Product Description
Reliable Artichoke Extract Manufacturer & Bulk Supplier
Greenherb operates a GMP-certified extraction facility specializing in Artichoke Extract. We source raw leaves from certified farms in Mediterranean climate zones, where optimal growing conditions drive maximum accumulation of caffeoylquinic acids. Our low-temperature ethanol extraction protocol preserves thermally sensitive compounds while removing fibrous material, delivering a standardized botanical ingredient for global nutraceutical and functional food markets. We provide full export documentation and technical support for seamless integration into your supply chain.

Why Choose Greenherb Artichoke Extract
- High-Altitude Origin Traceability – We restrict procurement to mature leaves harvested from plants grown in mineral-rich soils, ensuring our artichoke Powder contains genuine therapeutic potency.
- Dual-Marker Standardization – Unlike suppliers who test only crude markers, we standardize both chlorogenic acid (≥5.0%) and cynarin (≥2.0%), mirroring traditional use patterns and modern pharmacological research.
- Low-Temperature Ethanol Extraction – To protect heat-sensitive polyphenols, we avoid high-heat methods. Our controlled ethanol-water process preserves the delicate phytochemical matrix required for digestive and hepatic applications.
- Third-Party Batch Verification – Every lot undergoes identity testing (TLC/HPLC) and contaminant screening (heavy metals, microbes, pesticide residues) by ISO/IEC 17025 accredited labs. You receive a full COA before shipment departs.
- Solvent Residue Compliance – Post-extraction, we run a purification cycle to ensure residual solvents are undetectable, meeting the strict ICH guidelines required for EU and North American import markets.
- Custom Ratio Flexibility – Need a specific extract ratio (e.g., 10:1 or 20:1)? We adjust the concentration parameters and carrier systems (Maltodextrin/Silica) to hit your exact R&D targets.
- Export Documentation Support – Shipments include COA, MSDS, Non-GMO affidavit, and Phytosanitary certificates. We assist with customs clearance paperwork to prevent port delays.
- Logistics Coordination – We work with specialized freight forwarders experienced in handling botanical extracts, ensuring temperature-stable delivery to your warehouse door.
- Direct Factory Pricing – Eliminate middlemen markups. We offer transparent pricing structures with volume incentives for committed annual contracts.

Product Introduction
Artichoke Extract is a traditional European medicinal ingredient derived from the dried leaves of Cynara scolymus. Unlike raw leaf powders that suffer from extreme variability in active compound density, our standardized extract provides formulators with a reliable baseline for developing consistent nutraceutical and functional food products. The extraction process isolates key caffeoylquinic acids and sesquiterpene lactones, transforming a common vegetable byproduct into a precision raw material suitable for capsules, tablets, and beverages.

Production Process
Greenherb employs a controlled extraction sequence to ensure purity and potency:
-
Leaf Authentication – Harvesting of mature leaves from certified farms, followed by macroscopic and TLC identification.
-
Washing & Slicing – Thorough cleaning and uniform slicing to optimize extraction surface area.
-
Low-Temp Ethanol Extraction – Targeted solvent extraction to isolate polar and semi-polar bioactive fractions.
-
Vacuum Concentration – Removal of solvent under reduced pressure to create a concentrated extract paste.
-
Purification – Filtration and decolorization steps to remove fibrous impurities and chlorophyll.
-
Spray Drying – Transformation into a free-flowing powder, utilizing food-grade carriers if required for stability.
-
Precision QC – Final testing for marker compliance, heavy metals, and microbiological safety.
-
Secure Packaging – Double-layer PE bags with desiccants, sealed within fiber drums.

Functional Properties & Benefits
As a botanical extract, it offers targeted physiological support:
- Hepatic Detoxification – Traditionally used to support liver bile production and fat metabolism, aiding in the breakdown of dietary lipids.
- Digestive Comfort – Exhibits choleretic properties that promote healthy gallbladder function and alleviate post-prandial fullness.
- Lipid Metabolism – Studied for its role in supporting healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range.
- Antioxidant Defense – Provides robust free radical scavenging activity through chlorogenic acid and flavonoid compounds.
- Gastrointestinal Soothing – Sesquiterpene lactones contribute to smooth muscle relaxation in the digestive tract.
