Explore our top-tier catalog of highly active, pure botanical extracts manufactured under rigorous international quality standards.
Vitexin (chemically recognized as apigenin-8-C-glucoside) is a powerful flavone C-glycoside natively extracted from a variety of medicinal plants, including hawthorn leaves and berries (Crataegus oxyacantha), chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus), passionflower (Passiflora incarnata), and mung bean sprouts (Vigna radiata). Unlike O-glycosides, the unique C-glycosidic bond in vitexin confers exceptional biochemical stability against enzymatic hydrolysis within the mammalian digestive tract, significantly enhancing its bioavailability and therapeutic retention.
Scientific literature demonstrates that vitexin exhibits strong pharmacological activity profile, particularly in cardiac muscle protection, inflammation modulation, neurological support, and glycemic regulation. As global health trends shift toward preventive medicine and plant-derived therapeutic alternatives, high-purity vitexin is rapidly gaining traction as a primary active ingredient in premium dietary formulations, functional health beverages, and cosmetic solutions.
High chemical stability, high radical scavenging capacity (DPPH & ABTS assays), down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α), and significant cardiovascular support through nitric oxide pathways.
For international buyers, sourcing bulk vitexin requires balancing cost, purity, regulatory compliance, and supply chain continuity.
Standardized vitexin extract is typically traded in specifications ranging from 2% crude extract to >98% high-purity isolate. B2B buyers require HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) verification alongside comprehensive third-party lab testing sheets.
Compliance with European Union Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 and United States Pharmacopeia (USP) guidelines for residual organic solvents and agrochemicals is critical. Natural extraction methods using ethanol and water are preferred to meet clean-label requirements.
Seasonal availability of raw materials like Hawthorn or Chasteberry can disrupt supply chains. Manufacturers must maintain high-capacity raw herb processing and dry storage facilities to offset crop fluctuations and ensure year-round contract stability.

Leveraging advanced processing technologies, abundant herbal cultivation bases, and strict quality control matrices to power global manufacturing.
Benefiting from the solid foundation provided by its parent company, Xi'an Tianben Bioengineering Co., Ltd., Botanical Cube Inc. focuses on researching, developing, producing, and selling healthy natural ingredients. With more than two decades of industry experience, it has become a leader in the field, specializing in providing high-quality plant extracts and customized solutions to global customers. Services meet the needs of industries including herbal medicine, health foods, dietary supplements, food and beverages, daily chemicals, and cosmetics.
Our operations are supported by three companies—Xi'an Tianben Bioengineering Co., Ltd., Botanical Cube Inc., and Shaanxi Tianben Kangyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.—which together operate 3 production bases covering more than 100 acres and process more than 3,000 tons of plant raw materials each year. The product range includes more than 200 plant extracts, and we also provide a variety of certified organic products to meet the global demand for environmentally friendly and healthy solutions. Exporting to 60% of the world's countries, serving more than 200 countries and regions and more than 500 customers from all walks of life.
Our first factory was established in 2012 in Sanyuan City, Xi'an, four years after our company was founded. At that time, our production experience was still in its early stages, and we faced many challenges as we worked to refine our processes. However, we remained committed to continuous improvement, investing heavily in technology, training, and quality control to strengthen our capabilities. These early efforts laid a strong foundation for our future growth, shaping the high standards of excellence that we uphold today.
Over the years, the facility has integrated state-of-the-art multi-stage counter-current extraction units, chromatography separation systems, membrane separation systems, and vacuum low-temperature evaporation technology, maximizing vitexin recovery efficiency while minimizing thermal degradation.
Powder collection, crushing and sieving, mixing, and drying processes are all performed in a Class 100,000 cleanroom environment. Our operators strictly follow hygiene protocols and wear sterile gowns, masks, and gloves to maintain product purity and safety, thus ensuring that we provide our customers with high quality standards and reliable ingredients.
The clean room features independent air handling systems (AHUs) with HEPA filtration, differential pressure monitoring, and strict control zones to prevent micro-contamination and cross-contamination with other botanicals, guaranteeing consistent quality across batches.
Entering overseas markets requires navigation of complex food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical regulatory frameworks. Our factory offers dedicated regulatory support.
We compile comprehensive dossiers including Master Files, NDIs (New Dietary Ingredient Notifications), and EFSA Novel Food applications. Fully compliant with US DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act) standards.
Our manufacturing processes are certified under ISO22000, HACCP, GMP, Kosher, Halal, and organic (USDA and EU organic certifications) protocols to ensure seamless custom clearance globally.
To improve lead times, we offer localized warehousing options in key distribution hubs, lowering freight costs, optimizing inventory levels, and supporting DDP/FOB/CIF shipping modalities.
Thanks to its multi-functional physiological characteristics, Vitexin serves as a robust component in diverse market segments.
Utilized in heart health formulations (circulatory and arterial support), stress-management formulas, sleep aids, and daily adaptogens to restore homeostasis and cellular health.
Easily formulated into health shots, functional energy juices, instant teas, and powder drink mixes. High water solubility at lower concentrations allows clean-label transparency.
Applied in anti-aging creams, anti-inflammatory serums, and sun care protection. Vitexin acts as an effective photoprotective agent reducing UV-induced oxidative stress on skin barrier cells.

Our standardized Vitexin powder has a certified shelf life of 24 months when stored in its original, unopened packaging. It must be kept in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and high temperatures. In industrial setups, we recommend maintaining temperatures below 25°C and relative humidity below 60%.
We primarily utilize High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) coupled with UV detection for quantitative profiling of Vitexin. For research-grade isolations, we confirm the molecular structure using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Mass Spectrometry (MS). Each batch is dispatched with a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) containing assay metrics, heavy metal counts, microbial levels, and moisture content.
We implement a strict raw material sourcing protocol. We source from certified geographical cultivation zones. Heavy metals (Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury) are analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) to ensure compliance with USP & European Pharmacopoeia limits. Pesticide residues are screened via GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS against EPA & EU multi-residue compliance lists.
Yes. Utilizing our advanced 100,000-class clean room blending and processing capacities, we can custom-mix Vitexin with other active herbal ingredients (like Rosavins, Eurycomanone, or Salidrosides). We also provide specialized packaging options, contract manufacturing services (such as capsule filling or custom sachet packaging), and particle size adjustment (micronized powder) to match your manufacturing requirements.
Our standard MOQ for wholesale vitexin and standardized herbal powders starts at 1kg for high-value compounds, up to 25kg (standard fiber drum) for high-volume commercial batches. Delivery lead times depend on target specifications and stock levels. Common specifications are dispatched within 3-5 working days from our Shaanxi facilities, whereas custom formulations take 2-4 weeks.
Ensure complete raw ingredient supply chain security by matching your orders with our supplementary active botanical lines.
