What Is Horehound Powdered Extract?
Horehound Powdered Extract concentrates the bitter leaf of Marrubium vulgare into a dry, dose-ready form carried on di-calcium phosphate. The woolly mint-family herb behind traditional horehound lozenges reaches capsule, tablet, and gummy makers here as a full-spectrum, non-standardized powder from Bio-Botanica, ready for solid-dose formulation. The dry format lets its bitter character travel into capsules and lozenges without a liquid base.
Market Demand
The revival of bitter and cleansing botanicals continues to lift horehound, a herb consumers recognize from old-fashioned candies and traditional remedies. Nostalgia marketing around those old-fashioned confections gives the herb an easy consumer hook. As dry supplement and lozenge formats grow, a powdered horehound extract positions a brand to serve that renewed appetite for heritage bitters in capsules, tablets, and gummies, the solid-dose counterpart to the fluid grade.
Formulation Applications
The powder presses into tablets and lozenges, fills capsules, and blends into gummies, stick-packs, and dry bitters or cleansing formulas, rehydrating in liquids and anchoring traditional cough-drop-style concepts. Horehound is traditionally associated with detox and cleansing support, offered as structure/function positioning and not a consumer health claim.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Operating in Hauppauge, New York since 1972, this family-owned, FDA-inspected cGMP producer processes the leaf with its Bio-Chelated low-heat method to preserve a Holistically Balanced set of naturally occurring constituents. The onsite laboratory documents identity, microbial, USP, and heavy-metal results on HPLC and ICP/MS systems, and Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification is available to brands that request it.
