APPLICATIONS
THE NEXT GENERATION OF BOTANICAL EXTRACTS IS HERE
Almost 15 years in the making, RedLeaf’s polyphenol-rich sorghum leaf extracts mark a once-in-decade leap forward in the science and performance of natural products.
With over 100 times the flavonoid content of typical botanical extracts, our sorghum leaf bioactives and botanicals deliver a range of benefits across dietary supplement, cosmetic, and food & beverage applications.
Our sorghum leaf extracts are non-GMO, sustainably produced and responsibly sourced, exceeding the rigorous expectations of today’s consumers. And sorghum leaf extracts are water soluble, highly stable and odorless, allowing for seamless formulation in a wide range of products and form factors.
HEALTH & WELLNESS
The bioactive properties of red sorghum polyphenols have been reported in many papers and studies over the years — and the potential health benefits have been known in traditional cooking and healing for much longer.
Extracts and foods from red sorghum are packed with a range of rare polyphenols and flavonoids found exclusively in the plant kingdom. These compounds give RedLeaf’s sorghum leaf extracts distinctive bioactivity, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties.
RedLeaf’s Sorghum Bioflavonoid Complex is now making concentrated red sorghum leaf polyphenols available for the first time in products such as supplements, functional food and beverages, and medical foods.
At 25-35% polyphenol content, RedLeaf Sorghum Bioflavonoid Complex is packed with significant natural compounds like luteolinidin, quercetin, and myricetin. It’s also one of the only sources of 3-deoxyanthocyanidins, a rare and ancient class of anthocyanidin known to be a natural source of antioxidants and a number of other potential health benefits.
CONSISTENT WITH OTHER RESEARCH INTO RED SORGHUM POLYPHENOLS, OUR STUDIES HAVE SHOWN REDLEAF SORGHUM BIOFLAVONOID COMPLEX POSSESSES DISTINCTIVE BIOACTIVITY IN MULTIPLE CELLULAR MODELS:
Significant and dose-dependent reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines in several cellular models of inflammation
Ability to reduce oxidative stress through several cellular mechanisms.
Supports important growth factors associated healthy immune response.
