Standardized Hawthorn Extract — Bulk Supply for Food-Supplement Manufacturers
Source standardized hawthorn extract DER 4:1 or 5:1 with 1.8-2.5% flavonoids, hyperoside-quantified. Romanian and EU suppliers, CoA per lot, quotes via TANDOR.
Formulators using hawthorn need a consistent, standardised input. Crataegus monogyna and Crataegus laevigata leaf-and-flower or berry extracts dosed in finished nutraceuticals are typically supplied as DER 4:1 or 5:1, standardised to 1.8-2.5% total flavonoids expressed as hyperoside, with vitexin and rutin reported on the spec sheet.
TANDOR looks for hawthorn raw material and contract-extracted concentrates from Romanian botanical collectors who work with the European herbal trade. Wild-harvested berry and leaf-flower lots are dried under controlled conditions to protect the flavonoid fraction, then routed either as cut-and-sifted herb for in-house extraction or as a finished hydroalcoholic extract powder on a maltodextrin or acacia gum carrier. Suppliers are asked for HPLC quantification of the marker compounds, residual solvent results within ICH Q3C limits where applicable, microbiological screening, heavy-metals data referenced to EU 2023/915, and pesticide-residue analysis. Organic material is available only where a supplier holds the certificate; ask for it in your request.
Packaging is 20 or 25 kg fibre drums with food-grade liners; bulk herb lots ship in 15-20 kg multi-wall paper sacks. Lead time is stated by the supplier on each offer and is longer for organic-certified or higher-flavonoid specifications. Suppliers quote EXW, FCA or DDP; we collect the documentation your QA team expects — TDS, CoA, allergen statement, GMO-free declaration, country-of-origin certificate — from the supplier and pass it on with the offer. Send us your flavonoid target, DER and packaging preference and we come back with supplier offers by email.
