Bupleurum: an important plant in traditional Asian medicine
The herbaceous perennial plant Bupleurum falcatum, or hare’s ear, belongs to the Apiaceae family.
It is extremely polymorphic.
Hare’s ear has been commonly used for millennia in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine.
This perennial plant is rich in saikosaponins
Among its various components, Bupleurum falcatum contains saikosaponins A, B, C and D.
The supplement Saikosaponin A, as its name suggests, contains saikosaponins in A form.
Focus on saikosaponin A
This triterpenoid glycoside is a very rare and costly form to obtain, since 50 g of Bupleurum would need to be consumed to obtain only 4 mg of saikosaponin A.
Several scientific studies have been devoted to this substance (1–4).
Far from being confined to Asian borders, saikosaponin A is becoming increasingly well known in the West.
What is in Saikosaponin A
Any questions?
Our team of nutrition experts and scientists has the answers.
The benefits of saikosoaponin A capsules are enhanced when it is combined, though not simultaneously, with other anti-ageing substances. Supplementation with saikosaponin A is recommended on a non-continuous or alternating basis, ie, every other week, with Astragaloside IV or Cycloastragenol, which activates the telomerase gene, and with Resveratrol and its derivatives, which activate the P53 gene, all available to buy at Supersmart. Though it is still too soon to establish a strict administration protocol for this product, the following can be used as a basis:
- Either a 4mg dose of saikosaponin A in the evening, and astragaloside IV and/or cycloastragenol in the morning.
- Or you can alternate these products every other day. No adverse reaction has been observed to date.
Caution: as saikosaponin A is a vasodilator, comparable to niacin, it should not be taken by anyone using coronary vasodilators, or by pregnant women or nursing mothers.
This product’s capsules are composed of HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a plant substance derived from cellulose. HPMC is widely used for medicines and dietary supplements. It contains no animal ingredients, is recognised as safe by health authorities and is considered more sustainable than synthetic alternatives.
