Introduction
Chrysanthemum (ju hua) has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,500 years for eye-related complaints, heat-clearing, and circulatory support. The dried flowers are also consumed as a popular herbal tea throughout East Asia, providing a substantial natural food-use safety baseline.
Industrial production proceeds by hot-water or hydroethanolic extraction of dried flowers, followed by purification and standardization to defined flavonoid content.
Recognized as a permitted food ingredient in China, the U.S. (GRAS), and most international markets.
Modern research has identified anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and mild antihypertensive activities for Chrysanthemum extract. The flavonoid fraction (apigenin, luteolin glycosides, and acacetin glycosides) drives the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory positioning.
Strategic positioning combines Traditional Chinese Medicine eye-health applications (classical formulas like Qi Ju Di Huang Wan), the substantial Asian functional-beverage market (chrysanthemum tea), and modern supplement applications leveraging the flavonoid profile.
