Bamboo Flavone

Synonyms: Bamboo Leaf Extract, Bamboo Flavone, Phyllostachys pubescens extract, Bamboo Leaf Flavonoids, Bamboo Leaf Polyphenols

Bamboo flavone has gained steady traction among formulators and researchers looking for a plant-based antioxidant that fits clean-label and sustainable sourcing narratives. Unlike exotic botanicals that require complex supply chains, bamboo grows abundantly across Asia, and its leaves have been used in traditional teas and remedies for centuries. The current interest centers on its polyphenolic profile, which offers a practical way to support cellular defense and vascular health without the cost or supply constraints of more premium extracts.

Our bamboo flavone is a standardized extract derived from the leaves of Phyllostachys pubescens, a fast-growing bamboo species widely cultivated in China. The product is processed via water or hydroalcoholic extraction, then concentrated and dried to a fine powder. It is standardized to contain no less than 40% flavones, measured by UV-Vis, making it a reliable, reproducible ingredient for dietary supplements, functional foods, and cosmetic applications.

Product Overview & Composition

Bamboo leaves are rich in flavonoid glycosides, primarily orientin, isoorientin, vitexin, and isovitexin, along with phenolic acids and other polyphenolic compounds. These molecules act as potent free-radical scavengers, and their bioavailability has been studied in various in vitro and animal models. The 40% flavone standardization ensures that each batch delivers a consistent level of these active compounds, which is critical for finished product efficacy and label claims.

The extraction process is designed to preserve the delicate polyphenolic structures while minimizing degradation. Our supplier uses controlled temperature and pH conditions, followed by spray drying to produce a powder with good flowability and stability. The final product is free of common allergens, GMO-free, and suitable for vegetarian and vegan formulations.
