Biochanin A is an isoflavone aglycone (4′-methoxy derivative of genistein) found in red clover (Trifolium pratense), chickpea, and other legumes. We supply it as a synthetic or semi-synthetic crystalline powder, typically ≥98% by HPLC, with consistent purity and particle size suitable for formulation.
Buyers use Biochanin A in dietary supplements, functional foods, and cosmetic preparations where a well-defined isoflavone is needed. It is also a starting material for chemical synthesis. Orders ship from stock with full documentation, and custom packaging is available for pilot-scale runs.
Biochanin A goes into capsules, tablets, and powdered drink mixes aimed at women’s health and general wellness. Formulators combine it with other isoflavones like genistein or daidzein for synergistic blends. In cosmetics, it appears in anti-aging creams and serums, often solubilized in glycols or ethoxydiglycol.
