Quality Control

Our Ophiopogonin is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets high-grade standards suitable for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, residual solvents, and heavy metals are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
