Quality Control

Our Fumaria Officinalis Extract is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure identity, purity, strength, and composition, with specifications aligned to industry standards for botanical extracts. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay (typically by HPLC for marker compounds like protopine), heavy metals, residual solvents, microbial limits, and other relevant parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from excessive heat and moisture.
