Key Benefits & Applications

One of the most adaptable botanical ingredients available today is nettle extract. It adds quantifiable value to personal care and nutrition formulations.

When it comes to dietary supplements:

The root extract is a popular choice for supporting prostate health and managing sex hormone-binding globulin because it contains a lot of lignans, phytosterols, and beta-sitosterol. These compounds work well at higher levels to stop the activity of 5-alpha-reductase.

When it comes to skincare and cosmetics:

Organic silica from leaf extracts helps the body make collagen and keeps the skin strong. This ingredient is worth considering if you're making anti-aging or hair care products.

Applications for functional food and beverages:

Functional drinks, softgels, and capsule dosage forms can benefit from the spray-dried format's controlled bulk density and partial water solubility. Maltodextrin-carried forms guaranty clean-label compliance and flowability.

Why Choose Linnas Nettle Root and Leaf Extract?

You require a production partner who consistently produces outcomes, batch after batch, rather than just a supplier.

managed material that is active. Prior to distribution, each batch is standardized and analyzed using UV-VIS or HPLC to verify marker chemical levels.

stable physical characteristics. In order to avoid caking and microbiological growth during storage, the moisture content is kept below 5.0%. The extract is durable for a variety of formulation conditions since it stays stable at pH values between 4.5 and 7.0.

sophisticated extraction technology. Clean-label status is maintained while phytosterol output is maximized using ethanol-water extraction. Heat-sensitive flavonoids and oxidation-sensitive chemicals are protected by spray-drying methods.

Regulatory-ready compliance. The Nettle Extract Powder meets USP/EP pharmacopeial requirements, including non-GMO status, allergen-free processing, and Halal/Kosher certification — ideal for global market entry.

Strict Quality Control at Every Stage

At Linnas, quality is not an afterthought. Before it is sent to you, each batch of our stinging nettle extract undergoes extensive multi-step testing.

Assay testing and identification:

In order to prevent adulteration, TLC is employed for required botanical identification. Important marker chemicals including beta-sitosterol (>0.8%) and scopoletin (>0.8%) are quantified by HPLC.

Testing for harmful substances:

ICP-MS is used to check for heavy metals, including lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury. The limits are: lead less than 3.0 mg/kg, arsenic less than 1.0 mg/kg, cadmium less than 1.0 mg/kg, and mercury less than 0.1 mg/kg.More than 500 different pesticides are checked using GC-MS and LC-MS-MS.

Controlling germs:

The total number of bacteria on the product is kept under 10,000 CFU/g. The product is also tested for harmful germs like Staphylococcus aureus, E.coli, and Salmonella.

Testing of physical performance:

In automated hopper systems, laser diffraction guaranties uniform particle size for flowability. Using the Carr Index, tapped and bulk density testing verifies compressibility appropriateness.

A: Root extract is mainly used for BPH and hormonal support because it contains phytosterols and lignans. Leaf extract has more silica and flavonoids, which makes it better for anti-inflammatory, allergy relief, and cosmetic uses.

Q: Can I get a sample before buying a bigger amount?

A: Yes. We provide a 20g sample for testing.Usually, it takes about three days to arrive after payment is confirmed.

Q: What certifications does this product have?

A: This product meets the regulatory standards in Europe, North America, and the Middle East. It is certified according to ISO, HACCP, Halal, and Kosher standards.

Q: Can the concentration of active ingredients or the extraction ratio be changed?

A: Yes. We can adjust the standardization levels based on your product needs and offer extraction ratios between 10:1 and 50:1.

Q: How should the extract be stored?

A: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Since the powder is hygroscopic, it's important to keep it sealed to prevent moisture from getting in and keeping the product in good condition.
