5. Production Process

1. Sourcing Prime Raw Materials: We meticulously source high-quality Astragalus membranaceus roots from reliable suppliers. These roots are harvested at the optimal stage to ensure maximum bioactive compound content, as determined by advanced analytical techniques.
2. Cleaning and Preparation: The harvested roots undergo a thorough cleaning process to remove dirt, debris, and potential contaminants. Then, they are dried using gentle, low-temperature methods to preserve the integrity of the bioactive compounds.
3. Extraction and Purification: Employ a combination of advanced extraction techniques. Solvent extraction, often using ethanol or water-ethanol mixtures, is commonly used to dissolve the Astragalus extract along with other beneficial compounds. Ultrafiltration and chromatography steps, especially high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), are then applied to purify the extract and isolate the pure Astragalus extract.
4. Drying and Packaging: The purified Astragalus extract is dried using vacuum freeze-drying or spray drying to obtain a stable powder form. It is packaged in light-resistant, sealed containers, such as aluminum foil bags or fiber drums, depending on the quantity. This packaging safeguards against light, moisture, and air ingress, ensuring product stability and potency.
