Echinacea Extract Powder 4:1

Echinacea Extract Powder 4:1 — Echinacea purpurea, China

Echinacea Extract Powder 4:1 (Echinacea purpurea) — a concentrated extract produced at a 4:1 ratio from dried Echinacea purpurea aerial herb. Four parts raw echinacea herb were used to produce one part of this finished extract powder. Echinacea purpurea (Purple Coneflower) is a flowering perennial in the Asteraceae family, native to eastern North America and now widely cultivated across China and Europe for the commercial botanical trade. It is one of the most commercially significant botanical herbs in Australian and global natural products markets, with long-standing consumer recognition and a well-established presence in the supplement, functional food, and herbal tea sectors.

At the 4:1 concentration ratio, the alkylamide compounds characteristic of echinacea — responsible for the distinctive mild tongue-tingling sensation — are concentrated alongside other water-soluble plant constituents. This characteristic tingling is a recognised quality indicator for genuine echinacea material. The extract is used in capsule and tablet manufacturing, supplement product formulation, functional food applications, and private label product development where a concentrated, consistent echinacea ingredient is required at a smaller inclusion volume than raw herb powder. This product is sold as a food ingredient only. Raw echinacea herb (conventional and organic, whole herb and root grades) are also available separately.
