Products Description
High-Purity Melaleuca Extract Huperzine A Powder | ≥98% Huperzine A | Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Grade
Our Melaleuca Extract Huperzine A Powder is a premium bioactive ingredient derived from the leaves of Huperzia serrata (commonly referred to as "melaleuca" in functional ingredient markets), a traditional herb renowned for its naturally occurring huperzine A-an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor with well-documented support for cognitive health. Using a proprietary low-temperature ethanol-water extraction process, we achieve a minimum 98% huperzine A purity (HPLC-verified), preserving the compound's bioactivity while eliminating impurities like heavy metals, pesticides, and solvent residues. This fine, off-white to light yellow powder is soluble in ethanol and slightly soluble in water, making it ideal for targeted formulations. Fully compliant with global standards (USP, EP, ICH), our Melaleuca Extract Huperzine A Powder is trusted by pharmaceutical manufacturers, nutraceutical brands, and research institutions for its consistent potency, traceability, and safety.

Quality Control Measures
We implement a 3-stage quality control system to ensure every batch of Melaleuca Extract Huperzine A Powder meets pharmaceutical-grade standards:
1.Raw Material Inspection:
- All Huperzia serrata leaves are tested within 24 hours of harvest for huperzine A precursor content (≥0.15%), pesticide residues (GC-MS), and heavy metals (ICP-MS). Only batches with no detectable contaminants are approved for processing.
2.In-Process Monitoring:
- Extraction temperature is tracked in real-time (via automated sensors) to maintain ≤50°C, preventing huperzine A degradation.
- Purification column efficiency is tested hourly via HPLC to ensure huperzine A purity stays above 98%.
- Solvent removal is verified by GC-FID, with residues required to be below ICH Q3C limits.
3.Final Batch Certification:
- Potency Test: HPLC (C18 column) confirms huperzine A content ≥98% (single-peak purity).
- Safety Tests: ICP-MS for heavy metals (Pb/Cd/As <0.01ppm) and microbial testing (USP <61>) to ensure no pathogens.
- Stability Test: Accelerated testing (40°C/75% RH for 3 months) validates 36-month shelf life.
- Documentation: Each batch includes a fully compliant COA, traceability report, and GMP compliance certificate.
Product advantages
- Ultra-High Purity: ≥98% huperzine A (single-peak HPLC verification) - 5% higher than industry average, ensuring maximum efficacy in formulations.
- Bioactivity Preservation: Proprietary low-temperature extraction (≤50°C) retains huperzine A's structural integrity, avoiding degradation common in high-heat processes.
- Strict Safety Compliance: Meets USP, EP, and ICH standards; heavy metals and solvent residues are undetectable (below 0.01ppm), suitable for pharmaceutical use.
- Traceable Sourcing: Raw Huperzia serrata is sourced from certified wild-harvested or organic plantations in Yunnan (China), with full batch-to-farm traceability.
- Versatile Formulation: Soluble in ethanol (ideal for liquids) and compatible with solid dosage forms (capsules, tablets), supporting diverse product designs.
Product Applications
Our Melaleuca Extract Huperzine A Powder is a specialized ingredient for industries focused on cognitive health and pharmaceutical innovation, with detailed use cases:
- Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements:
The primary application for Melaleuca Extract Huperzine A Powder is in "cognitive support supplements"-formulated into capsules, tablets, or powder blends to support memory, focus, and age-related cognitive function. It is often paired with choline, vitamin B12, or ginkgo biloba to enhance synergistic effects. For example, a US-based nootropic brand used our 98% powder in their "Brain Boost Capsule," targeting students and aging adults; post-launch, 78% of users reported improved task focus in 4 weeks.
- Pharmaceutical Formulations:
Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in medications targeting mild-to-moderate cognitive impairment. European and Asian pharmaceutical companies integrate our Melaleuca Extract Huperzine A Powder into oral tablets, as its high purity reduces formulation complexity and meets regulatory requirements (e.g., EU EMA guidelines for cognitive health drugs).
- Functional Beverages & Foods:
Added to low-dose "brain health" beverages (e.g., herbal teas, fortified smoothies) and functional snacks (e.g., protein bars) for consumer segments seeking convenient cognitive support. Its mild taste and ethanol solubility allow seamless integration without altering product flavor profiles.
- Research & Development:
Trusted by academic institutions and biotech firms for pre-clinical studies on huperzine A's mechanism of action, thanks to its consistent purity and batch-to-batch reproducibility.
