YARROW FLOWERS, AF

Functional Benefits & Bioactive Highlights

Yarrow’s therapeutic effects are rooted in its rich phytochemistry, including flavonoids, sesquiterpene lactones, phenolic acids, and volatile oils. Here are some of the key functions:

• Wound Healing & Hemostatic Action – Historically, yarrow was used to staunch bleeding and promote wound closure. Its astringent components help constrict blood vessels and support tissue repair.
• Anti-Inflammatory & Skin-Soothing – Extracts of yarrow flowers show anti-inflammatory activity. In topical studies, yarrow reduced redness and restored skin hydration and pH in irritated skin.
• Digestive & Gastrointestinal Support – Yarrow has traditional and experimental evidence for relaxing intestinal smooth muscle, easing cramps, and supporting digestion.
• Circulatory & Vascular Actions – Yarrow contains compounds that may help dilate blood vessels, relax smooth muscle, and support circulation.
• Antioxidant & Cellular Protection – The flavonoids and phenolics in yarrow help activate antioxidant pathways (e.g., Nrf2), protecting cells from oxidative stress.
• Calming & Nervous System Modulation – Some traditional and preclinical work points to yarrow’s ability to modulate stress, support restful sleep, or promote mild relaxation.

Applications of Yarrow Flowers Extract in Nutraceutical & Supplement Formulations

Yarrow Flowers Extract can fit into a variety of supplement categories and specialty blends:

• Digestive Health Products – Use yarrow in capsules or tinctures aimed at mild GI support, bloating, or intermittent digestive discomfort.
• Circulation & Blood Flow Blends – Incorporate into formulas that support vascular health or micro-circulation.
• Women’s Health Supplements – Because of its astringent and circulatory properties, yarrow may support products focused on menstruation, mild cramps, or hormone-balance blends.
• Stress-Resiliency & Relaxation Stacks – Include with other calming botanicals for formulations that support mild stress or wind-down routines.
• Immune-Support Tonics – Its historical use for wound healing and immune support could inspire tonic-style drops or wellness shots.

Why Bio-Botanica’s Yarrow Flowers Extract Stands Out

• Authentic Botanical Material – We source the flowering tops of Achillea millefolium to capture the full spectrum of bioactive compounds found in the flowers.
• High-Quality Extraction – Our process preserves delicate flavonoids, phenolics, and volatile components, delivering a potent yet balanced extract.
• Dual Utility – Optimized for both oral supplements and topical formulations, making it a flexible option for R&D across categories.
• Rigorous Testing – We conduct thorough quality checks — including identity verification and purity testing — to ensure consistent and safe material.
• Sustainable Practices – Harvesting and extraction are done mindfully, supporting the sustainability of this traditional herb while maintaining efficacy.
