Banaba Leaf Extract

Nutri Partners offers high-quality Banaba Leaf Extract wholesale, derived from the tropical plant Lagerstroemia speciosa, native to Southeast Asia. Traditionally used in the Philippines for generations to support healthy blood sugar levels, Banaba is now a leading botanical in the global “Gluco-support” market. Our product is a standardized fine powder, concentrated to deliver precise levels of Corosolic Acid, the key bioactive compound known for its insulin-like properties.

Key Features

• Standardization: Available in various grades, typically 1%, 2%, or 10% Corosolic Acid (HPLC tested) to ensure consistent potency.
• Active Compound: Corosolic Acid is known as a “phyto-insulin” which helps facilitate glucose transport into cells.
• Origin: Sourced primarily from sustainable farms in the Philippines and India.
• Solubility: The extract powder is generally water-soluble, suitable for capsules, tablets, and functional beverages.
• Purity: Free from extraction solvents residue, non-GMO, and irradiated for microbiological safety (upon request).

Applications

Banaba is a cornerstone ingredient for metabolic health formulations:

• Blood Sugar Management: The primary application. Used in supplements designed to maintain healthy glucose levels and insulin sensitivity.
• Weight Management: Often combined with other metabolic boosters. It helps control carbohydrate cravings and supports weight loss by modulating glucose metabolism.
• Sports Nutrition: Used in “Glucose Disposal Agents” (GDAs) to help drive carbohydrates into muscle cells (as glycogen) rather than storing them as fat.
• Functional Beverages: Excellent for diabetic-friendly teas and drinks sweetened with Stevia Extract.

Technical Description: Banaba Leaf Extract Wholesale

When sourcing Banaba Leaf Extract wholesale, the distinction between “Plain Powder” and “Standardized Extract” is critical.

Plain Powder (Ratio Extract): E.g., 10:1 ratio. Good for general wellness, but the active content varies by harvest.
Standardized Extract: Guaranteed content of Corosolic Acid (e.g., 1% or 2%). This is the professional standard for dietary supplements, allowing manufacturers to make specific label claims regarding efficacy.
Corosolic acid works by activating the glucose transport protein GLUT4, mimicking the action of insulin. We provide Certificates of Analysis (CoA) verifying the Corosolic Acid content via HPLC methods to ensure you get the potency you pay for.

Packaging & Logistics

Packaging: 25 kg fiber drums with double PE liners.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. The powder is stable but should be kept sealed to prevent moisture absorption.

Samples: 10g – 50g samples available for HPLC verification.
