Abstract
Eucommia ulmoides Oliver (EUO), a traditional Chinese herb, contains a variety of bioactive chemicals, including lignans, iridoids, phenolics, steroids, terpenoids, flavonoids, etc. These bioactive chemicals possess the effective function in nourishing the liver and kidneys and regulating blood pressure. The composition of bioactive chemicals extracted from EUO vary in the different functional parts (leaves, seeds, bark, and staminate flower) and planting models. The bioactive parts of EUO are widely used as raw materials for medicine and food, powdery extracts, herbal formulations, and tinctures. These capabilities hold potential for future development and commercial exploitation of the bioactive products from EUO.Entities:
