Natural Echinacea Extract for Supplement Ingredient
Product Description
Echinacea Extract is a premium, plant - derived active ingredient meticulously extracted from the roots, leaves, or aerial parts of Echinacea purpurea, Echinacea angustifolia, or Echinacea pallida—herbaceous perennials native to North America, long revered in traditional herbal medicine. Through advanced extraction technologies such as supercritical CO₂ extraction or water - ethanol solvent extraction, the extract retains a rich spectrum of bioactive compounds, with echinacoside, cichoric acid, polysaccharides, alkylamides, and flavonoids as its key functional components.
Physically, it typically appears as a fine, light brown to dark brown powder (or a clear to amber liquid concentrate, depending on the formulation) with a characteristic mild, earthy aroma. It is soluble in water, ethanol, or glycerin, ensuring excellent compatibility with various product matrices. Rigorously tested for purity, heavy metals, and microbial contaminants, our Echinacea Extract meets global quality standards (such as USP, EP, or FDA regulations), making it a reliable choice for health, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications.
