Great Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) Leaf Extract

This botanical extract is a standardized solid extract obtained from the leaves of Verbascum thapsus L., commonly known as great mullein or common mullein. This biennial herbaceous plant belongs to the Scrophulariaceae family and is native to the Mediterranean area, where it is recognized for its hardiness and resilience across varied growing conditions.

As a standardized extract, the ingredient offers formulators a consistent, well-characterized raw material batch after batch, quantified by HPLC for its content of verbascoside and derivatives (9-11% w/w), an important criterion for nutraceutical applications where reproducibility and traceability are essential. It is GMO-free, moderately soluble in water, and has a shelf life of 24 months, making it suitable for storage and integration into a variety of dosage forms, including capsules and powdered blends.

Falling within the Botanical/Plant Extracts category, this great mullein leaf extract is positioned as a naturally sourced, single-plant botanical ingredient for manufacturers seeking a well-documented, traceable raw material for their nutraceutical formulations, particularly within the joint comfort, muscle recovery, and active lifestyle segments.
