Lippia citriodora
- Family Verbenaceae
- Native to South America and introduced to Europe
- Relaxing, carminative and digestive properties
Lippia citriodora extract rich in Verbascoside.
The polyphenol Verbascoside is obtained from Lippia citriodora. Verbascoside, also known as Acteoside, is spontaneously produced by Lippia citriodora as a defence agent, mainly to protect itself against insect and parasite attacks and UV radiation.
ABR, through its NATRISE® biotechnology platform, produces purified, standardised and highly concentrated Verbascoside from suspended cell cultures of Lippia citriodora.
The production of Verbascoside with NATRISE® safeguards the plant of origin, Lippia citriodora, as only a tiny portion of it is needed to start the cell line. Moreover, production is completely independent of seasonality, climatic changes and the plant’s vegetative cycle and takes place in a controlled, sterile environment.
