Vitexin (flavone) dosage

Vitexin is a C-glycosylated flavone naturally present in many medicinal plants such as passionflower (Passiflora incarnata), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), and hawthorn. It belongs to the flavonoid family, known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. Used in dietary supplements for calming, cardiotonic, or vasoregulatory purposes, vitexin is now the subject of growing interest in nutraceuticals.

Vitexin dosage helps ensure the quality, concentration, and compliance of plant extracts used in natural health products. It is essential for standardizing formulations and ensuring their effectiveness.

Analysis methods: HPLC-DAD and LC-MS

Quantitative analysis of vitexin is carried out by high-performance liquid chromatography, using two complementary techniques:

• HPLC-DAD (diode array detection): a robust and common method for measuring vitexin in plant extracts or standardized powders.
• LC-MS (liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry): recommended for complex or low-content matrices, as well as for the search for possible conjugated forms or impurities.

Our partner laboratories apply validated methods that comply with international standards (ISO 17025, ICH, Ph. Eur.), guaranteeing reliable and reproducible results, even on multi-component extracts.

Why measure vitexin?

Vitexin dosage is part of a quality control, product development and regulatory security approach. It allows in particular to:

• Standardize plant extracts for nutraceutical or phytotherapeutic purposes.
• Check the functional activity (antioxidant, soothing, hypotensive) claimed by the manufacturers.
• Control production batches to ensure consistency of formulations.
• Meet health authority requirements for claims or exports to third countries.
• Detect alterations or loss of activity during storage, drying or encapsulation.

Analyzed matrices

Vitexin can be dosed in a wide variety of products and dosage forms:

• Dry plant extracts (passionflower, hawthorn, fenugreek, etc.)
• Micronized vegetable powders
• Food supplements: capsules, tablets, herbal teas in sachets, fluid extracts
• Technical formulations: phytoconstituent complexes, premixes, herbal syrups

Each matrix is ​​prepared according to a suitable protocol in order to maximize the precision of the analysis and the recovery of the target molecule.

Areas of application

Vitexin dosage is essential for several segments of the nutraceutical and herbal product industry:

• Calming or mental well-being food supplements
• Cardiovascular, hypotensive or circulatory products
• Antioxidant and protective formulations against oxidative stress
• Traditional products or products from Chinese, Ayurvedic or European pharmacopoeia
• Research on polyphenols and flavones of pharmacological interest
