Small thistle (Shoukei, scientific name: Cirsium japonicum) is an herb that has been traditionally used in Chinese medicine for its detoxifying, hemostatic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-swelling properties, particularly for improving liver function and alleviating bleeding symptoms. Modern research has highlighted its content of flavonoids (such as luteolin and apigenin) and its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Our small thistle extract is made from carefully selected whole plants and is a powdered form extracted and concentrated using our unique low-temperature water extraction and spray-drying technology, preserving the active ingredients. It has a mild taste and aroma, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in functional foods, supplements, beverages, and skincare cosmetics. This product is suitable for food, cosmetics, and health food applications, and is free from additives, non-GMO, and animal-derived ingredients. It has a proven track record of exports to numerous countries and regions in Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
