Ferulic acid
It is a natural phenolic acid extracted from a variety of plants, and its chemical name is 4-hydroxy-methoxycinnamic acid.
It exists widely in nature, especially in Ferula assa-foetida L. and Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort
Ferulic acid, chemically known as 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid,
is an aromatic acid found in the plant kingdom and is also a component of cork. Ferulic acid rarely exists in free state in plants,
but mainly forms conjugated states with oligosaccharides, polyamines, lipids and polysaccharides

The Function of Ferulic acid
1. Skin protection and beauty benefits
Ferulic acid has multiple protective effects on the skin, including whitening, anti-radiation and anti-oxidation
Whitening:
Ferulic acid can inhibit the production of melanin, improve skin tone, and make skin look more hydrated and shiny.
Radiation resistance:
Ferulic acid has the ability of sunscreen, can effectively absorb ultraviolet rays, prevent or reduce ultraviolet damage to the skin.
Antioxidant:
Ferulic acid can promote the body's production of glutathione and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP),
and then destroy free radicals, reduce UV damage to the skin.
2. Protective effect of cardiovascular system
Ferulic acid can inhibit platelet aggregation, inhibit the release of platelet serotonin, inhibit the production of platelet thromboxane A2(TXA2),
enhance prostaglandin activity, relieve pain, relieve vasospasm and other effects, which help to protect the cardiovascular system.
3. Central nervous system protection
Sodium ferulate can protect brain nerve function, reduce brain injury,
and can be used as an auxiliary therapy for a variety of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
4. Antioxidant and free radical scavenging
Ferulic acid can remove free radicals, promote the production of free radical scavenging enzymes,
increase the activities of glutathione transsulfurase and quinone reductase, and inhibit tyrosinase activity to regulate human physiological function.
5. Other potential pharmacological effects
Ferulic acid also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, tumor inhibition, prevention of hypertension,
heart disease, enhance sperm motility and other health functions
