Extracts, ingredients and pricing
11 guides
Buyers rarely source a botanical in the abstract. They source a specific part of a specific plant, in a specific form, at a specification and a price that both sides can check. This topic holds the guides that make those choices clearer.
It contains the ingredient guides for ashwagandha, shatavari, brahmi, boswellia serrata, moringa and tulsi, covering varieties, extract specifications, certifications and what buyers should ask for. It also explains the difference between an herbal extract and a botanical powder, a choice that affects specification, cost, regulation and customs classification.
Pricing is covered in two ways: a guide to how herbal ingredient prices are determined, including seasonality and other cost drivers, and a transparent look at what international buyers pay for ashwagandha extract. For turmeric and curcumin pricing, see the turmeric topics. The guides on US supplement brands and on ashwagandha export documentation connect the ingredient to its market route.
