Glycoin® natural

• Revitalization and protection substance of the desert plant Myrothamnus flabellifolia
• Stress protection substance of salt tolerant blue-green algae (“Spirulina")

Glycoin is the only pure and natural Glyceryl natural Glucoside available in the market,
biotechnologically manufactured by a patented sustainable process at bitop AG in Germany. It consists of the specific stereoisomer, which is exclusively present as a stress-protection molecule in the desert resurrection plant Myrothamnus flabellifolia and blue-green algae ("Spirulina").

The small polysaccharide belongs to the group of extremolytes. Extremolytes are stress-protection molecules which protect extremophilic plants and microorganisms from their lethal habitats and allow them to thrive in extreme conditions like salt lakes, deserts, arctic ice or hot springs.

Glycoin® natural is the protection and re-activation substance of the resurrection plant Myrothamnus flabellifolia. These fascinating plants thrive in the deserts of Africa under extreme conditions like long-term dryness, high temperatures and extreme UV-radiation. They have the unique ability to survive very long periods of total dehydration. Then the leaves of the plant shrink and appear dead.

But suddenly the wonder of nature happens: during the rare moments of rainfall in the desert, the plant comes back to life. It re-greens within a few hours. After the rain stops, the plant dries out again, waiting for the next miracle of resurrection.

The stress-protection molecule Glycoin® natural enables the fascinating existence and
resurrection behavior of the Myrothamnus plant. During the desiccation of the plant, Glycoin® natural protects its structures from damage. As soon as water is available again, Glycoin® natural revitalizes the plant by boosting and stimulating its cell functions

Bitop´s Glycoin® Natural is the only enantiopure and 100% natural Glyceryl Glucoside in the market. It exclusively consists of the stereoisomer, which is present as a stress-protection and revitalization substance in the resurrection plant "Myrothamnus and blue-green algae ("Spirulina").
