Natural 98% Shikimic Acid Powder Star Anise Extract Powder 10:1

Star anise extract is derived from the star-shaped fruits of Illicium verum, a plant native to Southwest China and Vietnam. Renowned for its antiviral, digestive, and antimicrobial properties, this extract is particularly valued for its high shikimic acid content.

Shikimic acid is a key cyclohexane carboxylic acid and a critical biochemical intermediate in the shikimate pathway, primarily extracted from Chinese star anise (Illicium verum). It gained global prominence as the primary precursor for oseltamivir the frontline antiviral drug for influenza.
