They are key ingredients in immune-boosting capsules, powders, and tonics, especially popular during flu seasons or for individuals with weakened immunity.

Antioxidant and Anti-aging: With strong antioxidant properties, these polysaccharides scavenge free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and cellular damage. They are used in anti-aging supplements to slow down the aging process, improve skin elasticity, and support overall vitality.

Blood Sugar Regulation: Studies suggest that Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides can help regulate blood glucose levels by improving insulin sensitivity. They are included in supplements designed for diabetics or those at risk of metabolic disorders.

Food Industry:

Functional Food Ingredient: Added to health bars, yogurt, smoothies, and energy drinks, Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides enhance the nutritional value of products. They appeal to health-conscious consumers, providing immune-boosting benefits while adding a natural and slightly sweet flavor.

Natural Thickener: In some food products like jams, jellies, and sauces, the polysaccharides can act as a natural thickening agent, improving texture and stability without the use of synthetic additives.

Cosmetics:

Skin Hydration and Nourishment: When incorporated into creams, serums, and masks, Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides form a protective film on the skin, locking in moisture and preventing water loss. They also promote skin cell regeneration, leaving the skin soft, smooth, and hydrated.

Anti-inflammatory Effects: Soothe irritated and sensitive skin, reducing redness and inflammation. Ideal for products targeting skin conditions such as eczema or rosacea.

Pharmaceuticals:

Adjuvant Therapy Research: Investigated as an adjuvant in cancer treatment, Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides may enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiotherapy while reducing side effects. They also show potential in improving the quality of life for patients during treatment.

Cardiovascular Health Support: Research indicates that these polysaccharides can help lower cholesterol levels, improve blood circulation, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, making them a promising area for pharmaceutical development.
