What Is Cascara Sagrada Fluid Extract?
Cascara Sagrada Fluid Extract, part 5023-A, is a liquid extract of Frangula purshiana bark carried in ethanol; the ethanol carrier contains alcohol. This is the standard cascara bark fluid extract in Bio-Botanica's line, geared toward formulators who need a pourable bark extract for two-piece liquid fills and beverage bases. It is offered full-spectrum and non-standardized.
Market Demand
Botanical digestive-support formats keep drawing formulator attention, and cascara bark sits squarely in that conversation. According to Fact.MR, cascara sagrada extract demand is projected to climb at a 6.5% CAGR toward roughly US$115.6 million by 2034. That growth reflects steady interest in heritage bark ingredients across supplement and functional-beverage development.
Formulation Applications
The 5023-A grade works well in liquid-filled capsules, herbal shots, and beverage concentrates where a fluid bark extract streamlines batching. Frangula purshiana bark is traditionally used to support occasional regularity and digestive balance, so brands can position this fluid extract around tradition-led digestive wellness. Its liquid form disperses into aqueous-alcoholic systems and multi-herb blends.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Since 1972, Bio-Botanica has manufactured botanical extracts as a family-owned company operating an FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York. Its Bio-Chelated cold-extraction method uses low heat to hold the native constituents of the bark, and finished lots undergo identity, microbial, USP, and heavy-metal testing on tools such as UPLC-MS/MS, GC/MS, and ICP/MS. With NSF, cGMP, and FSSC 22000 quality systems and Kosher, Halal, and Organic options, formulators gain a documented, dependable supply base.
