Astragalus membranaceus extract

Astragalus membranaceus extract (CAS 94166-93-5), derived from the dried root of the Huangqi plant, is a standardized botanical ingredient used across nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic manufacturing. It delivers bioactive compounds that drive its commercial value.

These compounds primarily include polysaccharides, saponins, and flavonoids, which function as antioxidants and immune-support agents. In dietary supplements and functional foods, it is formulated into capsules, tablets, and powdered drink blends.

These products typically target immune health and general wellness positioning for the end consumer. Pharmaceutical manufacturers incorporate it into herbal medicine preparations and standardized botanical drug products where consistent active content is required.

Meeting these regulatory requirements is essential for pharmaceutical-grade applications. In functional beverages and fortified food products, it serves as a natural antioxidant ingredient supporting clean-label formulation strategies for modern brands.

Personal care formulators use it in anti-aging skincare products such as serums, creams, and masks. In these applications, the antioxidant activity supports product efficacy claims and enhances the overall value of the cosmetic formulation.

The extract is supplied as a fine powder, typically standardized to polysaccharide content or astragaloside IV concentration. Food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications are available to meet different regulatory and quality requirements.

Bulk supply is standard for industrial buyers, with packaging options suited to both large-scale manufacturing and smaller formulation runs. This ensures flexibility for diverse production needs across the global chemical and botanical supply chain.
