Overview of Rosmarinic Acid

 

Rosmarinic Acid is a natural polyphenolic compound found in rosemary, basil, and other plants of the Lamiaceae family, used as a dietary supplement and pharmaceutical ingredient for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective benefits.

Known for its potent antioxidant activity and multiple therapeutic properties, Rosmarinic Acid is widely used in nutraceutical formulations, cosmetics, and functional foods for health promotion and disease prevention.

This compound appears as a light yellow to tan powder with limited water solubility and light sensitivity. Its mechanism—antioxidant activity, inhibition of inflammatory mediators, modulation of immune response, and neuroprotective effects—provides comprehensive health benefits across multiple physiological systems.

Related products include Caffeic Acid, Chlorogenic Acid, Carnosic Acid, and other phenolic antioxidants from herbs and plants. May be combined with Fumaric Acid in certain formulations for enhanced stability.
