"Ecdysone", also known as "peeling hormone", with the chemical formula of c27h44o7, is an active substance extracted from the roots of cyanotis arachnoidea C. B. Clarke, a plant of Commelinaceae. According to different purity, it can be divided into white, gray white, light yellow or light brown crystalline powder.

Pharmacological health care effect
[pharmacological health care effect] ecdysone acts on human body, promoting collagen protein synthesis, anti arrhythmia and anti fatigue; Promote cell growth, stimulate dermal cell division and eliminate cholesterol in the body; Reduce blood lipid and inhibit the rise of blood glucose; It has physiological activities such as dredging meridians and activating collaterals, dehumidification and analgesia. It is a natural anticancer agent. Since the advent of Chlorella ecdysone in 1976, irregular tablets, injections and plasters have been developed. Folk use for rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatism and arthritis patients with different symptoms have better curative effect. Its effective component 20- hydroxyxy molosterone has been proved by clinical research to have direct hypoglycemic effect, and has a total effective rate of 84% for type II diabetes, especially for diabetic patients.
In terms of sports health products, ecdysone has a significant ability to stimulate protein synthesis in muscle cytoplasm by increasing amino acids to assemble into protein chains, and this ability goes back to the translation and migration process of protein growth. Ecdysone is not only beneficial to health but also safe. It helps to stabilize cells when cortisol is injured, normalize energy synthesis steps (ATP and sarcosine) and improve liver function, so that organisms can quickly adapt to changes in environment and pressure. After more than 50 studies, ecdysone has no side effects, no interaction with hormones, and the toxicity level is very low. When tested by ICN biochemical laboratory in 1998, the data showed that ecdysone must reach an ultra-high dose of 6400mg / kg in order to show toxicity. Moreover, there are no reports on the effect of ecdysone on mammalian hormonal system in endocrine tests including testosterone, cortisol, insulin, corticotropin, growth hormone and luteinizing hormone.
Other applications
Aquaculture application
In sericulture, it is used to shorten the age of silkworm, cluster neatly, and promote silk spinning and cocooning; Ecdysone is a necessary substance for the growth, development and shelling metamorphosis of aquatic crustaceans - shrimp and crab. It is the main raw material of "shelling hormone"; This product is suitable for the artificial cultivation of aquatic crustaceans such as shrimp and crab and ground insects. After adding this product, shrimp and crab can shell smoothly, promote the consistency of shrimp and crab shelling, effectively avoid killing each other among individuals, and significantly improve the survival rate of aquaculture and commodity specifications.
Cosmetic application
In cosmetics, high-purity ecdysterone, also known as "ecdysterone", is generally used after special treatment. It is a pure white crystalline powder or colorless transparent crystal. It has a single component, has no allergic reaction to the skin, has strong permeability, and can be quickly absorbed by the skin in the liquid state; It is an effective substance that can enhance cell metabolism and activation. It has good exfoliation, spot removal and whitening effects. It has a good repair effect on facial chloasma, traumatic black spots, freckles and melanin. In addition, it also has an obvious effect on acne. In promoting the synthesis of collagen protein, it is much higher than any product on the existing market.
Agricultural application
Ecdysone can promote the molting and metamorphosis of insects. High dose ecdysone can disrupt the normal metabolic process of insects, make insects molt or metamorphose early and become micro adults or deformed individuals. Insects are very sensitive to ecdysone. Light cases can cause insect infertility, and heavy cases can lead to death.
