H. dulcis contains a variety of biologically active compounds (antioxidants, flavonoids) including hovenia-based saponin derivatives, dammarane-type triterpene, hodulosides, and flavonoids hovenodulinol, hovenitins I, II and III, -catechin,(+)-afzelechin, dihydrokaempferol,...,Quercetin,Taxifolin, Myricetin, Dihydromyricetin (DHM, or Ampelopsin).* (2)
______________________________________________
DHM (Dihydromyricetin / Ampelopsin) and Hovenia:
Hovenia dulcis is known as a premier source of DHM, however, in its fruits and berry part, the natural level is inherently low, and is considered safe.*
In compliance with MFDS (Korea FDA) requirements, LifeTree pursues Neither highly concentrated Nor isolated DHM, due to its unique molecular structural characteristics.
