What is Astragalus Extract?

The product is a standardized botanical ingredient extracted from dried roots of Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bunge, a cornerstone herb in traditional Asian wellness systems.

The extract is chemically characterized by the presence of bioactive substances, triterpene saponins (mostly Astragaloside IV), polysaccharides and flavonoids. These are the ingredients that give it the immunomodulatory and adaptogenic capabilities.

Our standardized Astragalus Root Extract, unlike simple ratio extracts, ensures a consistent active content shown by HPLC and UV testing. This guarantees consistent efficacy for batch manufacture of dietary supplements, functional foods and wellness formulations.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between ratio extracts and standardized products?

A: A ratio extract (e.g. 10:1) means concentrated, but doesn't guarantee any particular active content. Our standardized product has a defined percentage of Polysaccharides and Astragaloside IV which is determined by HPLC/UV testing. That means that each batch of manufacture has the same efficacy.

Q: Is Astragalus Root Extract sensitive to moisture?

A: Yes, especially high-polysaccharide grades. We pack in double layered PE bags in fibre drums and recommend you store below 60% humidity to avoid caking. Proper handling keeps the flowability going throughout your production process.

Q: Could this extract be used in clear liquid formulations?

A: Polysaccharide rich extracts are water soluble, but may give a brownish hue. For transparent applications we offer decoloured versions or lesser concentrations. High-Astragaloside IV extracts have a low solubility in water and are best used in capsules or tablets.

Q: How do you detect adulteration?

A: We use HPLC fingerprinting to identify authentic Astragalus profiles. Some suppliers spike extracts with exogenous starch or dextrin to falsify polysaccharide levels. Our enzymatic testing and chromatogram verification prevent this fraud, protecting your brand integrity.

Q: What's the regulatory status in different markets?

A: In the USA, the product qualifies as a dietary ingredient under DSHEA. Traditional aqueous extracts are widely accepted in the EU. Highly purified isolates may require Novel Food evaluation depending on extraction methods. We provide documentation supporting your specific market requirements.

Q: What technical support do you provide?

A: Beyond supplying quality ingredients, we offer formulation consultation, stability testing guidance, and analytical method transfer. Our technical team has decades of experience helping brands optimize Huang Qi Extract performance in finished products.
