Adhatoda Vasica Extract is made from the leaves of the Vasaka shrub, known in India as Adulsa or Malabar nut. Vasaka is one of the most familiar herbs in Ayurvedic respiratory preparations, and its extract is widely used in herbal syrups, lozenges, capsules and tablets for throat and seasonal wellness.
Arizone International supplies Adhatoda Vasica Extract for nutraceutical, herbal, cosmetic and food manufacturers, private label brands, wholesalers and bulk buyers. Standardisation, extract ratio, carrier, packaging and quantity can all be set to your specification.
Adhatoda vasica, now also classified as Justicia adhatoda, is an evergreen shrub that grows across India and South Asia. Its large, lance-shaped leaves contain quinazoline alkaloids, the best known of which is vasicine, along with vasicinone, flavonoids and other plant compounds.
Vasaka has a long history in Ayurveda, where it is a key ingredient in classical preparations such as Vasavaleha and Vasarishta. Modern extracts are usually standardised to vasicine, which gives manufacturers a consistent measure of strength from batch to batch.
To make the extract, the dried plant material is cleaned, milled and extracted with water, hydro-alcohol or another suitable solvent. The liquid extract is filtered, concentrated and usually spray-dried into a fine, free-flowing powder. It can then be standardised to a marker compound or supplied as a ratio extract, such as 10:1, and any carrier used, such as maltodextrin, is stated on the specification.
Formulation, dosage, safety assessment, labelling and permitted claims of the finished product must comply with the regulations of the intended market. Vasaka is traditionally avoided during pregnancy, as vasicine has been reported to stimulate the uterus, so finished products should carry a pregnancy warning.
Ask for HPLC-tested vasicine content and identity testing, as leaves from other shrubs are sometimes mixed into Vasaka raw material.
Vasaka extract is bitter, so syrups usually combine it with honey, licorice or other taste-masking ingredients.
For tablets and capsules, a ratio extract such as 10:1 gives a smaller dose, while vasicine-standardised grades suit brands that want to show a measured active content. Vasaka extract absorbs moisture, so keep drums sealed with their liners closed between uses.
