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 Picrorhiza Extract (Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora Pennell / Rhizoma Picrorhizae), also known as 胡黄连提取物, Hu Huang Lian Extract, or胡连提取物. Derived from the dried rhizome of this alpine plant — which grows at altitudes of 3,600–4,400 meters on rocky surfaces and stone piles in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Tibet — this extract delivers a rich profile of natural bioactive compounds including picroside (胡黄连苷), saponins (皂甙), and various iridoid glycosides . It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional beverages, pharmaceutical formulations, and wellness products for its hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and digestive health properties. We offer ratios from 10:1 to 50:1, custom granulation, and private-label packaging – exactly what your formulation requires.

Background: A European nutraceutical brand was developing a natural liver health and detoxification supplement line. They wanted a clinically-recognized botanical ingredient with hepatoprotective properties to differentiate their products in the competitive wellness market.
Challenge: Their previous supplier could not provide consistent batch quality – picroside and saponin content varied significantly between lots, and documentation did not meet EU regulatory requirements for botanical extracts.
Solution: We supplied Picrorhiza Extract standardized to 10:1 with full COA documentation including HPLC/TLC assay, moisture (≤5.0%), particle size (80-100 mesh), heavy metals (≤20 ppm), and microbiology (total plate count ≤1000 CFU/g). 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 health supplement across 12 European markets. Batch consistency has been maintained at ±3% variance across 18+ production lots. Their procurement lead time reduced by 25%, and they have since added a functional beverage SKU featuring our Picrorhiza Extract.
Picrorhiza Extract (胡黄连 / Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora) and Coptis Extract (黄连 / Coptis chinensis) are different plants with similar names and similar traditional uses. Picrorhiza is derived from the rhizome of a plant in the Scrophulariaceae family and is rich in picroside and saponins, primarily used for liver health, anti-inflammatory, and digestive support. Coptis extract is derived from the rhizome of a plant in the Ranunculaceae family and is rich in berberine, primarily used for its antimicrobial and gastrointestinal benefits. Both offer health benefits, but they have distinct chemical profiles and applications.
Our facility holds ISO9001, ISO22000, HACCP, HALAL, and Kosher certifications – these are factory-level quality management systems. For each batch of Picrorhiza Extract, we provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) covering botanical identification, picroside/saponin assay (HPLC/TLC), moisture (≤5.0%), ash (≤5.0%), particle size (80-100 mesh), heavy metals (≤20 ppm), and microbiology (total plate count ≤1000 CFU/g, yeast & mold ≤50 CFU/g, E. coli and Salmonella negative). Our products are produced using advanced spray drying technology with no artificial additives, colors, or preservatives. We also provide factory inspection reports and third-party test reports upon request. 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 picroside/saponin content
• Solid beverages / drink mixes: 5%
• Liquid beverages: 5%
• Functional foods / snack foods: 3-5%
• Pharmaceutical / API applications: as per formulation requirements
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.
