Troxerutin, also known as vitamin P4, is a derivative of flavonoid rutin and can be extracted from Sophora japonica. Rutin is difficult to dissolve in water and difficult to exert its pharmacological activity. In order to solve the water solubility problem of rutin, rutin can be converted into troxerutin through hydroxyethylation technology.
This raw material is easily soluble in water, stable to light and heat, and odorless. The four hydroxyl groups and one rutinose molecule in its molecular structure are the reasons for its biological activity. This product is the main ingredient of many nutritional health products.
