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 Alfalfa Extract (Medicago sativa L.), also known as Alfalfa Leaf Extract, 紫苜蓿提取物, or紫花苜蓿提取物. Derived from the dried whole herb of this nutrient-rich legume — one of the oldest cultivated plants in human history — this extract delivers a rich profile of natural bioactive compounds including saponins (5%-50%), flavonoids, isoflavones, coumarins, proteins (18.9% crude protein), vitamins (A, B1, B6, C, E, K), and essential minerals (calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, manganese). It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional beverages, food products, and animal feed for its immune-modulating, antioxidant, cholesterol-supporting, and nutritional properties. We offer ratios from 10:1 to 50:1, saponin content from 5% to 50%, custom granulation, and private-label packaging – exactly what your formulation requires.

Background: A North American nutraceutical brand was developing a natural cholesterol support and immune health supplement line. They wanted a nutrient-dense botanical ingredient with standardized saponin content to differentiate their product in the competitive wellness market.
Challenge: Their previous supplier could not provide consistent batch quality – saponin and flavonoid content varied significantly between lots, and the powder had poor solubility in their beverage applications.
Solution: We supplied Alfalfa Extract standardized to 10:1 with Saponins 20% by UV/HPLC, with full COA documentation including heavy metals, microbiology, and purity testing. We provided custom 100-mesh granulation for better dispersion in their mixing equipment and private-label packaging in 5 kg and 25 kg sizes.
Result: The brand successfully launched their cholesterol 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 Alfalfa Extract.
Alfalfa Extract contains a rich profile of bioactive compounds including saponins (up to 50%), flavonoids, isoflavones, coumarins, and proteins. The mixed dry herb contains approximately 18.9% crude protein, 3.37% crude fat, 29.97% nitrogen-free extract, 26.80% crude fiber, and 7.03% ash. It is also rich in vitamins A, B1, B6, C, E, K and minerals including calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, and manganese.
Our facility holds ISO9001, ISO22000, HACCP, HALAL, and Kosher certifications – these are factory-level quality management systems. For each batch of Alfalfa Extract, we provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) covering botanical identification, saponin/flavonoid assay (UV/HPLC), moisture (≤5.0%), particle size (80-100 mesh), heavy metals, and microbiology. Our products are produced using advanced spray drying technology with no artificial additives, colors, or preservatives. If you need product-specific third-party certifications (organic) or additional tests, please contact us – we can arrange these based on your order volume and target market requirements.
Typical starting points based on industry practice:
• Dietary supplements (capsules/tablets): formulate to deliver target saponin/flavonoid content
• Solid beverages / drink mixes: 5%
• Liquid beverages: 5%
• Functional foods / snack foods: 3-5%
• Animal feed additives: 0.5%-2% of feed formulation
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.
