Product Introduction
Here are some of the most important specs:
Standard lead time is 10 days, and we have 500 kg or more ready to ship.

Since 2013, Shaanxi Zhenhuacui Biotechnology has been working with more than 200 nutrition and skincare brands in 35 countries to run one of the most advanced plant extract facilities in Asia, specializing in the production of Ampelopsis Grossedentata Leaf Powder and other high-quality botanical ingredients. Our dedicated 18-person research and development team (60 percent of our workforce) makes sure that every batch meets pharmaceutical-grade standards. They do this while keeping prices low by using vertically integrated supply lines that include organic farms in Hubei Province that we contract with and the final packing.
Business benefits that keep your supply line safe:

In China's pristine Wuling Mountain area, high-altitude Ampelopsis grossedentata plantations (800–1200 m elevation) provide this standardised extract's constant bioactivity, which raw leaf powders can't match.
What's different about this ingredient:
The flavonoid primarily investigated for liver protection and metabolism, dihydromyricetin, is 98% pure in that light brownish-yellow powder. Pharmaceutical-grade crude extracts allow precise dosages and reduced material costs per serving than 10-15% crude extracts.
Thermal stability tests at 120°C for 30 minutes were successful. It can be baked, pasteurised, and compressed tablets. Small particle size (80–120 mesh) reduces sedimentation in liquors and water-based beverages for quick breakdown.
Formulation uses that have been approved by our customers:
Hepatoprotective ingredients with clean labels became 34% more popular among consumers in 2023 compared to the previous year (Innova Market Insights). At the point where traditional botanical knowledge meets current health trends, your goods will have this naturally occurring compound.
High Purity & Pharmaceutical-Grade Standardization
Triple HPLC tests are done on each batch (in-process, pre-release, and stability) to make sure that it has 98% ±2% Dihydromyricetin content. This accuracy gets rid of the batch-to-batch variation that is common in crude extracts. This protects your product claims and lowers the number of rejections by quality control.
Clinically Relevant Antioxidant Capacity
Independent lab tests show that DPPH radical scavenging power is higher than 92% at a dose of 50μg/mL. This is about the same as synthetic antioxidants like BHT, but it has a clean label appeal. This strength backs up claims of effectiveness in antioxidant-focused formulas.
Validated Thermal Stability
Studies that sped up the degradation process (120°C/30min) show less than 3% active loss, compared to 15-20% degradation in extracts that weren't optimised. You can use this stable data to back up claims about how long your product will last.
Regulatory-Ready Clean Label Profile
Heavy metals below EU limits (Pb <0.5ppm, As <0.3ppm), no pesticide residues found (450+ substances studied), and proof that the food is not genetically modified. This item comes with all the paperwork needed for FDA NDI reports and EU Novel Food applications.
Exceptional Solubility Across pH Ranges
In 5 minutes at room temperature, it dissolves fully in water (pH 4–8) and 40% ethanol liquids. Particle engineering stops sticking during high-speed mixing, which cuts down on the time it takes to process.
Multi-Pathway Health Benefits Backed by Research
Studies that were studied by experts show that it protects the liver (lowers ALT and AST levels), reduces inflammation (blocks the NF-κB pathway), and helps the body's glucose metabolism (makes insulin work better in animal models). These processes help with a number of different product positioning tactics.

Our location has the widest range of certifications in the business, which makes sure that your goods meet all of the world's regulatory standards:
Additional compliance documentation available:

1. Raw Material Traceability
Contract organic farms in Hubei Province that are GAP-certified make it possible to track Ampelopsis Grossedentata Leaf Powder all the way from the field to the plant. The highest amount of Dihydromyricetin is found in fresh leaves harvested in the spring (March–April) used to produce this powder.
2. Advanced Extraction Technology
3. Supercritical CO₂ Polishing (Optional)
For very clean uses (cosmetic grade), supercritical fluid extraction gets rid of any remaining waxes and colours, leaving behind a nearly white powder that is easier to dissolve.
4. Six-Stage Quality Control
5. Cleanroom Packaging
To keep things clean after production, packaging is done in ISO Class 8 cleanrooms. By preventing decay, nitrogen washing increases the shelf life of food.
Process paperwork includes master batch records, validation procedures, and SOP guides that can be used for checks by regulators.

7. Regulatory Expertise Across Markets
Our legal team helps with regulations for the following:

Q: What distinguishes 10% crude powder from 98% standardised extract?
A: To attain the same active dosage as our 98% extract, crude powder (5-15% Dihydromyricetin) needs 6-8 times more material. This increases capsule/tablet count, formulation costs, and occasional batch potency. Our pharmaceutical-grade standardisation ensures precise dosage and lower serving sizes—essential for consumer compliance.
Q: Can this ingredient withstand high-temperature food processing?
A: Yes. Accelerated stability testing shows <3% deterioration at 120°C for 30 minutes, indicating compatibility with:
