Why Choose Greenherb Astragalus Root Powder

  • Polysaccharide Preservation – We utilize a proprietary low-temperature concentration process that preserves the native polysaccharide structure, ensuring our astragalus root extract delivers consistent functional value.
  • Solvent-Free Processing – Unlike liquid extracts, our powder is produced via physical dehydration and mechanical micronization, leaving zero solvent residues and meeting clean-label standards.
  • pH-Stable Saponin Profile – Our process stabilizes the natural triterpene saponins, preventing the rapid degradation typically seen in astragalus products exposed to heat and light.
  • Microbiological Control – Low-temperature drying (<50°C) reduces water activity to inhibit microbial growth, extending shelf life without irradiation.
  • Particle Size Engineering – We offer customized mesh sizes (80 to 300 mesh) to optimize flowability for tablet pressing or instant dispersion in beverages.
  • Oxidative Stability – Nitrogen-flushed packaging prevents the oxidation of sensitive phenolic compounds during storage and transit.
  • Export Documentation Support – Shipments include COA, MSDS, Organic Certificate, and Non-GMO affidavit to facilitate customs clearance.
  • Logistics Coordination – We work with specialized freight forwarders experienced in handling root powders, ensuring moisture-proof delivery.
  • Direct Factory Pricing – Eliminate distributor markups with transparent pricing for bulk quantities and long-term supply agreements.

Product Introduction

Astragalus Root Powder is a traditional medicinal ingredient derived from the dried roots of Astragalus membranaceus. By utilizing a physical grinding process rather than chemical extraction, we retain the full spectrum of water-soluble polysaccharides, saponins, and dietary fiber. This astragalus root supplement serves as a functional food ingredient, offering a concentrated source of immunomodulatory compounds. It is designed for formulators seeking a clean-label ingredient with high phytonutrient density for food, beverage, and supplement applications.

Production Process

Greenherb employs a controlled physical processing sequence:
  1. Root Authentication​ – Harvesting of 4-year-old roots, followed by macroscopic and TLC identification to confirm species integrity.
  2. Washing & Sanitization​ – High-pressure air and water cleaning to remove soil and surface contaminants without leaching soluble nutrients.
  3. Low-Temp Dehydration​ – Belt drying at controlled temperatures (<50°C) to remove moisture while preserving heat-sensitive compounds.
  4. Cryogenic Grinding​ – Milling under liquid nitrogen atmosphere to achieve ultra-fine particles without heat damage.
  5. Sieving & Blending​ – Classification by mesh size and homogeneous blending for batch consistency.
  6. Laboratory Testing​ – QC verification of microbial load, heavy metals, and nutrient markers.
  7. Secure Packaging​ – Double-layer PE bags with desiccants, sealed within fiber drums.
