Ivy Leaf Extract is a standardized botanical extract obtained from the dried leaves of Hedera helix L. (English ivy), a perennial evergreen climbing plant in the Araliaceae family. Manufactured via ethanol-water extraction, membrane purification and spray drying, it is standardized to 3%-20% Hederacoside C (the key bioactive triterpene saponin), plus other saponins (α-hederin, hederagenin), flavonoids, and polyphenols. The powder is yellowish-brown to brown, fine and free-flowing, with a mild characteristic herbal odor. Non-GMO, gluten-free, no additives, it is widely used in respiratory health, immune support, anti-inflammatory care, and skincare worldwide.
