Description: Gynostemma is a fast-growing perennial climbing vine native to the mountainous regions of China and Southeast Asia. The plant spreads with slender stems and produces palmate leaves composed of five finely serrated leaflets, forming dense green growth during the warm growing season. The leaves are harvested when fully mature, ensuring strong natural colour and botanical integrity before extraction.
The harvested leaves are cleaned, dried, and milled prior to extraction. The extract is produced using a controlled water or hydro-alcoholic process to concentrate the plant material into a dense liquid, which is then dried to form a fine, free flowing powder. The finished extract powder is light brown to olive in colour and has a smooth, uniform texture suitable for blending and formulation.
After drying, the powder is sifted to remove coarse particles and ensure consistent fineness across all batches. This careful processing results in a clean botanical extract that is easy to measure, store, and incorporate into a wide range of dry preparations.
Uses: Gynostemma Powder Extract is used in tea-style blends, powdered beverage mixes, spice and botanical formulations, cosmetic products, soaps, scrubs, craft projects, and educational herb kits. Its concentrated powdered form allows for even dispersion in dry blends, making it suitable for formulation development, herbal mix creation, and applications where a refined botanical extract powder is preferred for consistent texture and colour.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
