Echinacea Purpurea Extract | Chicoric Acid Powder ≥4%

Our Echinacea extract (also known as Echinacea flower extract) is standardized to contain 4% chicoric acid, a potent phenolic compound primarily known for its immunomodulatory and antioxidant properties. The extract also contains alkylamides, polysaccharides, caffeic acid, and flavonoids, offering numerous beneficial properties suitable for dietary supplements, skincare products, or functional beverages.

The global echinacea extract market is expected to grow steadily, driven by the growing demand for natural immune-boosting supplements following the pandemic. Its use in dietary supplements and skincare products is increasing in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in China and Japan. We utilize low-temperature ethanol extraction technology to preserve heat-sensitive compounds like chicoric acid, ensuring greater potency than traditional methods. Our raw material, sourced from a Taiwanese strain of Echinacea, has been shown to contain 18% higher alkylamide content than North American strains. We offer flexible OEM/ODM production models, enabling customized formulations for capsules, skincare products, or functional beverages. Our products are manufactured under ISO 22000 and cGMP certifications and come with batch-specific reports to ensure purity.

Why choose our Echinacea extract (Chicoric acid ≥ 4%)?

1. Higher Bioactivity

Chicoric acid content is strictly controlled between 4% and 7% (adjustable upon request). Low-temperature ethanol extraction effectively preserves heat-sensitive compounds, resulting in a 15% increase in phenolic content compared to traditional hot water extraction.

2. High-Quality Raw Materials

Using high-quality local Taiwanese raw materials, we achieve higher chicoric acid and polysaccharide yields (tested yield of 6.2%, compared to the industry average of 4.5%). We also produce our extract from traceable organically grown plants (pesticide-free, heavy metal content below 0.5 ppm).

3. 20 Years of Precision OEM/ODM Solutions

Customized powders (spray-dried/freeze-milled) or ready-to-use capsule mixes are available. Our cGMP, ISO 22000, and FSSC 22000 certified facilities provide batch-specific Certificate of Accounts (COA) covering residual solvents, microbial content, and heavy metals.
