Devil’s Claw

Devil's claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) is a plant of southern Africa whose secondary root tubers are the part used in botanical ingredients. Nustras supplies devil's claw as a dried whole-herb extract, a brown fine powder standardised to its harpagoside content, for use as a botanical ingredient in dietary supplements. Harpagoside is an iridoid glycoside and serves as the marker compound for this extract.

Devil's claw extract is formulated into capsules, tablets and powdered blends for the supplement trade, and into herbal premixes and topical cosmetic preparations. The concentrated extract ratio suits compact dosage forms.

The material is a brown fine powder with a characteristic odour. The extract ratio and harpagoside content are standardised to specification and confirmed by HPLC on each lot. Identity is verified against the botanical reference; residual solvents, heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies devil's claw 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. Devil's claw is an accepted botanical supplement ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted plant part, extract ratio and claim for their application.
