Butea Superba

Butea superba is a climbing, tuberous legume of the family Fabaceae native to Thailand and neighbouring parts of South-East Asia, where its tuberous root is a traditional herbal ingredient. Nustras supplies the dried root as a milled powder and as a powdered extract for botanical supplements. The root contains flavonoids, flavonoid glycosides and plant sterols.

Butea superba powder and extract are formulated into botanical supplements in capsule, tablet and powder form, into herbal blends and functional beverages, and into cosmetic preparations where a plant-derived extract is wanted.

The material is a light brown to brown powder with a characteristic odour. Extract ratio or marker content, loss on drying, ash and particle size are standardised to specification; identity is confirmed by thin-layer chromatography or HPLC against a reference, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies Butea superba 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. Butea superba is a traditional herbal ingredient whose regulatory status varies by market; buyers confirm the permitted use, level and claim for their application.
