Shikimic Acid Powder

Shikimic Acid, first discovered in Japanese mugwort and widely found in plants like star anise, is extracted as a water-soluble white crystalline powder. This organic compound primarily serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of antiviral and anticancer drugs, particularly becoming one of the key raw materials for manufacturing the flu medication.

In layman's terms, it serves as the "guardian" against avian influenza viruses in Asia. As a monomer compound extracted from the herb Acanthopanax senticosus (commonly known as star anise) native to China, it exhibits anti-inflammatory properties that help alleviate digestive disorders, chronic inflammation, and oxidative-related diseases. Moreover, it can assist in combating drug-resistant bacterial infections such as Staphylococcus aureus. In agriculture,Shikimic Acid derived from Acanthopanax senticosus could be developed into natural pesticides or plant growth regulators.

The key ingredient in the anti-influenza drug oseltamivir is commonly used to treat influenza viruses. Scientific research has shown that shikimic acid powder possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential anti-tumor activities. Its benefits are often seen in the pharmaceutical field, as well as in plant metabolism, and it can also aid plant growth in agriculture.It can also regulate the body's immunity to a certain extent and enhance the body's resistance function.It is beneficial for the body when used in the fields of pharmaceuticals, health supplements, pesticides, and daily diet intake.
