Astragalus Extract

This Astragalus Extract is derived from the root of Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge., a leguminous plant native to northern China. The product is a brown-yellow or gray-white powder with active ingredients including astragaloside IV and astragalus polysaccharide. The extract is available in specifications ranging from 0.3% to 98% astragaloside A and 10% to 70% astragalus polysaccharide, as confirmed by HPLC and UV detection methods. The powder is packaged in 25kg cardboard drums, with a shelf life of two years when stored in cool, dry conditions away from light and high temperatures.

The plant itself is a perennial herb, 50-80 cm tall, with a deep, rod-shaped root that is cylindrical and typically 20-70 cm long and 1-3 cm thick. The root’s surface is gray-yellow or light brown with longitudinal wrinkles, and it has a weak, specific odor with a slightly sweet, bean-like taste. Astragalus polysaccharide in the extract is known for reducing blood lipids, including cholesterol and triglycerides, while increasing high-density lipoprotein. Astragaloside IV supports blood sugar regulation and antioxidant activity, making the extract valuable for cardiovascular and metabolic health applications.

This extract is primarily used by manufacturers of dietary supplements, functional foods, and herbal medicines targeting immune support, energy enhancement, and anti-fatigue benefits. Buyers typically source it in bulk for formulation into capsules, powders, or liquid preparations. The product’s quality standards include maximum limits for drying loss (5%), ash (5%), heavy metals (10ppm), lead (2ppm), arsenic (1ppm), and microbial counts (1,000 CFU/g for total bacteria, 100 CFU/g for yeasts and moulds). Confirm packaging options, as the supplier can adapt to customer demands.
