What Is Cascara Sagrada 3:1 Powdered Extract?
Cascara Sagrada 3:1 Powdered Extract is a dry extract of Frangula purshiana bark on a maltodextrin carrier, supplied at the 3:1 concentration named in the product. Part 4128 gives formulators a defined-ratio cascara bark powder as a factual product spec, without tying that ratio to any marker compound or health outcome. It is a fit when your documentation calls for a labeled 3:1 extract.
Market Demand
Buyers increasingly ask for defined-spec botanical powders that simplify formula documentation, and cascara bark is a heritage entry in the digestive-support set. Fact.MR projects a 6.5% CAGR for cascara sagrada extract, lifting the segment to nearly US$115.6 million by 2034. A labeled 3:1 powder answers demand for consistent, spec-driven cascara inputs.
Formulation Applications
The 4128 grade fits encapsulation and tableting where a stated 3:1 concentration ratio helps standardize a formula and its label copy. Frangula purshiana bark is traditionally used to support occasional regularity and digestive comfort, so brands can position this defined-spec powder around dependable, tradition-based digestive-support products in capsule or tablet form.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Bio-Botanica has operated as a family-owned botanical manufacturer in Hauppauge, New York since 1972, producing extracts in an FDA-inspected cGMP facility. The Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction process maintains the native bark profile, and every 3:1 lot passes identity, microbial, USP, and heavy-metal testing on instrumentation such as UPLC-MS/MS, LC/MS, and ICP/MS. With NSF, cGMP, and FSSC 22000 systems and Kosher, Halal, and Organic options, spec-focused formulators gain a documented partner.
Common Buyer Questions

It is the labeled concentration ratio at which this powdered bark extract is supplied, stated as a factual product spec. We do not tie it to a marker compound or a health benefit.

It is a powdered extract of Frangula purshiana bark, the cascara sagrada source. Only the bark is used.
What is the carrier?
