Product Description
Reliable Saw Palmetto Extract Manufacturer & Bulk Supplier
Greenherb operates a controlled extraction facility specializing in Saw Palmetto Extract. We source ripe berries of Serenoa repensfrom contracted growing regions, using low-temperature ethanol/hexane-free CO₂ extraction to concentrate the naturally occurring fatty acid complex (lauric, oleic, myristic, and palmitic acids). Full export documentation and third-party testing are provided with every batch.
Why Choose Greenherb Saw Palmetto Extract
- Standardized Fatty Acid Profile – We calibrate total fatty acids per batch, with default saw palmetto extract specification at ≥ 85% (USP/EP reference method) for saw palmetto extract supplement lines requiring verified lipophilic marker density.
- Berry-Only Sourcing – Ripe Serenoa repensfruits only, no stem/leaf admixture, verified by macroscopic and TLC identity checks.
- Lipophilic Extraction – Ethanol or CO₂-based process preserves the native fatty acid ester profile better than high-heat pressed oils.
- Solvent Residue Compliance – Post-processing solvent checks meet ICH Q3C for global supplement imports.
- Heavy Metal & Pesticide Screening – Multi-point ICP-MS and GC-MS testing per EU/US food-grade standards.
- Mesh Customization – Default 80 mesh for extract powder; saw palmetto powder (whole-berry milled) also available on request for blended SKUs.
- Direct Factory Pricing – Transparent quotes for trial batches to full container loads, including bulk saw palmetto powder inquiries.

Product Introduction
Saw Palmetto Extract is a lipophilic botanical ingredient derived from the ripe berries of Serenoa repens. Unlike physically ground palm powder (which covers unrelated palm species and does not concentrate fatty acids), this extract uses controlled solvent or CO₂ extraction to enrich the native fatty acid and phytosterol complex. Two form factors are available: concentrated extract (≥85% total fatty acids) and whole-berry saw palmetto powder for blended formulations.
Production Process
Greenherb follows a controlled extraction workflow:
-
Berry Sourcing – Ripe Serenoa repensfruits harvested, cleaned, and sorted to remove unripe or damaged berries.
-
Crushing – Light mechanical break to optimize extraction surface without generating heat.
-
Lipophilic Extraction – Ethanol or CO₂-based process to recover fatty acids and companion lipophilic compounds.
-
Concentration – Low-temp vacuum recovery to produce extract paste/base.
-
Carrier Blending – Mixed with food-grade carriers (silica, maltodextrin) when powder form is specified.
-
QC Release – Test total fatty acids and individual FA profile via GC, heavy metals, pesticides, microbiology per batch.
-
Packaging – Double PE inner + desiccant, nitrogen-flush sealed in fiber drums; paste grades packed in lined pails.
Functional Properties & Benefits
As a lipophilic botanical extract:
- Fatty Acid Anchored – Marker locked on total fatty acids via GC, not arbitrary plant solids.
- Grade Flexibility – ≥85% for standard supplement lines, ≥95% for premium SKUs referencing saw palmetto extract 160 mg / 320 mg dosage positioning.
- Whole-Berry Option – Milled berry powder available for brands wanting a less-processed palm-alternative narrative (distinct from generic palm extract).
- Oxidation Control – Low moisture, nitrogen flush, and optional antioxidant carrier help protect lipophilic fraction during storage.
Applications
Saw Palmetto Extract is engineered for formulation use:
- Men's Health SKUs – Capsule/tablet fill, commonly positioned at 160 mg or 320 mg labeled dosage in finished supplements.
- Nutraceutical Blends – Combined with beta-sitosterol, lycopene, or pumpkin seed extract in men's wellness stacks.
- Private Label – Bulk raw material for contract manufacturers building Serenoa repens-themed SKUs.
- Whole-Berry Blends – Saw palmetto powder bulk option for brands preferring minimal-processing positioning.
