Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS, Lacquer Tree) is a species in the family Anacardiaceae that grows in East Asia. RVS is widely known as lacquer tree because its sap is used to make a highly durable natural-lacquer that is used in the manufacture of lacquerware or as poison ivy because it induces contact dermatitis.In addition to its industrial uses, RVS has been used as food and an ingredient of traditional herbal medicine in Korea since ancient times*(13).

 A number of studies have revealed diverse biological functions of RVS, including anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, and blood circulation.* Rhus verniciflua Stokes heartwood extracts widely consist of Urushiol and Urushiol-Free components.The urushiol-free compounds are known to be flavonoids; Gallic acid,Fustin, Fisetin, Butin,Sulfuretin, Phytoesterone, and Butane are the major and beneficial flavonoids compounds in the extract.

 (Urushiol is known as an allergenic property in the Rhus verniciflua.)

LifeTree R&D successfully separated and removed the very toxic compound named Urushiol from the tree extract with an exceptional technology. Currently, the urushiol content from other RVS extracts is usually more than 1 ppm, but LifeTree Biotech has succeeded in lowering the urushiol content

in the RVS extract to about 25 ppb.
