Vitexin, a key component in Hawthorn Leaf Extract, is primarily used in treating cardiovascular diseases. With a purity of >98% (HPLC), it is widely utilized in clinical medicine, particularly in vitexin injections. Its main functions include promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and regulating qi and the pulse. It is effective for symptoms caused by blood stasis such as chest tightness, breathlessness, chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, and tinnitus, as well as for conditions like coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, hyperlipidemia, and heart artery insufficiency.
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are leading causes of death worldwide, contributing to over 12 million deaths annually. The high prevalence and mortality rates have driven the development of drugs targeting these conditions. Among the top-selling drugs, cardiovascular treatments account for a significant share, with vitexin-based products rapidly gaining popularity in the market due to their proven efficacy in promoting blood circulation and improving heart health.
Additionally, vitexin has shown potential in cancer prevention and as an anti-tumor agent. Research indicates that vitexin exhibits cytotoxic effects on human cancer cells, including lung and colon cancer cells. Studies have also demonstrated its ability to inhibit carcinogenic factors such as nitrosamines and aflatoxins, which are known to contribute to digestive tract cancers. Therefore, hawthorn, rich in vitexin, can aid in digestion and support cancer prevention for individuals at high risk or those already diagnosed with cancer.
Many manufacturers produce vitexin extracts, including hawthorn extract, with vitexin as the active ingredient. However, the content of vitexin in these extracts is typically around 5%.
