Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to
24 months(2-8C).
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20C. Generally, these will be useable for up to two weeks. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

The packaging of the product may have turned upside down during transportation, resulting in the natural compounds adhering to the neck or cap of the vial. take the vial out of its packaging and gently shake to let the compounds fall to the bottom of the vial. for liquid products, centrifuge at 200-500 RPM to gather the liquid at the bottom of the vial. try to avoid loss or contamination during handling.

Pinoresinol Diglucoside is Screened as a Putative alpha-Glucosidase Inhibiting Compound in Actinidia arguta leaves.[Reference:
WebLink]
Actinidia arguta leaves are consumed as a popular food material in Korea and have been reported to exert beneficial effects on humans due to its constituent polyphenolic compounds.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
In this study, the alpha-glucosidase inhibitory compounds in A. arguta were screened and identified through alpha-glucosidase-guided fractionation and metabolomic analysis. The 50% ethanol extracts of A. arguta showed strong inhibitory effect (32.6%), which was comparable to acarbose as a positive control (30.0%). Through multiple steps of fractionation, pinoresinol diglucoside and fertaric acid were identified as the major potent compounds in A. arguta inhibiting alpha-glucosidase activity by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis and metabolomic comparison. Particularly, because pinoresinol and its glycosides have been demonstrated as alpha-glucosidase inhibitory agents, pinoresinol diglucoside was proposed to be a putative key compound for alpha-glucosidase inhibition in A. arguta.
CONCLUSIONS:
This is the first study demonstrating the anti-diabetic effect of a pinoresinol-containing fraction of A. arguta and would be useful for its application as a natural alpha-glucosidase inhibitor.
