Understanding the market evolution, raw material availability, and shifting demands of Dihydroquercetin (DHQ) globally.
Taxifolin (CAS: 480-18-2), also known as Dihydroquercetin (DHQ), is a potent pentahydroxyflavanone typically extracted from the heartwood of Larix sibirica (Siberian Larch) or Larix gmelinii (Dahurian Larch). Because larch trees require decades to grow, securing sustainable, long-term raw wood sources is a key barrier to entry. Andy Biotech overcomes this with robust ecological partnerships.
Driven by shifting consumer interest toward life extension, metabolic health, and clean-label food preservatives, the worldwide Taxifolin market is experiencing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 6.5%. Major industry segments in North America, Western Europe, and East Asia are incorporating Taxifolin into functional formulas for cellular protection and cosmetic stabilization.
With the European Union classifying Dihydroquercetin from Siberian Larch as a Novel Food Ingredient and the US FDA recognizing self-affirmed GRAS status for specific dietary applications, B2B buyers must partner with manufacturers whose manufacturing processes adhere tightly to these regulatory definitions. Andy Biotech ensures fully compliant batches for international borders.
Pioneering green chemistry and precise fractionation to ensure maximum bio-activity and chemical purity.
Our raw materials are derived exclusively from mature Larch wood processing residues, avoiding deforestation. The heartwood is chipped, calibrated, and conditioned to optimize moisture levels, ensuring optimal exposure of cellular matrices to subsequent extraction solvents.
Using food-grade aqueous ethanol systems, we utilize dynamic pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) methods. This operates at controlled temperatures to prevent the thermodegradation of Dihydroquercetin molecules while yielding an extract rich in active flavanones.
The crude solution is guided through specialized food-grade macroporous resin columns. Through targeted elution gradients, Taxifolin is isolated from companion lignans and resin acids, boosting the purity profile from a baseline 50% to above 98% crystalline purity.
We run low-temperature vacuum crystallization followed by gentle spray drying or freeze-drying. Every batch is analyzed via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to verify chemical uniformity, complete lack of residual solvents, and strict microbiological compliance.
Why sourcing from Andy Biotech in Shaanxi offers unparalleled economic and operational safety.
Situated in Hanzhong, Shaanxi province, adjacent to the Hanjiang River, our facility rests in a historic hub of botanical medicine. This location provides deep access to northern Larch resources alongside an established industrial cluster for phytochemistry, decreasing logistics overhead and ensuring raw material security.
Our operational strength is anchored in vertical integration. We exercise full quality custody from material sourcing down to final packaging. By eliminating middle-tier agents and optimizing heating, solvent recycling, and extraction mechanics, we offer competitive bulk prices without sacrificing purity.
Equipped with reliable custom-clearance protocols and close ties with global ocean and air carriers, Andy Biotech ensures reliable shipment schedules. Whether you require standard sea containers or emergency air freight, our operations adjust to match your inventory flow seamlessly.
Tailored formulations designed to meet regional market preferences and compliance conditions.
In the USA and Canada, Dihydroquercetin is high in demand within cardio-support, longevity, and post-exercise recovery formulas. Its powerful synergistic effect when paired with Vitamin C makes it a favorite ingredient for premium capsule brands. Andy Biotech offers granular and powder variations tailored for optimal capsulation or tableting speed.
With strict EU regulations targeting synthetic preservatives, European cosmetic brands incorporate cosmetic-grade Taxifolin as a natural antioxidant and stabilizer in anti-aging emulsions. It actively neutralizes free radicals, inhibits UV-induced lipid peroxidation, and extends product shelf life naturally. Our material fully complies with European REACH standards.
Across China, Japan, and Southeast Asia, health-conscious consumers drive demand for sugar-free functional drinks. Due to its solubility profile, water-soluble Taxifolin grade is introduced to active anti-glycation and circulatory drinks. Andy Biotech has refined customized, highly soluble powders that resolve sedimentation issues in fluid matrices.
Every batch of Taxifolin manufactured at our facilities undergoes comprehensive validation. Our laboratories are armed with high-precision instruments including HPLC and GC-MS. We guarantee compliance with international standards, delivering complete Certificates of Analysis (CoA) with batch-level traceability.
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 meet your standards as well as our own.

Andy was born in a small village close to the Hanjiang River in Hanzhong, Shaanxi province, China. Thirty years ago, when she was still a little child, she caught a cold, but 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, shredded it 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 herbs all over the world to benefit 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.
We test against the absolute highest botanical production guidelines globally to assure compliance.
