Lophatherum Essence is the first health food for China's aerospace astronauts

Lophatherum Essence is the first high-tech natural health food in the world developed from bamboo leaf flavones and coumarin lactones using advanced processing technology. It is also a special health food for China's aerospace industry. Its raw materials come from the bamboo leaf grown in Zhejiang, China, which contains a rich variety of bioactive components and nutriments that are important to our health, and is an ideal plant that can be used as both food and medicine.

Bamboo is one of the most valuable plants in the world. Its application as medicine was recorded as early as 1500 years ago in Chinese medical books of different times. Bamboo leaf also has a long history of application as both food and medicine in China. Profound researches on bamboo leaf has allowed its extract to be used extensively in the fields that include medicine, food, anti-oxidant and cosmetics.

Lophatherum Essence takes bamboo leaf as main ingredient and is refined by modern biotechnology. It has become a favorable choice by consumers since its debut on the market years ago.

It is clinically proven by Shanghai First People's Hosiptal: the flavone from bamboo leaf can eliminate various active oxygen-derived free radicals, inhibit the peroxidation of lipids, cleanse blood vessels, and has good effect on cardio-cerebral vascular protection. Furthermore, flavone extracted from bamboo leaf also has a good immunoregulation function that will significantly promote the resistance of body to adverse environment and diseases.

Bamboo leaf can be consumed either as food or medicine. It is safe and with no toxic or adverse effect. Its safety is comparable to that of other medicinal-edible plants including Chinese date, ginger, honey, medlar, lotus leaf, and fresh reed rhizome. Researches show that no toxic and adverse effect is associated with bamboo leaf flavone, and it is free of hormones and anti-nutrition factors. It will participate in metabolism and be immediately discharged from the body without accumulation, and thus has edibility with great safety.
