example, 1kg-25kg is usually shipped by international express. For bulk quantity, by air or sea transportation will be considered. Therefore, the accurate price needs to be calculated according to different situations.
