Boerhavia Diffusa

Boerhavia diffusa is a perennial creeping herb of the four o'clock family (Nyctaginaceae), known in Ayurveda as punarnava, supplied by Nustras as a dried herb powder and as an extract powder for use as a botanical ingredient in supplements. The root and whole herb are the plant parts traditionally used.

It is formulated into Ayurvedic and traditional-herb supplements in capsule, tablet and powder form, into multi-herb blends and herbal teas, and into botanical premixes where a punarnava ingredient is required.

The material is a light brown to greyish-brown powder with a characteristic herbal odour. Particle size, loss on drying, ash and extractive value are standardised to specification; identity is confirmed by botanical and microscopic examination and TLC against a reference material, and heavy-metal, pesticide-residue and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies Boerhavia diffusa powder and extract in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Boerhavia diffusa is an accepted traditional-herb supplement ingredient in several major markets; buyers confirm the permitted plant part, level and claim for their application.
