Product Overview
Echinacea purpurea extract is prepared from the aerial parts of purple coneflower, one of the most recognisable botanicals in the seasonal-wellness category. This grade is standardised to 4% polyphenols, with cichoric acid among the characteristic markers, and is suited to pressed extracts, tablets and capsules. VeraVita Bio supplies the 4% powder grade in bulk for supplement manufacturers across Europe and North America.
Key Features
- Standardised to 4% polyphenols with cichoric-acid marker control
- Aerial-parts (herb) grade – the traditional pressed-juice equivalent source
- Spray-dried powder for capsules, tablets and lozenges
- Seasonal-demand ingredient – plan stock ahead of autumn/winter production
- Compatible with zinc, vitamin C and propolis formulas
- COA with marker data on request
How It Works
- Marker chemistry – the polyphenol fraction includes cichoric acid (caffeic-acid derivative), with alkylamides and polysaccharides as further characterised classes in the genus.
- Extraction basis – hydroalcoholic extraction followed by spray drying; the marker level is controlled at 4%.
- Formulation role – dosed as a botanical ingredient in seasonal formulas; extract ratios and marker levels differ between above-ground and root grades, so specify the plant part you need.
- Immune-claim language for finished products varies sharply between the EU (no authorised claims) and US structure/function rules – the brand owner must finalise wording.
Typical Applications
- Seasonal immunity capsules and tablets
- Throat lozenges and pastilles
- Children’s and adult seasonal syrups (powder basis)
- Combination formulas with zinc and vitamin C
- Herbal tea and instant-powder blends
- Standardised single-botanical capsules
