Specifying Shatavari Extract

The 20, 40 and 60% figures are gravimetric totals. Shatavarin IV by HPLC is a different, much smaller number on the same powder, so compare grades only within the same method.

Questions about Shatavari Extract

What is the botanical source of Shatavari Extract?

Shatavari Extract is derived from the roots of Asparagus racemosus.

What standardisation levels are available?

Shatavari Extract can be supplied in different grades standardised to total steroidal saponins, including commonly requested 20%, 40% and 60% grades, subject to the agreed analytical method and availability.

Why should the analytical method be specified alongside the saponin percentage?

A stated saponin percentage does not fully define an extract without the analytical method used to determine it. Different methods and reference standards can produce different results, so the percentage and analytical method should be considered together when comparing grades.

Can you supply Shatavari to an existing specification?

Yes. Buyers can provide their required saponin level, analytical method, physical parameters and documentation requirements for review before quotation.

What is the typical procurement process for Shatavari Extract?

The requirement is reviewed against the available grade, specification and quantity. Samples and technical documentation can be arranged where required, followed by quotation and commercial supply against the agreed specification.
