Nettle Extract Powder is a potent combination of bioactive substances and is therefore useful in a variety of applications.
The extract contains three flavonoids with strong antioxidant effects, rosmarinic acid, luteolin and apigenin. These compounds work together to assist your formulation objectives.
Root-derived extracts are of special use to men's health supplements due to their high beta-sitosterol content (usually >0.8%). Structural proteins in cosmetic applications are synthesized from organic silica naturally occurring in leaf extracts.
Our extraction method breaks down cell walls to boost bioavailability. This means higher absorption rates than raw plant material, giving more value to your end customers.
The spray-drying method we use prevents oxidation-sensitive chemicals. This gives you better shelf stability and is a big plus for your inventory management.
We are the source, the beginning of the quality control. We have a very close connection with our own planting base, so we can trace from field to end product.”
We have our own independent laboratory for the testing, equipped with HPLC, GC, TLC, UV-Vis spectrophotometer and moisture analyzers. Each batch is meticulously tested before it is released.
Contaminant Management
ICP-MS heavy metal testing shows Lead <3.0 mg/kg, Arsenic <1.0 mg/kg, Cadmium <1.0 mg/kg, and Mercury <0.1 mg/kg. These levels meet the standards of both the EU and USDA.
