Description

Xanthohumol is a principal prenylated flavonoid isolated from the hop plant (*Humulus lupulus* L.). This compound is of significant commercial and research interest due to its potent biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and chemopreventive properties. It serves as a key ingredient for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and functional food and beverage industries seeking to develop products that support wellness and metabolic health.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Formulated into capsules, tablets, and liquid extracts for its antioxidant and potential metabolic health benefits.
• Functional Food & Beverage: Incorporated into health-focused foods, sports nutrition products, and specialty beers to enhance nutritional profiles.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in preclinical studies targeting inflammation, cancer, and metabolic disorders.
• Cosmeceuticals: Added to skincare formulations for its anti-aging and protective effects against oxidative stress.
• Animal Nutrition: Explored as a feed additive for promoting animal health and performance.
