Our yearly manufacturing capacity of 3,000 tonnes offers steady bulk supply for dietary supplement producers, functional food developers and cosmetic formulators globally. Each batch is subject to stringent quality control, including heavy metal analysis (Pb <0.5 ppm), microbiological analysis (TPC ≤250 CFU/g) and moisture content analysis (≤5.0%). Factory direct price and 98% on-time delivery help you meet your product development timelines.

Technical Specifications & Quality Standards

Our standardised extract ensures uniform bioactive content for accurate formulation:

The light yellow powder maintains stability across formulation pH ranges. Strict compliance with FDA, ISO, and Kosher certifications ensures regulatory acceptance in North American and European markets.

Core Functional Benefits for Product Development

This product tackles many of today's health concerns in supplement formulations:

Immune System Enhancement: Polysaccharides and Astragaloside IV activate macrophages and modulate cytokine secretion. This makes it perfect for seasonal wellness shots and everyday immune boosters.

Cardiovascular Protection: Bioactive compounds improve endothelial function and reduce oxidative stress on vascular walls. It is used by formulators in heart health tablets for the ageing population.

Physical Vitality Recovery: The extract lowers the build-up of lactate and supports mitochondrial energy generation. Sports nutrition companies employ it in post-workout recovery powders and endurance solutions.

Hepatoprotective Effect: Antioxidant activity reduces the rise of liver enzymes induced by metabolic stress. It is used in detox blends and liver support supplements for sub-health populations.

Tissue Repair Acceleration: Clinical studies show improved wound healing through collagen synthesis stimulation. These qualities are used in topical preparations and post-surgical healing supplements.

Advanced Extraction Technology & Production Capabilities

We use low temperature water-alcohol coextraction and macroporous resin purification. The two-step technique is heat-sensitive for Astragaloside IV and removes contaminants.

There are six multipurpose production lines that can process different batches of raw materials simultaneously. Real time monitoring systems are utilised to monitor extraction temperature, solvent ratios, and concentration stages to assure batch to batch uniformity.

The 60,000㎡ facility has separate rooms for raw material processing, extraction, concentration, spray drying and aseptic packing. Powder manufacturing in a cleanroom environment prevents cross contamination.

Safety stock for more than 30 days is to cover urgent orders and seasonal demand changes. Production and testing for special specifications takes 15-20 days. Spot inventory ships in 3-7 working days after deposit confirmation.

Versatile Application Scenarios Across Industries

Dietary Supplement Sector: Astragalus Root Extract hard capsules, softgels and tablets for immune defence, energy metabolism and healthy ageing markets. Compatibility with excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium stearate helps simplify manufacture.

Functional Food & Beverage: Water soluble polysaccharide fractions are added to protein powders, health bars and herbal teas. The mild flavour profile does not overshadow the taste of the product, thereby retaining consumer approval.

Cosmetic Applications: Extracts of high purity are used to anti-aging serums and UV protection lotions. Studies on dermal fibroblasts suggest reduced oxidative damage and enhanced skin barrier function.

Pet Nutrition Products: Formulators use the extract in senior pet supplements for joint support and immunological maintenance. Safety characteristics of companion animal products validated by veterinary research.

Quality Assurance & Global Compliance Management

Every batch of production is subjected to an 18-point quality inspection before to release. In our own laboratory we have LC-MS, GC-MS and ICP-MS instruments for full analysis.

Our internal results are confirmed by third party testing from SGS and Eurofins. All shipments are provided with COA, TDS and MSDS documents for custom clearance and quality verification.

Full traceability systems ensure that final products can be traced back to the source farm. Integrated with blockchain, supply chain management can provide clear batch histories on demand.

GMP-certified facilities are in line with worldwide pharmaceutical standards. ISO and FDA inspectors conduct routine audits to verify ongoing compliance with changing regulations.

Strategic Supply Chain & Flexible Delivery Options

We build long-term agreements with certified organic farms, ensuring the quality of the raw material and supply continuity. Multi-sourcing solutions to address climate variability in agriculture.

Global logistics networks provide multiple shipment terms: EXW for local buyers, FOB for regular importers and DDP for hassle-free door delivery. Sea freight is going to be cheaper for bulk orders, and air express will be used for urgent sample orders.

Minimum order quantities start at 25 kg, making trial production accessible for emerging brands. For orders beyond 500 kg, you can benefit from volume reductions that make scaling cost-effective.

Payment flexibility includes 100% T/T for regular clients, Alibaba Trade Assurance for new partnerships, and Western Union for smaller transactions.

Storage Guidelines & Shelf Life Management

The product requires careful storage so as to retain the bioactivity. Keep in a cool place below 25°C, away from direct sunshine and moisture sources.

The powder is hygroscopic and should be packed in double-layer food-grade polyethylene bags within fibre drums. Reseal immediately after opening and use within 90 days for maximum efficacy.

%The relative humidity in the warehouse must not exceed 60%. #2 Regular rotation Regular rotation according to FIFO principle ensures you don't end up with expired goods.

With a shelf life of 24 months it can be used in production planning and inventory management for a long time, while being properly stored.

FAQ

Q: What differentiates ratio extracts from standardized extracts?

A: 10:1 ratio is a concentration level, but doesn't ensure bioactive content. Our standardised extracts provide precise percentages of Astragaloside IV content, as determined by HPLC, for predictable formulation results and consistent product potency.

Q: How can you avoid problems due to moisture?

A: Grades rich in polysaccharides attract moisture. We utilise hermetically sealed double-PE bag systems and recommend storage in climate controlled facilities with humidity monitoring to avoid caking and degradation.

Q: Can this ingredient work in transparent liquid supplements?

A: Polysaccharide extracts may give a faint colour to clear beverages. For clear applications we recommend decolorised versions or lesser concentrations. The high grades of Astragaloside IV are more suitable for encapsulated formats due to its poor water solubility.

Q: How is raw material adulteration tested for?

A: Our HPLC fingerprinting profiles are authentic Astragalus. Some providers "spike" their products with dextrin or starch to increase polysaccharide counts. Enzymatic hydrolysis tests and chromatogram analysis confirm purity.

Q: What are the differences in regulation between US and EU markets?

A: The extract is considered as a dietary ingredient as defined by US DSHEA standards. In the EU, typical aqueous extracts are considered to fall within the Novel Food exemption, however highly pure isolates could require further authorisation depending on extraction methods.
