🌿 Phytochemicals: Nature’s Bioactive Powerhouses
Discover the compounds behind the healing power of plants.
At Nicos Labs, phytochemicals are at the heart of what we do. These naturally occurring plant compounds aren’t just the building blocks of our extracts — they’re the key to unlocking health, vitality, and innovation in your product line.
🔬 What Are Phytochemicals?
Phytochemicals are bioactive compounds produced by plants to protect themselves from pests, pathogens, and environmental stress. In humans, they offer a wide range of health benefits, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, adaptogenic, and antimicrobial effects.
Common Classes of Phytochemicals:
- Flavonoids – Support cardiovascular and immune health (e.g., quercetin, catechins)
- Alkaloids – Act on the nervous system (e.g., caffeine, berberine)
- Terpenoids – Found in essential oils; anti-inflammatory and mood-supportive
- Saponins – Support immune response and cholesterol balance
- Tannins – Natural astringents with antimicrobial properties
- Phenolic Acids – Potent antioxidants (e.g., chlorogenic acid, rosmarinic acid)
