Hawthorn extract is a widely used standardized botanical ingredient derived from the dried ripe fruits of Crataegus monogyna or Crataegus pinnatifida. Rich in flavonoids and oligomeric proanthocyanidins, this plant raw material is popular in global dietary supplement formulas focused on cardiovascular wellness and digestive support.

Our hawthorn extract is manufactured using low-temperature ethanol-water dual extraction followed by purification and spray drying. The production process removes fruit pulp residues, insoluble fiber and irrelevant impurities while retaining key active flavonoid compounds. Many bulk hawthorn extracts available on the market show inconsistent active levels between batches due to raw material differences and simplified processing. Our standardized hawthorn powder features uniform color, fine texture and good flowability, making it suitable for consistent large-scale formulation. All hawthorn fruits are visually screened before processing to discard immature, moldy or deteriorated materials. No artificial colors, synthetic preservatives or unnecessary fillers are added during production.

Our Supplier Advantages

We maintain stable hawthorn fruit sourcing and a complete extraction, purification and drying production line. Strict internal quality control ensures reliable batch consistency for export bulk orders.

• Rigorous raw material screening: Mature hawthorn fruits are selected; regular testing covers heavy metals, pesticide residues and microbial limits.

• Controlled low-temperature processing: Protects heat-sensitive flavonoids and prevents active ingredient degradation.

• Batch-by-batch full inspection: Each shipment is tested for total flavone content, moisture, microorganisms and heavy metals before delivery.

• Custom service options: Support adjustment of flavone content, powder particle size and private label packaging.

• Flexible ordering policy: 1kg trial orders are acceptable for sample evaluation. Full export documents including COA and MSDS can be provided for customs clearance.

Packaging & Storage Guidelines

• Standard Export Packaging: 1kg aluminum foil bag, 25kg food-grade fiber drum with inner plastic lining bag

• Storage Conditions: Keep in cool, dry, dark and ventilated warehouse. Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature and humid air.

• Important Reminder: Seal tightly immediately after opening. Hawthorn flavones are sensitive to heat and moisture; improper storage may reduce product activity.

FAQ

Q1: What is the main active ingredient used to test hawthorn extract?
A1: Total flavones are the standard active marker for commercial hawthorn extract and the primary testing indicator recognized globally. We can provide materials meeting your target flavone specification.

Q2: What is the difference between hawthorn fruit powder and concentrated hawthorn extract?
A2: Plain hawthorn fruit powder contains large amounts of inactive fiber with low flavone content. Concentrated extract enriches active flavonoids, delivers stable test values and works better for standardized supplement production.

Q3: What is your minimum order quantity?
A3: MOQ starts at 1kg for sample testing. More competitive pricing is offered for bulk orders.
