Why Formulators Choose Our Extract?

1. Faster Than Overseas Imports

Our California warehouse holds 2+ tons year-round. Four distribution facilities (CA, TX, NJ, IL) deliver most goods in 3-5 days without customs delays.

2. Water-only extraction

Free of ethanol and chemicals. This matters for:

· Clean label claims

· Kosher/Halal conformity

Formulations that are sensitive

Chlorophyll, vitamin K, and minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium) are preserved without residue.

3. Real Certifications, Real Audits

We don't just list certifications—we're audited annually:

· NSF GMP(last audit: March 2024)

· FSSC22000(food safety management)

· CCOF Organic(certificate #12345)

· Kosher(OK Kosher, ID K-67890)

· Halal(IFANCA certified)

Ask for current certificates with your sample request.

4. Batch-to-Batch Consistency

Our extraction uses controlled temperature and pressure parameters. COAs from the last 12 months show:

· Color variation: ΔE <2.0

· Moisture: 3.2-4.8%

· Bulk density: 0.45-0.58 g/mL

This consistency matters when you're scaling production.

Product Specifications

Physical Properties (Technical Details)

Looks like a fine green powder with a mild, leafy smell

Size of Particles: 95% through 80 mesh

0.40-0.60 g/mL (loose) for bulk density

Dissolvibility: It dissolves partially in water and forms a suspension. It's good for encapsulation.

Stable pH range: 4.0 to 8.0 (good for most formulas)

List of nutrients (per 100g):

We use the extraction ratio for Alfalfa Extract instead of single markers to make things uniform, but a normal study shows:

180–250 mg of chlorophyll

Vitamin K: There is some of it (not regulated).

Minerals: Potassium, magnesium, and calcium (natural amounts)

Keep in mind that this is an extract of the whole plant, not just a few substances.

Before any batch ships, it passes:

1. Identity:Microscopy + organoleptic (confirmsMedicago sativa)

2. Purity:Heavy metals, pesticides, microbial panel

3. Physical:Mesh size, moisture, bulk density

4. Stability:Accelerated aging (for shelf-life confirmation)

You Receive:

· Certificate of Analysis (COA)

· Specification sheet

· Non-GMO statement

· Allergen statement

· Certification copies (upon request)

Batch records trace back to the farm. This supports your FSMA compliance and customer audits.

Storage & Handling

Keep Quality for 24 Months:

· Store below 77°F (25°C)

· Keep sealed (moisture causes caking)

· Avoid direct sunlight (degrades chlorophyll)

· Use dry scoops (no wet utensils)

Signs of Degradation:

· Color shifts from green to olive/brown

· Clumping (moisture exposure)

· Off odors

Properly stored material maintains specs through expiration date. We've tested samples at 18 months with no significant changes.

Q: How fast is "2-day shipping"?

A: We pick and pack within 2business daysof order confirmation. Transit time depends on your location:

Q: Do you test every batch, or just periodically?

A: Every production batch gets tested. COAs aren't generic—they match your specific lot number.
