Consistent quality, reliable supply, and a partner who understands your formulation needs. We are Fufeng Snotra Bio-Tech Co., Ltd. – 18 years in botanical extraction, from our own cultivation bases to our GMP-compliant manufacturing facilities. Our Natural Plant Extract portfolio includes Japanese Raisin Tree Seed Extract (Hovenia dulcis Thunb.), also known as 枳椇子提取物, 拐枣提取物, or Hovenia Seed Extract. Derived from the dried mature seeds of the Hovenia plant — a deciduous tree native to East Asia — this extract delivers a rich profile of natural bioactive compounds including dihydromyricetin (DHM), flavonoids, polysaccharides, saponins, and triterpenoids. It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional beverages, food products, and wellness formulations for its liver-protecting, hangover-relief, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. We offer ratios from 10:1 to 100:1, dihydromyricetin content from 10% to 30%, custom granulation, and private-label packaging – exactly what your formulation requires.

Background: A North American nutraceutical brand was developing a natural liver support and hangover prevention supplement line. They wanted a clinically-recognized botanical ingredient with standardized dihydromyricetin content to differentiate their product in the competitive wellness market.
Challenge: Their previous supplier could not provide consistent batch quality – DHM and flavonoid content varied significantly between lots, and documentation did not meet US FDA requirements for Dietary supplement ingredients.
Solution: We supplied Japanese Raisin Tree Seed Extract standardized to 10:1 with Dihydromyricetin 20% by HPLC, with full COA documentation including heavy metals (≤10 ppm), microbiology (total plate count ≤1000 CFU/g), and purity testing. We provided custom 100-mesh granulation for better flow in their encapsulation equipment and private-label packaging in 5 kg and 25 kg sizes.
Result: The brand successfully launched their liver support supplement across 15+ North American retail channels. Batch consistency has been maintained at ±2% variance across 20+ production lots. Their procurement lead time reduced by 25%, and they have since added a functional beverage SKU featuring our Japanese Raisin Tree Seed Extract.
The primary active compound in Japanese Raisin Tree Seed Extract is Dihydromyricetin (DHM), a flavonoid compound that has been extensively studied for its liver-protective and alcohol metabolism-enhancing properties.[reference:53][reference:54] DHM is known to accelerate alcohol breakdown by enhancing alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity, reducing liver damage, and alleviating hangover symptoms.[reference:55] Our extract is standardized to ensure consistent DHM content from 10% to 30% by HPLC.[reference:56]
Our facility holds ISO9001, ISO22000, HACCP, HALAL, and Kosher certifications – these are factory-level quality management systems.[reference:57] For each batch of Japanese Raisin Tree Seed Extract, we provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) covering botanical identification (TLC), DHM/flavonoid assay (HPLC/UV), moisture (≤5.0%), particle size (80-100 mesh), heavy metals (total ≤10 ppm, Pb≤10 ppm, As≤10 ppm), and microbiology (total plate count ≤1000 CFU/g, yeast & mold ≤100 CFU/g, E. coli and Salmonella negative).[reference:58] Our products are produced using advanced spray drying technology.[reference:59] If you need product-specific third-party certifications (organic) or additional tests (pesticide residue, aflatoxins), please contact us – we can arrange these based on your order volume and target market requirements.
Typical starting points based on industry practice and clinical research:
• Dietary supplements (capsules/tablets): formulate to deliver target DHM/flavonoid content
• Solid beverages / drink mixes: 5%
• Liquid beverages: 5%
• Functional foods / snack foods: 3-5%
• Hangover prevention / liver support products: 3%-10%
We recommend working with your R&D team to determine optimal levels for your specific formulation and target market. We provide formulation guidance and technical support upon request.
