Scutellaria baicalensis Extract is a standardized botanical concentrate derived from the dried root of Scutellaria baicalensis, a perennial herb native to East Asia. Known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Huang Qin (黄芩), it has been used for centuries to treat respiratory infections, gastrointestinal disorders, and inflammatory conditions. The extract is standardized to 85% baicalin, the primary bioactive flavonoid glycoside responsible for many of its therapeutic effects.

Scutellaria baicalenis -5% Baicalin

Baicalin is the 7-O-glucuronide conjugate of baicalein, and although it is less bioavailable than the aglycone form, it is the most abundant flavonoid in the root and serves as a key marker for quality and potency. Baicalin exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective effects. Its mechanisms of action include modulation of NF‑κB, inhibition of lipoxygenase (LOX) and cyclooxygenase (COX), activation of Nrf2-mediated antioxidant pathways, and regulation of apoptosis.

Scutellaria baicalensis Extract (Baicalin 85%) is widely used in dietary supplements, herbal formulations, and research applications targeting immune support, respiratory health, liver protection, and inflammatory conditions.
