Product Description

Introduction of Bitter Melon Extract

Our Bitter Melon Extract is a high-quality standardized natural ingredient derived from dried Momordica charantia L. fruits, cultivated in premium organic regions like Hunan (China) and India. Raw materials are strictly selected and comply with NY/T 963 standards to ensure no pesticide residues or heavy metal contamination.

We adopt patented low-temperature extraction, membrane separation, and freeze-drying/spray-drying processes to maximize retention of heat-sensitive active components. The GMP-certified production strictly follows ISO 22000 standards, with no harmful solvent residues.

Standardized active ingredient specifications: Charantin (1%-10%, HPLC), Polypeptide-P (0.5%-2%, HPLC), total saponins (10%-40%, UV), total polyphenols (≥4.0%, UV-vis).

Differentiation advantages:

① High bioactivity (retains over 95% active components);

② Customizable specifications;

③ Full industrial chain traceability with third-party testing;

④ Excellent water solubility and flowability.

Key Active Compounds

The functional properties of our Bitter Melon Extract come from its rich active compounds:

  • Charantin: Core triterpenoid saponin for blood sugar regulation, improving insulin sensitivity and reducing blood glucose.

  • Polypeptide-P (plant-based glucose-support actives): Insulin-like peptide, regulating glucose metabolism and improving metabolic balance.

  • Momordicin: Triterpenoid with anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial effects, aiding lipid metabolism and weight management.

  • Bitter Melon Polysaccharides: Water-soluble polysaccharide with antioxidant activity, enhancing immune function.

  • Polyphenolic Compounds: Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin wellness support, protecting cardiovascular health.

  • Vitamins and Minerals: Rich in vitamin C, folic acid, potassium, supporting metabolic health.

Benefits

Our Bitter Melon Extract offers multiple science-backed health benefits for functional products:

  • Blood Sugar Regulation: Charantin and Polypeptide-P synergistically maintain healthy blood glucose, suitable for people with blood sugar management needs.

  • Lipid Metabolism Improvement: Reduces triglyceride and cholesterol accumulation, supporting cardiovascular health.

  • Antioxidant and skin wellness support: Scavenges free radicals, reduces cell damage, and protects skin health.

  • Weight Management Support: Enhances fatty acid breakdown, suppresses appetite moderately.

  • Immune Enhancement: Activates the immune system, improving resistance to pathogens.

  • Anti-Inflammatory and Skin Care: Relieves mild inflammation, suitable for cosmetic formulations to soothe skin and control oil.
