Products Description

5α-Hydroxy-laxogenin is a naturally derived spirostan-type active compound and an optimized, upgraded version of laxogenin. Its core raw material is entirely sourced from natural plant extraction, using premium root tubers of Smilax glabra as the base ingredient. Through physical grinding, low-temperature extraction, and purification processes, high-purity diosgenin is obtained as the key intermediate. The product appears as a pure white to slightly off-white crystalline powder, fine and uniform in texture, free from clumping or black spots, with a faint, natural phytosterol-like fragrance and no pungent chemical odor or rancid taste-its aroma is clean and pure. As a typical lipid-soluble plant active component, 5α-hydroxy-laxogenin dissolves readily in organic solvents such as DMSO, DMF, anhydrous ethanol, and acetone, enabling rapid dissolution and dispersion.

Function

It effectively promotes protein synthesis in the body, slows down muscle breakdown caused by exercise or metabolic activity, and genuinely supports muscle maintenance and recovery, making it highly suitable for post-high-intensity workout recovery and conditioning.

It has the ability to regulate bodily metabolism, helping to optimize body composition and balance metabolic levels.

It does not interfere with the body's own endocrine system, is non-hormonal, and poses no metabolic burden or strain on the liver and kidneys even with long-term use.

Application

5α-Hydroxy Laxogenin is primarily used by overseas research institutions, dietary supplement manufacturers, and fine formulation development companies, suitable for various compliant commercial and scientific applications.

It is a core ingredient in sports nutrition for muscle building, repair, performance enhancement, and recovery, commonly added to various end products such as capsules, tablets, powders, and oral liquids.

In the field of biological research, this raw material is a commonly used experimental reagent for topics such as muscle metabolism, muscle atrophy repair, and regulation of organismal metabolism. With stable purity and excellent data reproducibility, it fully meets the high standards required by university laboratories and pharmaceutical R&D.
