Premium Hypericin Extract - Professional Manufacturer & Supplier

We are a vertically integrated producer with controlled planting bases and advanced extraction facilities. We offer consistent, high-potency Hypericin Extract that addresses key industry obstacles such as batch-to-batch variability, bioavailability issues, and strict regulatory compliance. Our extraction process ensures accurate standardisation of hypericin and pseudohypericin levels, while preserving appropriate stability profiles. This gives you a competitive edge in nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and veterinary applications. Shaanxi Hongda is your reliable supply chain partner with ISO22000, cGMP, HALAL, KOSHER and FSSC22000 Certifications, offering vigorous quality control and complete technical support to bring real benefits to your formulations and reach market success.

Product Introduction

Our product is a standardised, highly potent concentration from the flowering tops of St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) with purified naphthodianthrones, chiefly hypericin and pseudohypericin. This dark brown to black fine powder flows through 80-mesh for optimum flowability in encapsulation, delivering the precise therapeutic dose necessary for neurotransmitter regulation. Our light-shielded extraction procedures offer high stability against photodegradation, ensuring consistent bioactive potency for mood support, antiviral defence and dermatological applications in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical sectors.

Third-Party Test Reports

Third Party Testing: We carry out comprehensive third party testing for all our product batches through authorised laboratories such as SGS and Eurofins to ensure transparency and conformity with international market standards.

HPLC Assay Testing: We offer mandatory determination of total hypericins (hypericin + pseudohypericin) by high performance liquid chromatography for accurate quantification and validation of the process, meeting pharmacopoeial requirements (USP/EP/BP) without interference from other pigments.

Hypericin Extract Advantages

Consistent Hypericin Levels: Our standardised extraction method avoids seasonal variations in harvesting to ensure consistent hypericin levels for accurate therapeutic dosing for mood stabilisation and neurotransmitter modulation throughout all manufacturing lots.

Superior Stability Profile: Our extract is prepared using patented light-shielded techniques to preserve structural integrity, reduce photodegradation, and extend the shelf life and efficacy of active compounds during distribution and storage.

Clean Label Compliance: Ethanol-water extraction assures no methanol residues, and extensive screening for pyrrolizidine alkaloids and pesticides guarantees your formulations are compliant with the most stringent international ‘Clean Label’ regulations.

Hypericin Extract Applications

Mood Support Supplements: Our standardised extract, available in capsules and tablets at a standardised 0.3% level of hypericin, offers constant support for emotional stability and relief from mild to severe depression without the sedative effects associated with synthetic options.

Veterinary Health Solutions: Used as functional feed additives in poultry and cattle production, it provides powerful antiviral activity against enveloped viruses such as Avian Influenza, increasing survival rates and decreasing reliance on antibiotics in commercial farming operations.

Dermatological Preparations: Incorporated into specialized creams and wound-healing formulations, leveraging anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties for atopic dermatitis management and epithelial tissue repair, with carefully controlled dosing to prevent phototoxicity.

Production Process

Step 1 - Raw Material Selection: We harvest outstanding Hypericum perforatum flowering tips from our certified organic planting bases during the time of maximum hypericin concentrations, so that the beginning material contains the best possible bioactive ingredient density for best extraction yields.

Step 2 - Pre-treatment & Extraction: The cleaned botanicals are dried in controlled conditions, and extracted with ethanol-water in light-shielded conditions, at optimised temperature and pressure parameters, to achieve maximum recovery of hypericin and pseudohypericin without photodegradation and solvent contamination.

Step 3 - Concentration & Purification: The crude extract undergoes a multi-stage filtration and vacuum concentration process to eliminate contaminants and achieve precise standardisation to hypericin requirements, verified by in-process HPLC monitoring.

Step 4 - Spray Drying & Milling: Our concentrated extract is spray dried at low temperature within our 100,000 level purification factory, then milled to a precise 80-mesh particle size to provide a free flowing powder with a consistent bulk density optimised for downstream formulation.

Step 5 – Quality Testing & Packaging: The final product is subjected to rigorous testing including HPLC assay, heavy metals, microbiology and pesticide screening and then packed in double layer PE bags inside fibre drums in controlled humidity condition to maintain its stability during storage and transportation.

OEM / ODM Support

Custom Formulation Development: Our professor-level R&D team collaborates with you to develop proprietary Hypericin Extract formulations tailor-designed to your market positioning. From standardising alternative hypericin concentrations to creating synergistic botanical blends to optimising delivery formats for enhanced bioavailability, we work with you to meet your needs.

Flexible Dosage Form Manufacturing: We produce finished products including soft capsules, hard capsules, tablets, and premixed powders according to your specifications, utilizing our cGMP-certified production lines and 100,000-level purification workshops for pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing quality.

Packaging Customisation Services: We offer a wide range of packaging choices from bulk fibre drums to consumer-ready bottles with your brand identification, including label design, blister packs and light-protective containers to guarantee hypericin stability throughout the product life cycle.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between HPLC and UV testing for hypericin content?

A: HPLC is able to accurately quantify individual hypericin and pseudohypericin compounds without interference from other colours, however UV testing usually reports inflated values. We employ HPLC technology just to meet pharmacopoeial standards.

Q: How to avoid photodegradation of hypericin in extraction?

A: We use proprietary light-shielded techniques for extraction and final products are packaged in light-protective containers with storage guidelines to guarantee bioactive stability.

Q: Is it possible to tailor hypericin concentration above the 0.3% standard?

A: Yes, our R&D team can customise the standardisation of hypericin content from 0.1% to 0.5% according to different application needs and desired efficacy profiles.
