Horse Chestnut Extract 20% Aescin UV

Horse Chestnut Extract 20% Aescin UV | Premium Botanical Ingredient 

Earth Made Nutritions Inc. supplies pharmaceutical-grade Horse Chestnut Extract 20% Aescin UV (Aesculus hippocastanum) standardized to 20% Aescin by UV spectrophotometry.

Our California plant manufactures this botanical ingredient to worldwide quality standards for nutritional supplements and cosmetics with NSF GMP and FSSC22000 accreditation.

Key Product Features:

· 20% Aescin content verified by UV at 268-270nm

· 95% particle size through 80 mesh for optimal tableting

· Water-ethanol extraction preserving natural compound profile

· In-stock inventory with 2-day fulfillment

· Full CoA and regulatory documentation included

Testing Methods

· Aescin Content: UV spectrophotometry (268-270nm)

· Identity: Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC)

· Heavy Metals: ICP-MS

· Microbiology: USP standards

Note on Testing Methods: This product is tested by UV spectrophotometry, which measures total saponin content. UV testing typically yields higher percentages than HPLC testing of isolated Aescin isomers. A 20% UV extract generally corresponds to 8-12% by HPLC. Specify your testing method requirement when ordering.

Applications & Formulation Guidelines

Dietary Supplements

Typical Dosage Forms: Capsules, tablets, softgels

Common Formulations:

· Standalone vascular support products

· Combination with Vitamin C, Diosmin, or Butcher's Broom

· Sports recovery blends

Formulation Notes: The extract compresses well for direct tableting. Particle size distribution allows uniform blending in encapsulation. Compatible with standard excipients including microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide.

Cosmetic Applications

Leg gels, anti-puffiness serums, eye creams, body care

Recommended usage: 0.5-3% final product

First distribute in propylene glycol or glycerin before adding to emulsion.

Stability: pH 5.0-7.0; avoid alkaline formulations.

Technical tip: Micronise or request our water-soluble standard for transparent or translucent goods.

Handling Considerations

Horse Chestnut Extract 20% Aescin UV is hygroscopic due to its saponin content. Minimize air exposure during processing. In high-humidity environments, use desiccant during manufacturing or opt for silica-coated variations.

FAQ

Q; What's the difference between Aescin UV and HPLC testing?

A: Total saponin light absorbance is measured at 268-270nm by UV spectrophotometry. This approach uses many chemicals and is less specific.

HPLC detects and quantifies Aescin isomers Ia, Ib, IIa, IIb. Most HPLC tests for 20% UV extracts are 8–12%.

UV standard is cost-effective for applications with appropriate total saponin content. Fits most cosmetic and dietary supplement formulations.

Choose HPLC specification for research, markets with unique HPLC requirements, or accurate Aescin isomer content.

Q: Is this OK for clear beverages?

A: This standard is insoluble and will turbidify clear liquids. For transparent apps, consider:

Water-soluble Horse Chestnut Extract

Nano-encapsulated versions

Formats for liquid extract

Solid dose forms, opaque liquids, suspension gels, and creams work well with this powder.

Q: What about Aesculin content?

A: Horse chestnut naturally contains coumarin glycoside aesculin. Our extraction and processing processes lower Aesculin to <0.1%. This satisfies dietary supplement safety guidelines. Full Aesculin testing is in the CoA.

Q: Is organic certification available?

A: Yes. Certified organic Horse Chestnut Extract needs:

Certified organic or wild-crafted seeds

Use organic-certified ethanol for extraction.

Organic-certified processing facility

Organic grade lead time: 4-6 weeks. Each cargo has an Organic Transaction Certificate.

Q: What prevents clumping after opening?

A: This extract absorbs moisture due to its high saponin concentration. To reduce caking:

Reseal containers immediately after use.

Store in climate-controlled environments with <60% humidity.

Apply desiccant packets to opened containers.

Reduce air exposure by transferring to smaller containers.

Consider buying smaller packs for occasional usage.

Q: What paperwork supports regulatory compliance?

A: The standard documentation is:

Certificate of Analysis (CoA)

Statement on Allergens

Statement from BSE/TSE

Statement on GMOs

See the Specification Sheet.

SDS (Safety Data Sheet)

Reports on Heavy Metals and Microbiology

Certificate of Origin, Phytosanitary Certificate (if needed) for overseas shipments

Q: What's the lead time for bulk orders?

A: • Standard grade in-stock: 2-day pickup

· Custom specifications: 4-6 weeks

· Organic certification: 4-6 weeks

• International shipping: Extra 1-2 weeks.

Schedule manufacturing for orders above 500kg with our staff.

Q: Can it be transported abroad?

A: Yes. Canadian, European, Asian, and other markets are our usual destinations. We give export paperwork.

Important: Country regulations vary. Horse chestnut extract is allowed for dietary supplements in the US and EU, however certain markets prohibit usage. Before ordering, check target market regulations.
