About Motherwort Herb & Motherwort Extract

We, MUZI Agricultural, are a comprehensive company, which is engaged in supplying of natural ingredients’ research, development, contract manufacturing and export for these fields of pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, cosmetics, functional foods and beverages. Our main products at present stage include plant extracts and food additives, tough we are moving towards to diversifying products with the purpose of serving customers more conveniently, punctually  and efficiently.

Here, I’d like to share some new and useful information of Motherwort to you all.

First, after several years of learning and research on Motherwort by our technical staffs and experts, we get start to focus on manufacturing of Motherwort Herb Extract. Meantime, we are the first manufacturer who can produce natural leonurine & Stachydrine in China. Many research results showed that the content of these substances in the plant were actually very low, just between 0.1%-1.5% . Comparatively speaking, the highest percentage of Leonurine & Stachydrine is in the leaves and flowers. There is hardly any leonurine and Stachydrine in other parts of the plant. In this case, the costs of processing of natural leonurine & Stachydrine were too high to accept by most customers before. It made people to try the synthetic leonurine ( Leonurine HCL) or Synthetic Stachydrine more than the natural extracted leonurine &Stachydrine. Although the synthetic and the natural might be have the same or similar effects, the assurance coefficient of the natural is much higher than the synthetic’s, as well as more green and healthy. Therefore, through our constant technical improvement, the costs of processing had been cut more times. and we have worked out a favorable and acceptable price for both buyers and us.

Next, we are very pleased to introduce the classifications, the identifications, the chemical ingredients, the specifications, the benefits and sorts of applications in turn.
