Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between your 4% Polyphenols extract and a 4% Chicoric Acid extract?
A: The 4% Polyphenols is a broad-spectrum measure of total phenolic content, offering balanced antioxidant and immune support. The 4% Chicoric Acid is standardized to one key, highly active immunomodulatory compound. The choice depends on your formulation's precise mechanism and claim focus.
Q2: Why choose Echinacea purpurea over Echinacea angustifolia extract?
A: Both are effective. Echinacea purpurea (our product) has extensive clinical research supporting its use for immune health, and it provides a wider array of polyphenols. Echinacea angustifolia extract is often richer in echinacoside. We offer both and can advise on selection.
Q3: Is this extract suitable for vegan and allergen-free products?
A: Yes. Our extract is 100% plant-based, free from common allergens (gluten, soy, dairy), and can be certified Organic, Halal, and Kosher upon request.
Q4: Can you supply coneflower root extract?
A: Yes. Our standard Echinacea Purpurea Extract utilizes both aerial parts and root. We can also provide specifications standardized specifically from the root portion, often associated with traditional use. Please inquire for details.
Q5: What is the lead time for bulk orders?
A: Typically 10-15 working days after order confirmation for quantities under 500kg. Stock is often available for immediate shipment.
