Our ursolic acid supplement is extracted from the leaves of the Japanese loquat tree:
Supersmart’s ursolic acid supplement comes in vegetarian capsules and provides significant benefits for your overall well-being. In studies, it has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and shown to inhibit some viruses. The leaves of the Japanese loquat tree (Eriobotrya japonica) contain valuable substances known as oleanolic acid, amygdalin, and ursolic acid. They also contain pentacyclic triterpene.
There are only a few foods high in ursolic acid, including fruit skins, such as apples and grapes, as well as common herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, oregano, and sage. While eating ursolic acid foods is a good way to increase intake naturally, it can be difficult to consume enough of those foods to meet your daily requirement. That makes supplements one of the best sources of ursolic acid.
Ursolic acid and its isomer, oleanolic acid, are chemically almost identical. Their structure only differs in the position within the methyl group (CH3). However, both offer potentially vital health benefits.
So, what is ursolic acid used for? In nature, ursolic acid is found in a variety of plants, but you can also take ursolic acid capsules to ensure proper intake. So far, the science regarding ursolic acid health benefits is largely preliminary, but studies continue to exhibit potential advantages. One study indicates that there may be ursolic acid skin benefits, while another study indicates an increase in skeletal muscle growth.
While we don't have all of the evidence needed yet, it's clear that people take ursolic acid supplements to promote their overall well-being.
Ursolic acid has traditionally been used for the skin as it appears to repair damaged tissue in the cutaneous barrier and scalp. Taking ursolic acid for skin care may also protect against photo-aging and could be a potent inhibitor of elastase, an enzyme present in the skin which attacks structural proteins.
With its multitude of properties, ursolic acid is an important addition to the range of phytoceutical resources available for anti-aging in general.
Because ursolic acid has also shown to have anti-infection effects and inhibits some viruses, it is used to promote overall health. Recent studies on rats have even indicated that its inhibitory power (reversible) on human leukocyte elastase may have potential in combating inflammatory lung infections, such as the H1N1 and SARS viruses. Ursolic acid also has shown anti-microbial and immune-stimulant effects, specifically against the effects of tuberculosis, according to one study.
Other research shows it may inhibit memory impairment by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase — reducing the enzymatic degradation of acetylcholine and improving cholinergic transmission.
Studies show ursolic acid may be beneficial to the body’s muscles. Potential benefits of ursolic acid for muscles include:
Ursolic acid has been studied to be a powerful and natural anti-inflammatory that inhibits human leukocyte elastase (HLE) as well as 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase-2 activity and prostaglandin synthesis. Other potential ursolic acid supplement benefits are its antioxidant and anti-MMP-9 (matrix metalloproteinase-9) effects.
Those wishing to achieve a more sculpted figure may be interested in other supplements available to buy at Supersmart, such as Crominex® 3+ for muscle mass/fat mass ratio. For muscle weakness, molecules with anti-aging effects, like Nicotinamide Mononucleotide are available as nutritional supplements.

Even with the best ursolic acid supplements, it’s important to follow the instructions on the label. To receive the maximum health benefits of ursolic acid, we recommend taking three to six vegetarian capsules, totaling 300 mg of ursolic acid, daily. We recommend taking the capsules throughout the day, rather than taking all six capsules at once. Supersmart’s ursolic acid supplements should be stored away from direct light, heat, and humidity.
