Gentiopicroside

What is Gentiopicroside? 

Gentiopicroside is a natural bitter iridoid glycoside extracted primarily from plants of the Gentianaceae family, especially Gentiana scabra. As a key bioactive compound in traditional herbal medicine, it is valued for its multiple pharmacological effects and is widely used in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and botanical extract industries.

Applications:

1. Liver Protection

Gentiopicroside has demonstrated hepatoprotective effects by reducing liver enzyme levels and preventing liver tissue damage. It is often used in formulations for chronic hepatitis and fatty liver disease.

2. Anti-inflammatory Activity

It exhibits strong anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory mediators, making it suitable for natural anti-inflammatory supplement formulations.

3. Appetite Stimulation & Digestive Support

This compound promotes the secretion of gastric juices and bile, improving appetite and aiding digestion. It’s commonly used in digestive tonics and stomach health supplements.

4. Antioxidant Properties

Gentiopicroside shows significant free radical scavenging ability, helping to slow cellular aging and contributing to its potential as an anti-aging ingredient.

5. Antibacterial & Antiviral Potential

Studies suggest that it can inhibit certain bacteria and viruses, offering a natural alternative to synthetic antimicrobials.
