三、Dual-Specification Series and Comparison GuideTo perfectly meet the multifaceted R&D needs of B2B clients in areas such as formulation development, formulation synergy, and cost control, Aidu Biotech, leveraging its in-depth, targeted development of natural dew grass, maintains a stock of two mainstream concentrations: 10% and 90%. / Comparison Table for R&D Selection Between 10% and 90% Concentrations:
Evaluation CriteriaEcdysterone 10% / Ecdysterone 90%
R&D Recommendations and Selection Guidelines for B-End
Appearance and PurityFine, brownish-yellow powder / Pale yellow to white crystalline powder / The 90% grade offers high purity and a pure color, making it more suitable for capsules and tablets where space is limited.
Water Solubility and Dispersibility
Excellent; naturally fully dispersed
Highly crystalline, prone to agglomeration, and slow to disperseThe 10% formulation is better suited for RTD beverages and oral solutions; the 90% formulation offers customized micronization
Flavor and Masking Properties
Features a natural herbal flavor with a slight bitterness
Virtually no grassy odor and extremely low bitternessThe 90% concentration significantly reduces the difficulty of flavoring gummies and instant drinks, making it suitable for finished products with high taste standards.
Top Recommended Formulations
Sports powders, ready-to-drink beverages, energy bars
Anti-aging capsules, muscle-building tablets, gummies10% suitable for mass-market liquid/powdered foods; 90% suitable for high-end solid supplements.
Product Selection Guidelines
Focus on high value for money and all-plant formulations
Focus on targeted efficacy and premium anti-aging positioning
Tailored to your needs, balancing three key requirements: product positioning, efficacy benefits, and budget

04Product Process & Advantages

% Plant-Based

Clean Label

Made from carefully selected natural dew grass, free from synthetic steroids and animal-derived ingredients, vegan-friendly, and compliant with international clean label standards.

Green Extraction Process

Extracted using purified water and pharmaceutical-grade ethanol, with no toxic solvents used throughout the process. The 90% high-purity product uses only food-grade solvents, with ethanol residue ≤5000 ppm, meeting EP and USP international standards.

Stringent Quality Control

Each batch is rigorously tested for heavy metals, microorganisms, phthalates, pesticide residues, and aflatoxins, ensuring quality that meets global dietary supplement market entry requirements.

cGMP-Compliant Production

Produced in cGMP-standardized facilities, we provide a full suite of export documentation—including CoA, MSDS, non-GMO certification, allergen-free certification, and TSE/BSE-free certification—to support global audits.

05Product Functions & Mechanisms

Activation of Protein Synthesis (Protein Synthesis Support)

Specifically regulates the estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) signaling pathway to promote skeletal muscle synthesis without interfering with the body’s own androgens or causing non-steroidal side effects. During aging or periods of caloric deficit (such as during GLP-1-induced weight control), it precisely preserves lean body mass.

Calorie Restriction Mimic Effect (Metabolic Optimization)

Possesses characteristics of a calorie restriction mimetic (CRM). Helps optimize intracellular glucose transport and fatty acid metabolism, protects mitochondrial function, and effectively addresses the decline in basal metabolic rate (metabolic slowdown) caused by weight management or aging.

Accelerated Muscle Remodeling and Recovery (Regeneration & Recovery)

Positively regulates the activity of skeletal muscle satellite cells (muscle stem cells) to accelerate muscle fiber self-repair. Balances muscle oxidative stress caused by intense exercise or aging, and delays exercise-induced fatigue.

Bone-Muscle Synergy for Enhanced Mobility (Bone & Joint Mobility)

Positively regulates osteoblasts to support healthy cartilage matrix. Through a dual-target “bone-muscle integration” approach, it strengthens joint and muscle resilience from the inside out, comprehensively empowering mobility and vitality throughout the entire life cycle.

06Applications

  • Weight Management and Lean Muscle Preservation Formula (GLP-1 Companion)
  • Preferred: 90% high-purity grade (recommended 50–100 mg/serving). Suitable for premium weight management and lean body mass preservation supplements. Can be blended with whey protein, HMB-Ca, creatine, or essential amino acids (EAAs) to synergistically preserve muscle mass through multiple pathways.
  • Healthy Aging & Mobility Support
  • Recommended 90% high-purity grade or 10% standard grade (recommended 50–200 mg/serving). Suitable for vitality capsules, health gummies, and joint repair powders for middle-aged and elderly adults, enhancing muscle and bone resilience from the inside out.
  • New Functional Foods and Ready-to-Drink (RTD) Beverages
  • The preferred choice is the 10% natural, highly water-soluble formulation. This effectively addresses the common issue of high-purity crystals precipitating or settling in liquid formulations, ensuring clarity and flavor balance in sports energy drinks, body-shaping oral solutions, and dietary fiber powders.
  • 七、Formulation Considerations
  • Lean Mass Protector Formula
  • Core Blend: Ecdysterone (90% purity) + HMB-Ca + Resveratrol + High-Quality Animal and Plant Proteins
  • Recommended Formulations: Meal Replacement Powder / Lean Mass Protector Capsules / Weight Management Companion Nutritional Drink
  • Development Advantages: During calorie deficits or medication-assisted weight management, this formula uses multi-pathway synergy to preserve muscle mass. It effectively maintains basal metabolic rate, preventing muscle loss and skin sagging caused by rapid weight loss.
  • Mobility & Active Longevity Formula
  • Core Combination: Ecdysterone (10% or 90% concentration) + Glucosamine/UC-II + Quercetin + Vitamin D3/K2
  • Recommended Formulations: Senior Vitality Capsules / Joint & Muscle Repair Powder / Functional Tablets
  • Development Advantages: Implements the cutting-edge “musculoskeletal integration” strategy. Ecdysterone supports skeletal muscle strength, while Type II collagen and Vitamins D3/K2 nourish joint cartilage and bone. This dual-pronged approach enhances mobility throughout the entire life cycle, empowering healthspan.

07Packaging & Storage

  • Packaging specifications: Standard 25 kg cardboard drums (lined with double-layer moisture-proof PE bags); custom small-volume packaging for pilot testing and R&D is available.
  • Storage conditions: Keep tightly sealed and store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from light, heat, and moisture.
  • Shelf life: 24 months.
