Product Overview
Angelica keiskei, commonly known as Ashitaba (Japanese for “Tomorrow’s Leaf”), is a resilient botanical native to the Japanese coastline. It is unique in the plant kingdom for its high concentration of Chalcones—specifically 4-hydroxyderricin and xanthoangelol—found in its characteristic yellow sap.
SRBio Ashitaba Extract is produced using advanced low-temperature extraction technology to preserve these delicate polyphenolic compounds. It is a premier ingredient for the “Longevity,” “Metabolic Support,” and “Nutricosmetic” markets, providing a science-led foundation for products targeting cellular health and systemic wellness.

Key Advantages
1. Rich in Autophagy-Inducing Chalcones
Ashitaba is a natural source of 4-hydroxyderricin (4-HD), a compound scientifically recognized for its ability to support autophagy—the body’s natural cellular recycling process. By promoting the removal of damaged cellular components, SRBio Ashitaba Extract supports long-term cellular integrity and functional longevity.
2. Advanced Metabolic Regulation
The chalcones in Ashitaba act as potent metabolic signaling molecules. They help maintain healthy lipid and glucose metabolism pathways, making this extract a valuable core ingredient for formulations targeting metabolic balance and healthy weight management.
3. Potent Antioxidant & Skin Support
Beyond metabolic health, Ashitaba chalcones offer robust protection against environmental oxidative stress. In nutricosmetic applications, it supports the skin’s natural structural resilience and radiance from the inside out, shielding cells from reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Manufacturing Excellence
Bio-Active Preservation Process
The yellow sap of Ashitaba is highly sensitive to heat and oxidation. SRBio utilizes a proprietary cold-chain extraction and vacuum-drying process to ensure that the chalcone concentration remains undenatured and biologically active, delivering the full potency of the raw plant.
