Birch Velvet Polysaccharide is a water-soluble active fraction obtained from the inner bark of Betula alba (syn. Betula pendula), a tree traditionally used in Northern European and Asian herbal systems for its soothing properties. Our product is manufactured via hot-water extraction followed by ethanol precipitation and spray drying, yielding a fine off-white to light tan powder with a characteristic mild aroma. Standardized to a polysaccharide content of ≥30% (as glucose), it is designed for use in dietary supplements, cosmeceuticals, and functional food applications.
The extraction process is carefully controlled to preserve the natural polysaccharide profile, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency. Each batch is tested for assay, loss on drying, and heavy metals, with full documentation provided.
