Explore our range of premium-grade, third-party verified botanical extracts, specifically manufactured to meet international USP/EP standards.
Andy Biotech is a leading manufacturer and supplier of premium-quality, scientifically-validated plant extracts for the food, beverage, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Founded on a commitment to purity, potency, and innovation, we bridge the gap between nature’s potential and your product development goals.
Our core strength lies in our vertically integrated process, which gives us complete control from seed to extract. We partner with a network of certified organic and sustainably managed farms to ensure the integrity of every raw material. Our state-of-the-art extraction facilities employ advanced technologies, including supercritical solvent and water-based methods, to preserve the full spectrum of bioactive compounds without compromising on environmental responsibility.
Quality and safety are non-negotiable. Every batch undergoes rigorous testing in our in-house laboratories, equipped with HPLC, GC-MS, and other advanced analytical instruments. We guarantee compliance with stringent international standards, including ISO, NSF, cGMP, and related certifications. Our commitment to transparency means you receive comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for every product, ensuring traceability and peace of mind.
It's one thing to just meet the regulations when providing ingredients, but when an ingredient supplier exceeds those standards and imposes even higher ones in its products that is a sign of a company who cares. Andy Biotech takes extra steps to ensure that our independent third-party laboratory-tested ingredients you want meet our standards as well as your own.
Our extensive portfolio features a wide range of standardized extract, ratio extract, and custom blends tailored to specific formulations. Whether you need Echinacea for immune support, Turmeric with high curcuminoid content, or innovative botanical blends for skincare, our technical team works closely with you to deliver exactly what your product requires. Andy Biotech provides high quality Ginkgo Biloba Extract, Lycopene Tomato Extract, Lutein Marigold Extract, Aloe Vera Gel Freeze Dried powder, Aloe Vera Extract, and other natural ingredients.
An industrial-grade breakdown of Ginkgolides (Terpene Lactones) for procurement heads, clinical formulators, and compliance directors.
Ginkgolides are diterpene lactones isolated from the leaves of the Ginkgo biloba tree. They possess a unique 20-carbon cage-like structure containing a t-butyl group and three lactone rings. Structurally classified as Ginkgolide A (GA), Ginkgolide B (GB), Ginkgolide C (GC), Ginkgolide J (GJ), and Ginkgolide M (GM), these molecules differ primarily in the degree of hydroxyl groups.
Clinically, Ginkgolide B stands out as the most potent antagonist of the Platelet-Activating Factor (PAF) receptor. By competitively binding to PAF receptors, Ginkgolides inhibit platelet aggregation, protect neuronal structures from ischemic damage, and downregulate inflammatory cytokine cascades. This makes them crucial ingredients in treating cardiovascular diseases, cognitive impairments, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Standardized pharmaceutical-grade extracts must control cytotoxic impurities like Ginkgolic Acids. Our purification plant utilizes column chromatography with specific macroporous adsorption resins to safely reduce Ginkgolic Acids below 1 ppm, far exceeding the USP/EP requirements of 5 ppm.

China accounts for over 70% of the world's Ginkgo biloba cultivation areas. Shaanxi, Jiangsu, and Shandong provinces offer unique climatic conditions that generate elevated levels of active terpene lactones in the leaves.
At Andy Biotech, our raw materials are collected from GAP-certified plantations. The leaves are harvested within a narrow autumn window when the concentration of Ginkgolides is biologically optimized. Operating directly from the agricultural source allows us to balance stable pricing and continuous raw supply, safeguarding our clients from global supply shocks.
Our factory uses advanced counter-current extraction lines combined with continuous low-temperature vacuum evaporation. This preserves the delicate chemical structures of Ginkgolides and Bilobalide from thermal degradation, while optimizing solvent recovery to maintain eco-friendly industrial operations.
We understand that sourcing plant extracts is not just about molecular purity; it is about navigating complex country-specific regulations and ensuring seamless logistics.
To avoid shipping bottlenecks, we maintain permanent inventory levels in key regional hubs. Our localized warehouses facilitate Just-In-Time (JIT) deliveries, lowering your internal storage costs and offering swift customs clearance without administrative delays.
Our regulatory affairs team provides complete paperwork, including DMFs (Drug Master Files), CEP registration support, Allergen statements, Non-GMO declarations, and Kosher/Halal certifications. We assist in aligning your consumer product labels with local FDA or EFSA guidelines.
Different applications require distinct physical parameters. Whether you need direct-compression granules for tableting, ultra-fine micronized powders for cosmetic emulsification, or water-soluble Ginkgo solutions for functional beverages, our R&D center customizes particle sizes and excipient carriers.
Andy was born in a small village close to Hanjiang River in Hanzhong Shaanxi province, China. Thirty years ago, when she was still a little child, she caught a cold, but the medical services were not available unless the family crossed over high mountains to find a hospital. Thus, Andy's grandfather first used Echinacea leaves soaked in water for her treatment, then he dug Echinacea root and shredded into pulp and squeezed the liquid for Andy to drink one spoon every two hours. Andy recovered after this treatment.
As a child, Andy watched her grandfather harness the healing power of plants in his humble garden. His ancient herbal remedies were not just treatments; they were magic. That early wonder blossomed into a profound passion for plant extracts and a deep respect for nature’s wisdom. From that time on, little Andy swore that she would help to spread all herbs all over the world to give benefit to more people.
This personal journey is the heart of Andy Biotech. It’s why Andy Biotech is dedicated to researching and delivering the purest, most effective botanical solutions for modern wellness. Andy’s lifelong vow is to honor that tradition by innovating for a healthier future, empowering lives through the timeless power of plants.
