Description

Ginsenoside Ra1 is a protopanaxatriol-type saponin and a primary bioactive constituent isolated from Panax ginseng. This high-purity reference standard is critical for ensuring the quality, safety, and efficacy of ginseng-based products through accurate analytical quantification. It serves as an essential raw material for research and development in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical industries, where standardization of active components is paramount.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quantitative analysis of ginseng extracts in drug formulations and quality control laboratories.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Employed in the standardization of ginseng capsules, tablets, and liquid extracts to guarantee consistent potency and bioactivity.
• Biomedical Research: A key tool for in vitro and in vivo studies investigating the anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-cancer mechanisms of ginsenosides.
• Cosmeceutical Ingredients: Incorporated into advanced skincare formulations for its purported anti-aging and skin-rejuvenating properties.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Used to standardize active ingredient levels in functional foods and health beverages containing ginseng.
• Analytical Method Development: Serves as a critical standard for developing and validating HPLC, UPLC, and LC-MS/MS methods for ginsenoside profiling.
