Loquat Leaf Extract

OptiPure Brand Chemco Industries Inc. has introduced loquat leaf extract, standardized to 1% corosolic acid. Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) belongs to the plant family Rosaceae, which has been studied for its hypoglycemic properties. According to the company, loquat leaves contain corosolic acid, an active compound clinically proven to activate facilitative glucose transporters within the cell to utilize glucose more efficiently. The patent-pending extraction process for this plant material was developed by Japan-based Tokiwa Phytochemical Co., Ltd., where it uses ethanol to extract corosolic acid from loquat leaves. Corosolic acid is a natural medicine that plays a favorable role in maintaining healthy blood glucose levels, thereby decreasing the risk of long-term complications associated with insulin resistance.
