Wholesale Prickly Pear Extract Natural SOD 10000-50000U/G
Prickly Pear/Rosa roxburghii Extract:Introduction
Rosa roxburghii, a wild fruit native to southwestern China, is known as the "King of Vitamin C," with a vitamin C content dozens to hundreds of times higher than that of lemons. We select high-quality rosa roxburghii fruit as raw material, using standardized extraction, concentration, and drying processes to produce a fine powder. YTBIO's rosa roxburghii extract offers multiple specifications with SOD (superoxide dismutase) activities of 10,000, 20,000, 40,000, and 50,000 u/g to meet your needs in different applications. All specifications retain maximum SOD enzyme activity, ensuring product stability during processing and storage.

Product Features and Efficacy
Powerful Antioxidant
Rosa roxburghii extract is rich in SOD, vitamin C, and polyphenols. SOD can directly catalyze the dismutation of superoxide anions into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. In vitro experiments show that rosa roxburghii extract can significantly reduce intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and enhance cellular antioxidant capacity.
Delaying Cellular Senescence
A study by a research team at Sun Yat-sen University showed that prickly pear extract can enhance telomerase activity in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), reducing DNA damage responses and replicative senescence. Cells treated with prickly pear extract exhibited stronger survival capabilities in response to oxidative stress, outperforming the group treated with the same concentration of vitamin C.
Anti-Fatigue
In a weighted swimming experiment in mice, mice continuously administered prickly pear extract experienced a 30%-50% increase in exhaustion swimming time. Prickly pear extract can promote liver glycogen and muscle glycogen reserves (increasing by approximately 20% and 15%, respectively), while reducing blood lactate and urea nitrogen levels, accelerating the clearance of metabolic waste after exercise.
Protecting Tissue Damage
In a normobaric hypoxia tolerance experiment, mice administered prickly pear extract showed an average survival time extended by more than 40%. The study also found that rosigin and robinin in prickly pear can activate the ERK1/2 and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, inhibiting hypoxia-induced neuronal apoptosis and playing an active protective role in brain tissue.
Regulating Glucose and Lipid Metabolism
The flavonoids and polyphenols in prickly pear can inhibit α-glucosidase activity, slow down intestinal glucose absorption, help stabilize postprandial blood sugar, and participate in lipid metabolism regulation, helping to maintain healthy blood lipid levels.
Liver Protection
The polysaccharides in prickly pear have immunomodulatory activity, and its antioxidant components can also reduce liver damage caused by alcohol or chemicals and increase the activity of liver antioxidant enzymes.
Product Application Guide
Health Supplements and Dietary Supplements
The core applications of prickly pear extract are anti-oxidation, anti-fatigue, and immunomodulation.
Basic Nutrition: Choose an SOD activity of 10,000-20,000 u/g, suitable as a daily antioxidant and immune supplement.
Functional Products: Choose an SOD activity of 40,000-50,000 u/g, suitable for anti-fatigue products for athletes, anti-aging products for middle-aged and elderly people, etc.
Prickly pear extract can be combined with natural vitamin C (such as acerola cherry extract) or with polysaccharides (such as wolfberry polysaccharides and Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides) to further enhance its immunomodulatory effects.
Functional Foods and Beverages
Sports Drinks: It is recommended to choose a medium-to-low activity level (10,000-20,000 u/g) for developing sports recovery drinks. Avoid high-temperature sterilization to prevent its impact on SOD activity.
Solid Beverages: Prickly pear extract has a unique flavor; solid beverage (powder) form better preserves its activity, making it suitable for developing instant beverage products.
Food Additives: Can be added to products such as jelly, gummies, and protein bars.
Skincare Additives
Antioxidants: Choose a high activity level (40,000-50,000 u/g) and add it to water-based formulas.
Repairing: For sensitive skin and post-sun repair, it can be used in combination with soothing ingredients (such as Centella asiatica and Portulaca oleracea).
Precautions: SOD is an enzyme and is temperature-sensitive. It is recommended to add it during the cooling stage of the formula (below 40℃). Avoid direct contact with strong acids, strong alkalis, or high-concentration alcohol. The above application guidelines are for reference only and can be adjusted according to the actual product efficacy.
