The company says it expanded its line following increased demand following a "flurry" of supportive independent research.
Cactus Botanics (Shanghai) has grown its line of myricetin to accommodate growing demand. Myricetin is a flavonoid derivative of Chinese Bayberry bark (Myrica cerifera). The company first introduced myricetin 80% last year. The expanded line now includes myricetin 50%, 80%, and 90%.
The company says that its myricetin is extracted from the bark, leaves, and roots of Myrica cerifera, and is completely water soluble, making it an excellent ingredient for teas.
The firm also cited the latest studies, below, on myricetin, indicating its positive benefits.
