Product Description:

Geniposide, also known as geniposide, an iridoid glucosides, soluble in water, is the main medicinal ingredient gardenia, content with different origin at around 3% -8%. Geniposide β- glucosidase can be hydrolyzed to genipin). Modern research shows that have a significant effect geniposide of the digestive system, the cardiovascular system and central nervous system diseases, in addition, geniposide there is a certain anti-inflammatory and treatment of soft tissue injury. Geniposide addition to pharmaceutical, in other areas have also been widely used, such as used as plant yield, biological agent detection.

Geniposide is extracted from the fruit of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. The product can be used to make natural pigments such as gardenia blue, gardenia red and gardenia green, or as pharmaceutical material in drugs for cerebral vascular disease and cardiovascular disease.

Geniposide is an iridoid glycoside with a variety of biological activities including neuroprotective, anti-diabetic, antiproliferative, and antioxidative activity. Geniposide has been shown to regulate Nrf2 translocation and upregulate downstream antioxidant protein HO-1 expression through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, which may account for its neuroprotective and antioxidative activity. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor may also play a critical role in geniposide induced HO-1 expression.
