1. Flavonoids such as Quinochalcones, Glycosides, Kaempferol and Saffloquinoside

2. Alkaloids such as Feruloylserotonin, Feruloyltryptamine, and Serotonin

3. Fatty acids such as Linolic acid, Oleic acid, Palmitic acid, and Stearic acid results in various effects such as antioxidants (Anti-oxidation), anti-inflammatory (Anti-inflammatory), and anticoagulation.

(Anti-coagulant) safeguards the heart and blood arteries. (Cardiovascular protection) aids in the maintenance of blood sugar levels. Anti-diabetes Mellitus medication inhibits bacteria. (Anti-microbial) protects the liver from poisons. (Hepatoprotective) and can also prevent bacterial development.

Safflower’s anti-inflammatory action (Anti-inflammatory) was shown to alter Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-) and Interleukin (IL)-1b, which are high in Flavonoids and hence have antioxidant activity. (Anti-oxidation) Safflower oil contains linoleic acid and omega fatty acids, which help the skin maintain moisture. Increases flexibility and smoothness, and may be used in a wide range of cosmetic products. It is commonly found in hair and skin care products.

have an antioxidant action (anti-oxidation), thereby aiding in free radical-related symptoms such as irregular lump development Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and ageing are all examples of degenerative diseases.

It also helps to nourish the nerves, encourage the enlargement of blood vessels, and improve blood flow (Anti-coagulant).

Currently, safflower extract formulations and products are being created to improve the stability of extracts or the development of raw material sources extraction process and the process of generating products that are stable and boost the efficiency of active components. In the development of research and natural extracts, TIBD now collaborates with major research institutes both locally and abroad, such as Japan and Brazil. However, if you are interested in co-investing in the form of research development, commercial patent development, or continuing to make product formulae under your brand, you may contact the firm through any method.
