Healthy LDL cholesterol levels are a key to maintaining cardiovascular health. A clinical study has shown that HTEssence® has a beneficial effect on LDL cholesterol values. (Siefer et al., J Nutr Med Diet Care 2018, 4:025) and can thus make a positive contribution to maintaining heart health HTEssence ® is a nature-identical hydroxytyrosol of superior purity that is produced in a patented process. Available as an odorless, water-soluble powder, it can be used in functional foods and dietary supplements in the form of tablets, capsules, energy bars and functional beverages.
In a clinical trial, HTEssence® achieves a change in the LDL cholesterol level of -8 % compared to the original value (-9,4 mg/dl). Twenty-nine healthy test subjects were each administered with 30 mg of hydroxytyrosol daily for four weeks.
WACKER’s hydroxytyrosol HTEssence® has an antioxidant effect that is 30 times higher than that of vitamin C, providing effective cell protection and a wide range of additional cosmetic advantages. HTEssence® protects the skin against UVB radiation and it can help to prevent the pigment changes and skin spots that typically occur with age. By inhibiting tyrosinase and increasing glutathione levels within the cells, hydroxytyrosol may stimulate pheomelanin production and lead to brighter skin.
HTEssence® is a nature-identical hydroxytyrosol of superior purity that is manufactured in a patented process. The product is available as an odorless, water-soluble powder and in liquid form. It is suitable for preparing functional foods and dietary supplements, such as tablets, capsules, energy bars and functional beverages.
HTEssence® has an oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) of 45,000 μmol TE/g, making it over thirty times more effective than vitamin C at scavenging oxygen radicals. Even after spray drying (20% hydroxytyrosol on maltodextrin), the ORAC value of HTEssence® is still 6.5 times higher than that of vitamin C.
