1. Product Overview
Eucommia Ulmoides Extract (standardized to ≥ 25.0% Chlorogenic Acid) is derived from the bark and leaves of the Eucommia ulmoides Oliver tree, a revered botanical in traditional herbal formulations. Backed by modern analytical validation, this high-purity extract concentrates active phenylpropanoid compounds, particularly chlorogenic acid, which is celebrated for its potent antioxidant and metabolic-regulating properties.
Engineered for B2B formulators, dietary supplement brands, and functional food manufacturers, our bulk Eucommia Ulmoides Extract delivers exceptional batch consistency, high aqueous solubility, and robust thermal stability. It is an ideal raw material for advanced formulations targeting blood pressure support, weight management, and systemic oxidative defense.
