Dried Guava Leaf (Psidium guajava)

Dried Guava Leaf (Psidium guajava) — Premium Vietnamese Export Herb

Dried guava leaves from Vietnam rank among the most bioactive medicinal botanicals in Southeast Asia’s export market. VinFruits Global sources premium dried Psidium guajava leaves from verified Vietnamese farms certified to FDA, HACCP and VietGAP standards, offering consistent quality for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, herbal tea and cosmetic manufacturers worldwide.

About the Product

Vietnam’s tropical climate — abundant sunshine, well-drained laterite soils and high humidity — creates ideal conditions for cultivating guava trees with exceptionally high concentrations of bioactive compounds. The leaves harvested for export measure 11–16 cm in length and 5–7 cm in width, at the peak stage of active-compound accumulation. VinFruits Global partners with VietDelta, a specialist supplier of Vietnamese botanical herbs, to deliver dried guava leaves that meet international phytosanitary and food safety requirements. Each batch is carefully dried at controlled temperatures to preserve heat-sensitive phytochemicals, then sealed in food-grade packaging to maintain freshness through long-haul logistics.

Key Bioactive Compounds

Lycopene — a powerful carotenoid antioxidant associated with cardiovascular protection and anti-cancer properties, found at higher concentrations in guava leaf than in many fruit sources. Polyphenols and Flavonoids — broad-spectrum antioxidant compounds that neutralise free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. Guava leaf polyphenols include quercetin, kaempferol and apigenin glycosides. Tannins — astringent compounds with strong antimicrobial and antidiarrhoeal properties, widely studied for gastrointestinal applications. Carotenoids — a group of plant pigments contributing to antioxidant activity and associated with immune modulation and eye health.

Health Applications

Blood Sugar Management: Guava leaf extracts have demonstrated significant inhibition of alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase, supporting post-meal blood glucose regulation — making guava leaf a popular ingredient in functional teas and nutraceutical formulations targeting diabetic and pre-diabetic consumers.

Weight Management: Compounds in guava leaf inhibit the conversion of complex carbohydrates into readily absorbed sugars, supporting weight management programmes and slimming tea formulations.

Cholesterol and Cardiovascular Support: Research associates guava leaf consumption with improved lipid profiles including reductions in total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides, while supporting healthy HDL levels.

Digestive Health: Tannin content confers potent antidiarrhoeal activity. Guava leaf tea is a traditional remedy across Southeast Asia for gastrointestinal discomfort and intestinal infections.

Antimicrobial Properties: Studies have demonstrated inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli and Candida species, supporting applications in functional foods, oral care and topical skincare.
