Discovery of BAIBA
At the beginning of this century, researchers discovered that when humans and animals exercise, the content of a non-protein amino acid called "BAIBA" increases significantly.
This amino acid, also known as β - aminoisobutyric acid, was detected in human urine as early as 1951, but it was not until recently that the scientific community realized its true importance.
When researchers examined the link between physical activity and the changes occurring in the muscle stress response, they discovered compounds released by skeletal muscle during muscle contraction. These compounds were initially called "exercise factors" and later named cytokines. However, the compounds from the skeletal muscle system are now defined as "BAIBA". The discovery of "BAIBA" has opened up an exciting and vast field of research, especially in the field of exercise physiology. BAIBA is a myokine produced in response to exercise stimulation.

Rosmarinic Acid
Rosmarinic acid is a natural water - soluble phenolic acid compound, mainly isolated from the Lamiaceae plant Rosmarinus officinalis. It has a powerful antioxidant effect, even exceeding that of components such as vitamin E, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid. It helps prevent damage to cells caused by free radicals, thus reducing the risk of cancer and arteriosclerosis. In addition, rosmarinic acid also has multiple biological activities such as anti - inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti - tumor effects. It can inhibit acute and chronic infections, resist ultraviolet damage, and prevent the degradation of elastin. Therefore, as an additive in cosmetics, it has extensive application value, being able to remove spots, delay aging, increase skin elasticity, and promote hair health.
The application fields of rosmarinic acid include food, health products, and cosmetics. In the food field, as a natural antioxidant, it can replace preservatives such as BHA and BHT to extend the shelf - life of food. In the health product field, it has anti - tumor, anti - hepatitis, and anti - thrombosis effects. In the cosmetics field, it can effectively improve skin quality and hair health, and is widely used in skin - care and hair - care products, with huge market prospects.
