Product Case Studies
Product Success Cases
Ashwagandha Extract Powder (2.5%-10%)
Case 1: US Supplement Brand – Launching Cortisol-Balancing Capsules
Challenge: A US brand wanted to enter the stress-relief supplement market but faced issues: low-withanolides ashwagandha had inconsistent efficacy, and high-temperature extraction degraded active compounds. Consumers demanded "natural, clinically-proven cortisol support."
Solution: We supplied 5% withanolides Ashwagandha Extract Powder (organic root-sourced, USP/EP compliant) at 400mg/dosage, blended with L-theanine (1:1 ratio). Provided FDA/USP/EP compliance documents and clinical data (35% reduced cortisol levels in 4 weeks).

Case 2: Korean Skincare Brand – Developing Calming Ashwagandha Serum
Challenge: A Korean brand's sensitive-skin serum lacked effective calming ingredients. Low-purity ashwagandha caused skin irritation, and impure products failed EU CosIng certification for global expansion.
Solution: We supplied 2.5% withanolides Ashwagandha Extract Powder at 1.5% dosage, blended with centella asiatica and hyaluronic acid. Provided EU CosIng certification, USP/EP compliance reports, and skin safety test data (no irritation in 1000+ volunteers).
