Quercetin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone) is one of the most thoroughly documented dietary flavonoids, renowned for its strong scavenging action against reactive oxygen species (ROS) and its ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation. Extracted primarily from high-yield botanical resources such as Sophora japonica, Quercetin acts as a natural senolytic agent, supporting cardiovascular tone, respiratory health, and normal inflammatory modulation.
Dihydroquercetin (also known as Taxifolin or 3,5,7,3',4'-pentahydroxyflavanone) is the reduced counterpart of Quercetin. Lacking the C2-C3 double bond in the C-ring, Taxifolin features two chiral centers, giving it unique stereo-isomeric properties. This minor structural distinction significantly alters its physical characteristics, making Dihydroquercetin far more water-soluble and biologically available than traditional Quercetin, while remaining remarkably stable against oxidation under typical formulation environments.

| Molecular Formula | C15H10O7 | C15H12O7 |
| Water Solubility | Extremely Low (<0.01 g/L) | Moderate to High (~1.2 g/L at 25°C) |
| Primary Raw Material | Sophora japonica buds | Larch wood (Larix gmelinii / sibirica) |
| Antioxidant Index (ORAC) | Baseline Standard | Up to 3-4x Higher in lipid phases |
How we are advancing flavonoid bioavailability, stability, and therapeutic delivery systems.
By leveraging lipid-based delivery vehicles and cyclodextrin complexation, our R&D team has successfully bypassed the poor gut absorption typically associated with raw Quercetin, increasing systemic bio-absorption profiles by over 500% in pre-clinical studies.
We are piloting enzymatic glycosylation pathways that attach glucose moieties to the Dihydroquercetin backbone. This yields highly soluble derivatives that remain completely clear in functional beverages without precipitating out over time.
Our long-term development roadmap focuses on zero-emission solvent recovery cycles. By moving towards pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE), we eliminate traditional organic residues, aligning with global organic requirements.
Andy Biotech: Your Trusted Partner in Plant Extract Solutions
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.
Exceeding international regulatory baselines through certified laboratory oversight and custom blending.
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 to the food, health, and nutraceutical industries.
Deploying targeted flavonoid preparations across highly regulated commercial channels.
Our ultra-pure, low-solvent Dihydroquercetin fulfills USP/EP specifications. Ideal for cardiovascular tablets, cellular rejuvenation capsules, and targeted longevity supplements where bioavailability is a key KPI.
With unmatched anti-glycation properties, Dihydroquercetin acts as a powerful topical active. It stabilizes delicate skin formulations, prevents collagen breakdown, and provides natural defense against UV-induced damage.
Our clean-label sweetening substitutes and natural preservatives increase product shelf-life. They prevent fat oxidation in packaged foods while adding active antioxidant benefits to energy and health drinks.
Andy Biotech's production facility leverages advanced automation to maximize yield efficiency and minimize batch-to-batch variation. By implementing real-time SCADA monitoring systems, we track critical parameters like pressure, temperature, and solvent-contact duration during extraction processes.
Located within close reach of abundant raw material source networks in China, our facility enjoys an uninterrupted supply of high-grade botanical inputs. This location reduces long-distance logistics and carbon footprint, giving us a clear cost and supply-chain stability advantage over Western producers.
Furthermore, our factory employs a circular manufacturing approach. Bio-waste from the extraction process is redirected for agricultural composting, creating a zero-waste loop. This practice meets the rigorous sustainability expectations of global B2B buyers.
Andy was born in a small village close to the Hanjiang River in 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 his 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 he 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.
