Product Introduction

Eucommia is mainly grown in temperate regions of Asia mostly in China such as Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan. The medicinal use of Eucommia ulmoides dates back to ancient Traditional Medicinal Chinese (TCM) including the texts of Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic (Huangdi Neijing) (475-221BC) . It has been used classically as a combination with other medicinal herbs or as a single agent to treat lower back pain and knees and strengthening the tendons and bones. In addition, it has also been used for prevention of miscarriage In modern medicine, majority of the preliminary data lend support to its use in osteoporosis, arthritis, hypertension with purported actions such as anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. From the long historical usage of over 2000 years and numerous preclinical and clinical studies, Eucommia ulmoides proves to be safe and non-toxic.However, there is no substantial evidence on its use during pregnancy, lactation and childhood.

Eucommia ulmoides Oliv is a genus of Eucommia in Eucommiaceae, which contains high content of chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic acid,also known as 3-car-feoyquinic acid, is a phenylpropanoid synthesized by the intermediate product of pentose phosphate pathway (HMS) during aerobic respiration in plants (Gao Jinming et al., 1999). In recent years, the results showed that the content of chlorogenic acid in Eucommia ulmoides leaves was high, up to 1-5.5 (Zang Youwei, 1989). Chlorogenic acid has a variety of pharmacological effects (Zhang anling et al., 2OO1) such as cholagogic, antibacterial, antiviral, antihypertensive, increasing white blood cells and exciting the central nervous system. It is an important raw material for health products, food, medicine, cosmetics and other industries. Therefore, the production of chlorogenic acid from Eucommia ulmoides leaves has great social and economic benefits.
