Properties and Potential Applications of Millet Extract
Millet is a cereal with an exceptionally beneficial nutritional profile, rich in minerals (including iron, magnesium, phosphorus) and antioxidants, as well as easily digestible proteins. The extract from its seeds is valued primarily for its body strengthening properties and support for the digestive and nervous systems. In traditional applications, millet was considered a raw material supporting the condition of skin, hair, and nails, and its extracts are increasingly found in dietary supplements aimed at natural strengthening and metabolism improvement.
Millet seed extract is mainly used in the nutraceutical and supplement industries – as an ingredient in capsules, tablets, or powders that support the body during micronutrient deficiencies or general weakness. Due to its natural composition and gentle action, the product can also be used in natural cosmetics – especially in hair and scalp care. Thanks to its microbiological purity and mild sensory profile (characteristic taste and smell), the extract is well tolerated and can also be used in functional mixtures, dietary foods and food preparations.
