Tribulus total saponins, Chinese-grade raw material that formulators actually use Meet Tribulus Terrestris Extract Total Saponins Chinese Raw Material —a workhorse botanical for sports nutrition and men’s vitality blends. To be honest, I’ve seen this ingredient come and go in trends, but demand is steady again as brands pivot to clean-label, herb-forward formulas. Origin: Building 23B1, No.2 Yuanboyuan St., Zhengding Area of China (Hebei) Pilot Free Trade Zone. What it is (quick spec snapshot) Source: Tribulus terrestris L., used part: fruit; solvents: water & ethanol; Non-GMO, BSE/TSE free, non-irradiation, allergen free. Many customers say they prefer this extract because it behaves consistently in tablets and blends—small thing, big headache avoided. Parameter Specification (typical) Method/Note Total Saponins ≈ 40%–90% (customizable) UV; HPLC profile on request Protodioscin assay by HPLC (batch-dependent) Fingerprint ID Moisture / Ash Loss on Drying / Residue on Ignition Particle Size 100–200 mesh Flow-optimized Heavy Metals Pb/Cd/As/Hg ≤ limits AOAC ICP-MS; USP Micro TPC ≤ 1,000 cfu/g; Yeast & Mold ≤ 100 cfu/g; Pathogens: Negative USP / Shelf Life 24 months, cool & dry Real-world use may vary Process flow (how it’s made, in plain English) Materials: authenticated Tribulus fruit; vendor audits at origin farms. Extraction: water–ethanol percolation; controlled temperature; solvent recovery. Concentration & purification: membrane + resin steps for saponin enrichment. Drying: spray or vacuum belt drying to protect heat-sensitive saponins. Finishing: milling to mesh spec; blending for lot uniformity. Testing: ID (HPLC/FTIR), saponins assay, residual solvents (GC), heavy metals (ICP-MS), micro (USP /). Where it fits Sports nutrition capsules, tablets, effervescents Powder blends and stick packs (flavor masking needed above ~60% saponins) Herbal complexes with maca, ginseng, zinc (common pairing, nothing too wild) A recent lot showed, for example: Total Saponins (UV) 45.3%, Protodioscin (HPLC) 12.1%, Moisture 3.5%, Ash 4.2%, Pb/Cd/As/Hg all within limits, TPC Vendor comparison (why this source often wins) Criteria Finutra (China) Domestic Trader Overseas Broker Traceability Farm-to-lot docs; in-house HPLC Mixed origins Varies by shipment Customization 40–90% saponins; 100–200 mesh Limited Depends on supplier Lead Time ≈ 7–15 days ≈ 10–25 days ≈ 20–35 days Cost Stability High (direct) Medium Low Customization & compliance Options: saponins 40/60/80/90%, mesh 100–200, carrier-free or with excipient, vegan capsules grade, solvent history (water–ethanol). Typical certificates on request: ISO 9001, ISO 22000/HACCP, Halal, Kosher, COA with HPLC fingerprint, and stability data. Testing aligned with USP , /, heavy metals via AOAC ICP-MS. Mini case study A mid-size EU sports brand reformulated a pre-workout using Tribulus Terrestris Extract Total Saponins Chinese Raw Material at 300 mg/serving (60% saponins). Result? Faster tableting, fewer capping issues; CPK improved from 1.05 to 1.48. Customer feedback (anecdotally) mentioned “cleaner taste” after switching to the ethanol–water extract. Surprisingly, that small solvent detail mattered in the blend. Why it’s trending again Two things: botanical transparency and flexible specs. Formulators can dial in saponins to hit price targets without sacrificing identity. And yes, consumers still search for Tribulus Terrestris Extract Total Saponins Chinese Raw Material as a legacy hero—nostalgia sells, but quality keeps it. Industries served Sports nutrition, men’s health, traditional herbal lines, and contract manufacturing for private label SKUs.
