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 Milk Thistle Extract (Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn.), also known as Water飞蓟提取物, Silymarin Extract, 奶蓟草提取物, or乳蓟提取物[reference:28][reference:29][reference:30]. Derived from the dried mature fruit (achene) of the milk thistle plant — a member of the Asteraceae family cultivated across China and Europe[reference:31][reference:32] — this extract delivers a rich profile of natural bioactive compounds including silymarin, silybin (水飞蓟宾), isosilybin, silydianin, and silychristin[reference:33]. It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional beverages, pharmaceutical formulations, and food products for its liver-protecting, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective properties[reference:34][reference:35]. We offer ratios from 10:1 to 50:1, silymarin content from 40% to 98%, custom granulation, and private-label packaging – exactly what your formulation requires[reference:36][reference:37].

Background: A North American nutraceutical brand was developing a natural liver health and detoxification supplement line. They wanted a clinically-recognized botanical ingredient with high silymarin content to differentiate their products in the competitive wellness market.
Challenge: Their previous supplier could not provide consistent batch quality – silymarin and silybin content varied significantly between lots, and documentation did not meet US FDA requirements for Dietary supplement ingredients.
Solution: We supplied Milk Thistle Extract standardized to Silymarin 80% with Silybin 30% by HPLC, with full COA documentation including heavy metals, microbiology (total plate count ＜1000 CFU/g), and pesticide residue testing (＜2 ppm). We provided custom 80-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 health 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 Milk Thistle Extract.
Milk Thistle Extract is the crude extract derived from the fruit of Silybum marianum, containing a complex mixture of bioactive compounds[reference:104][reference:105]. Silymarin is the standardized active flavonolignan complex extracted from milk thistle, consisting primarily of silybin (the most active component), isosilybin, silydianin, and silychristin[reference:106][reference:107]. In commercial terminology, the terms are often used interchangeably, but silymarin specifically refers to the standardized active fraction with guaranteed content (e.g., 80% Silymarin)[reference:108].
Our facility holds ISO9001, ISO22000, HACCP, HALAL, and Kosher certifications – these are factory-level quality management systems. For each batch of Milk Thistle Extract, we provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) covering botanical identification, silymarin/silybin assay (HPLC/UV), moisture (≤5.0%), ash (＜5.0%), particle size (80-120 mesh), pesticide residues (＜2 ppm), and microbiology (total plate count ＜1000 CFU/g, yeast & mold ＜100 CFU/g, E. coli and Salmonella negative)[reference:109]. Our products are produced using advanced spray drying technology with no artificial additives, colors, or preservatives[reference:110]. We also provide factory inspection reports and third-party test reports upon request[reference:111]. 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 150-300 mg of silymarin per serving
• Liquid beverages: 5%
• Solid beverages / drink mixes: 5%
• Functional foods / snack foods: 3-5%
• Pharmaceutical / API applications: as per formulation requirements[reference:112]
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.
