Part1:What is Vine tea extract Dihydromyricetin? & A useful study.
According to research institutes such as China Medical University on the extraction of vine tea produced in Laifeng County (using Jinqi vine tea as a sample), it was found that the main active components of Laifeng vine tea are flavonoids, of which the content of
dihydromyricetin is extremely high. .
Since the magic of Laifeng County vine tea is that the content of flavonoids is as high as 45%, which is 110 times that of ginkgo biloba leaves. Therefore, it has won the reputation of "king of flavonoids", and the flavonoids of vine tea are mainly dihydromyricetin, so there is no doubt that dihydromyricetin is the mystery of the magic of vine tea. Now, let's take a look at the substance dihydromyricetin!
Dihydromyricetin (DMY) is an extract of a wild woody vine (vine tea) belonging to the genus Vitis vinifera, also known as dihydromyricetin, dihydromyricetin, and DMY.
Dimyricetin is one of the main active components of vine tea, with a variety of biological functions, such as free radical scavenging, anti-oxidation, anti-hypertension, anti-thrombosis, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory and other peculiar effects. As a special flavonoid compound, dihydromyricetin has the functions of relieving alcoholism, preventing alcoholic liver and fatty liver, inhibiting the deterioration of liver cells, and reducing the incidence of liver cancer in addition to the general properties of flavonoids. A good product to protect the liver and protect the liver hangover .
A study by Wuhan University found the reason why drinking vine tea increases energy and strength, that is, dihydromyricetin can resist fatigue. This study is a weight-bearing and hypoxia test with mice: put a heavy object on the mouse's back and put it in deeper water. In order not to drown, the mouse can only swim desperately until it runs out of energy and stops. Shan Zhi struggled. The swimming time reflects the physical fitness of the mice. Physical strength is good, persistence time is long, this principle is easy to understand, right? The test found that the rats with the same physique, after eating dihydromyricetin, spent significantly longer swimming time with weight than those who did not drink the dihydromyricetin solution. Therefore, the test proved that dihydromyricetin can improve the physical performance of animals.
Part2：Why can dihydromyricetin improve the physical fitness of animals?
Further research found that dihydromyricetin can increase the amount of liver glycogen in mice, reduce the amount of serum lactate and urea nitrogen, and play an anti-fatigue effect by promoting the biosynthesis of mitochondria in skeletal muscle. What does that mean? Some people may not understand. Liver glycogen is the body's energy reserve, like the fuel tank of a car. The more oil in the car, the farther you can run; the greater the glycogen reserve in the liver, the more energy you have. Serum lactic acid is an undesirable substance produced by the decomposition of glucose during animal exercise, which makes the body feel sore and weak. Dihydromyricetin decomposes lactic acid, so people will not feel tired. Mitochondria are where the body produces energy, like an engine. Dihydromyricetin promotes mitochondrial biosynthesis, as if the body has a strong enough number of engines.
After drinking vine tea, people feel energetic and full of energy. Tujia people have understood the benefits of vine tea since ancient times, but they do not know the mystery. Modern scientific research has made everyone understand the reason. Diabetic patients are particularly prone to fatigue due to the obstacles in absorbing sugar and having less glycogen reserves in the liver. If you often drink vine tea, your energy reserves will go up, and you will have strength.
Part3:Vine tea with such high levels of dihydromyricetin is rare in the world.
According to the data from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the vine tea is the stem and leaves of the Vitis vinifera grape, which grows on the mountains at an altitude of 800-1500 meters, and is a typical tea-like plant. vine tea has been used in the folk for a long time. The plant is sweet, light, and cool in nature. It has the functions of clearing away heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and pain, dispelling rheumatism, and strengthening muscles and bones. It is a medicinal plant rich in health care value. The health tea made from the leaves is mainly used to treat yellow bile hepatitis, cold wind-heat, sore throat, acute conjunctivitis, etc. The total flavonoids extracted from vine tea have the effects of lowering blood sugar and blood lipids.
Dihydromyricetin is a kind of flavonoids in plants. It was first isolated and extracted from the stems and leaves of vine tea by Chinese scientists in 1966. Dihydromyricetin is a white needle-like crystal with a molecular formula of C15H12O8, which is easily soluble in hot water and hot alcohol. Scientists used chromatography to determine the content of dihydromyricetin in different parts of the vine tea plant and found that the highest content was in the young stems and leaves. As an important flavonoid component, it is rare in the world that the content of dihydromyricetin in a natural plant is so high.
Part4:Dihydromyricetin has two major characteristics:
1.Strong effect. There are thousands of substances in the world, and there are generally many varieties of substances with the same function, but substances with different molecular structures have different degrees of effect. For example, when it comes to sweetness, sugar cane, apples, and sweet radishes have different sweetness levels because they contain different types of sugar; when it comes to sourness, the sourness of vinegar is different from that of hawthorn and the sourness of oranges. Compared with ginkgo flavonoids and danshen flavonoids, dihydromyricetin has a very unique and peculiar effect. Therefore, dihydromyricetin has more prominent medicinal and health effects and higher scientific value.
2.Various functions. Dihydromyricetin is the main force of vine tea to exert its magical effect. It has many functions, not only non-flavonoid substances are difficult to match with it, but also flavonoid substances are far inferior to it.
Because of the magic of vine tea, the current vine tea flavonoids have become an international hot spot in the research and development of green drugs. It can inhibit the aggregation of platelets in vitro and the formation of thrombus in the body, remove blood scale in the blood, regulate blood lipids, lower blood pressure, soften blood vessels, regulate the absorption function of renal tubules, and regulate sleep. , to improve the effects of frequent urination and urgency.
Part5:Broad prospects for dihydromyricetin
Vine tea, a traditional ethnic medicinal tea rooted in the Wuling Mountains, has gradually been unveiled with the continuous deepening of various researches. Many studies in recent years have confirmed that dihydromyricetin has a wide range of pharmacological effects, and many research institutions have entered into the molecular and cellular levels, and more animal experiments and clinical studies are also being carried out. Experts test that dihydromyricetin will play a huge role in the future.
In recent years, anti-tumor pharmacodynamics studies have found that dihydromyricetin small molecule compounds have strong anti-cancer effects. Dihydromyricetin has obtained invention patent authorization in the field of preparation of anti-leukemia and nasopharyngeal drugs, and has been prepared to enter the clinical trial stage as a new drug, which is expected to provide a new therapeutic drug for the majority of leukemia and nasopharyngeal cancer patients.
Dihydromyricetin can be called the natural nemesis of bacterial viruses, tumors, "three highs" and other diseases, so some people worry about whether it will affect people's health and whether it can be consumed for a long time? Experts naturally took this into consideration, and they conducted acute toxicity tests on rats with dihydromyricetin (5.0 g kg) in accordance with the requirements of the "Technical Specifications for the Inspection and Evaluation of Acute Toxicity Tests for Health Foods". During the observation period, no abnormalities were found in the skin, mucous membranes, coat color, eyes, respiration, circulation, autonomic activity, central nervous system, and behavioral performance of the rats. There were no significant changes in the acute toxicity evaluation indicators of the rats, indicating that Vine tea (dihydromyricetin) has good food safety. According to this ratio, a 60 kg person will not have any adverse changes after eating 1 kg of dried vine tea at a time.
