Harpagophytum procumbens extract
Description
Harpagophytum procumbens extract (CAS 84988-65-8), commonly known as Devil's Claw extract, is a standardized botanical derived from the tuberous roots of a southern African plant. It is used across nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic manufacturing as a bioactive ingredient.
The extract is valued for its antioxidant activity and suitability in anti-inflammatory positioning. In dietary supplement manufacturing, it is formulated into capsules, tablets, and softgels targeting joint and mobility support categories.
Food and functional beverage producers incorporate it into wellness-positioned products where botanical antioxidant claims are commercially relevant. Topical formulators use it in creams and gels marketed for muscle and joint comfort.
Standardized harpagoside content supports label claims in these topical applications. Pharmaceutical-grade applications include its use as an active botanical in registered herbal medicinal products across European markets.
Harpagophytum procumbens extract is supplied as a dry powder, typically standardized to harpagoside content at levels such as 2%, 5%, or 20% by HPLC. This ensures consistency across various production batches.
Food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications are available to meet FCC and Ph. Eur. compliance requirements. These standards ensure the highest level of purity for sensitive industrial applications.
Bulk supply is standard for contract manufacturers, with smaller quantities available for formulation development. This flexibility allows for both large-scale production and specialized research and development projects.
