Manufacturing base

What Is Houttuynia Cordata Extract Powder?

The product is a concentrated botanical substance obtained from the aerial portions of Houttuynia cordata Thunb., often known as Fish Mint, Heartleaf or Dokudami. Advanced water or ethanol extraction and spray drying transforms the raw herb into a stable, high potency powder.

The main bioactive constituents, namely flavonoids such as Quercitrin, Isoquercitrin and Hyperin, together with volatile oils, are well maintained in this extract. The end product is a fine, brownish-yellow powder that provides a continuous medicinal effect without the overwhelming strong odor of fresh plant material.

You end up with a standardized raw material that addresses common formulation difficulties such as ingredient stability, odor control and potency uniformity. It is also a great option for dietary supplements, functional beverages and wellness products with a focus on immune support and respiratory health.

Core Benefits & Health Applications

Supports Immune System

Your clients count on natural substances to support immune defenses. Traditionally, our extract has been employed in herbal wellness formulas to help improve immune function, especially throughout the change of seasons. The concentrated flavonoids help to regulate the immune system and boost energy.

Support for Respiratory Health

It has been extensively used in traditional herbal systems for respiratory tract relaxation. Supports healthy respiratory function and helps to naturally ease occasional respiratory irritation. This makes it a useful element in throat lozenges, syrups and respiratory health supplements.

Anti-Inflammatory Activity

The extract comprises bioactive chemicals that play a role in the regulation of inflammatory pathways. It helps the body's own defense mechanisms by preventing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha and IL-6. This combined anti-inflammatory and antibacterial character is particularly sought after in functional wellness industries.

Detox & Internal Balance Support

Heartleaf helps the body's natural cleansing process. It helps to sustain optimal metabolic function and encourages internal balance. This makes it perfect for detox drinks, cleansing blends and liver support supplements.

Antioxidant Defense

The extract is rich in phenolic acids and flavonoids that provide strong antioxidant protection. It's excellent for reducing oxidative stress, supporting cellular health and helping you become more resilient to external stressors. It possesses antioxidant capability that prolongs the shelf life of products, and generally increases longevity.

Why Clover Origins Houttuynia Cordata Extract Powder Stands Out?

Advanced Odor Control Technology

We are aware that the unique 'fishy' scent of raw Houttuynia might be a formulation challenge. This vacuum low temperature concentration technique greatly decreases the volatile chemicals such as decanoyl acetaldehyde. You get an extract powder with a mild, acceptable herbal smell that mixes well into capsules, tablets and drinks.

Long Shelf Life & Stability

The reactive bioactive molecule houttuynin is chemically unstable and undergoes rapid degradation in the raw plant material. Our extraction and drying technique stabilizes the powder and sets the standard for efficacy against heat-stable flavonoids like Quercitrin. This means that your finished items will remain potent for 24-36 months when properly stored.

High Water Solubility

Our 10:1 powder extract is rich in polysaccharides and flavonoids and is well soluble in water. This makes it easier to formulate for liquid vitamins, herbal drinks and functional beverages. For specialist cosmetic applications needing oil solubility, we may advise on ethanol or propylene glycol co-solvents.

Flexible Customization and OEM/ODM Services

Extraction ratios, standardization of active substance and packaging styles are available on request. Our R&D team provides unique compound formulations and premix creation for liquid, powder blends, gummies and capsules. All projects are under tight non-disclosure agreements.

Rigorous Quality Control & Compliance

Every batch is tested for:

Active ingredient content and purity
Heavy metals (Pb, As, Cd, Hg)
Microbiological contaminants (Total Plate Count, Yeast & Mold, E. coli, Salmonella)
Pesticide residues
Solvent residues
Ethylene Oxide (EO)
Benzo[a]pyrene

Third-party verification is provided by Eurofins, SGS, Alkemist Labs, and NSF, ensuring your supply chain meets the highest international standards.

FAQ

Q: How do you control the typical 'fishy' odor in the product?

A: We use vacuum low temperature concentration and spray drying technologies. Subtle distinctive odor is an indicator of authenticity, albeit the disagreeable volatile note (decanoyl acetaldehyde) is much diminished compared to fresh juice. It integrates nicely into formulations without taking over the sensory profile.

Q: Does the powder dissolve in water or oil?

A: Most standard ratio extracts (10:1) include a significant percentage of polysaccharides and are water soluble. Standardized high purity flavonoids in cosmetic formulations may require complete dissolution in ethanol or propylene glycol. We are happy to give application advice specific to your needs.

Q: How much for dietary supplements should I take?

A: Clinical data suggests an equivalent of 3–6g of raw herb per day. This equates to about 300mg–600mg per daily serving for a 10:1 extract powder. Always check the local regulatory guidance and safety assessments for your target market.

Q: Is Houttuynin heat sensitive and destroyed during extraction?

A: Houttuynin is chemically unstable. In commercial extracts, efficacy is generally compared to heat-stable flavonoids (Quercitrin) rather than to Houttuynin. This provides lengthy shelf stability (24–36 months) and therapeutic action that is constant from batch to batch.

Q: How do you prevent caking in the powder?

A: Houttuynia extract is naturally hygroscopic. During manufacture, we manage the moisture level to less than 5.0% and employ double layer PE bags within fiber drums with desiccants. We recommend keeping the relative humidity of manufacturing environments below 45% during handling and storage.
