Astragalus Powder (Heking) is a bulk botanical powder produced from dried astragalus root (commonly referenced in trade as “Huang Qi”), milled for use as a manufacturing-use ingredient in nutraceutical, functional food, and wellness-oriented formulations. It is typically sourced from Astragalus species used in commerce for root materials such as Astragalus mongholicus (closely related to trade usage of Astragalus membranaceus in some references).
This powder is commonly used in botanical blend and immune-support–positioned product concepts (i.e., “commonly used in immune support formulations”), as well as general wellness formulations where a traditional root-based botanical is desired. Final performance in finished products (taste, dispersibility, and color impact) depends on dose, processing, and the full formula; buyers should validate acceptance criteria using the lot-specific COA and specification sheet.
Applications
- Dietary supplements (capsules, tablets, powder blends, stick packs/sachets)
- Functional foods & beverages (dry premixes; application-dependent)
- Botanical blend formulations for general wellness positioning (claims per local regulations)
- OEM/ODM and contract manufacturing programs requiring an astragalus root powder input
