Corosolic Acid
Corosolic acid is a pentacyclic triterpenoid acid isolated from Lagerstroemia speciosa (banaba) and other plant sources, supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder at 98% purity.
The molecule carries a hydroxyl group at the 2-position of the ursane skeleton together with a carboxylic acid, a combination that gives it strong lipophilicity, good crystallinity and the ability to interact with carbohydrate-processing enzymes and glucose transporters. Standardised plant extracts are therefore valued as functional ingredients in metabolic-health products.
The powder should be stored in a closed container in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture, heat and strong light to prevent degradation.
• Blood-sugar support: the most widely studied application, where it is formulated into dietary supplements for glucose metabolism and insulin-response support.
• Weight-management formulas: combined with other botanical extracts in capsules and sachets targeting body-composition and metabolic wellness.
• Cosmetic and personal care: used in skin-care preparations for its antioxidant and sebum-regulating properties.
• Nutraceutical manufacturing: supplied as a standardised extract for tablets, capsules and functional beverages, and used as a reference standard in HPLC assay of banaba-derived products.
