Product Overview
Dihydromyricetin Hovenia Dulcis Extract is a highly concentrated botanical extract derived from the Hovenia dulcis tree, commonly known as the Japanese raisin tree or oriental raisin tree. Native to East Asia—including China, Korea, and the Himalayan regions—this resilient deciduous tree thrives in well-drained, sandy, or loamy soils at elevations up to 2,000 meters.
For centuries, Hovenia dulcis has been valued in traditional medicine for its detoxifying and hepatoprotective properties. The fruit and seeds are edible, while the extract, rich in dihydromyricetin (DHM), a potent flavonoid, has gained recognition in modern nutritional science for its role in liver protection, alcohol metabolism support, and antioxidant activity.
At Botanical Essence, we specialize in high-purity Dihydromyricetin Hovenia Dulcis Extract, ensuring consistent potency, purity, and compliance with international quality standards. Our extract is ideal for dietary supplement manufacturers, functional food producers, and nutraceutical formulators seeking a scientifically backed ingredient for liver health and detoxification applications.

Scientific Benefits & Applications
1. Liver Protection & Alcohol Detoxification
Dihydromyricetin (DHM) is a bioactive flavonoid with well-documented hepatoprotective and antioxidant properties. Clinical and preclinical studies suggest that Hovenia dulcis extract may:
- Accelerate alcohol metabolism by enhancing the breakdown of ethanol and acetaldehyde.
- Reduce alcohol-induced liver damage by modulating enzymes like AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase).
- Mitigate oxidative stress and inflammation, lowering markers such as LPS (lipopolysaccharide), LBP (LPS-binding protein), and sCD14 (soluble CD14).
2. Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory Effects
- Neutralizes free radicals, protecting cellular structures from oxidative damage.
- Supports liver function by promoting glutathione production, a key antioxidant in detoxification pathways.
3. Potential Applications in Functional Formulations
- Dietary Supplements: Capsules, tablets, and powder blends for liver detox, hangover relief, and metabolic support.
- Functional Beverages: Added to detox teas, energy drinks, and recovery formulations.
- Nutraceuticals & Herbal Remedies: Used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern herbal blends for liver health.
- Cosmeceuticals: Emerging research explores its anti-aging and skin-protective benefits due to its antioxidant profile.
