  • Marker standardisation — picroside I plus II at 5–10% by HPLC is the commercial specification. Confirm whether your specification is written against combined picrosides or against picroside I alone, as the two are quoted differently.
  • Kutkin-standardised grade — available where a specification references kutkin rather than the individual picrosides.
  • Full-spectrum grade — supplied where a formulator wants the unfractionated extract rather than a marker-standardised one; assay basis differs, so the two are not comparable on price per kilo.
  • Water-soluble options — available on request, relevant for beverage and liquid formats where the standard powder would not carry.
  • Botanical identity — supplied against a Picrorhiza kurroa rhizome declaration, with identity confirmed on the certificate of analysis.
  • Organic grade — available on request and quoted against buyer specification.
  • Physical handling — light brown to pale yellow fine powder at 40–80 mesh, blending predictably in capsule and tablet formats. Moisture NMT 5%.
  • Documentation — each batch ships with a CoA covering picroside content by HPLC, heavy metals at NMT 10 ppm, moisture at NMT 5%, microbial limits and botanical identity.

Kutki Extract — Frequently Asked Questions

What grades of Kutki extract does SV Botanica supply?

Extract standardised for picroside I plus II at 5–10% by HPLC as the commercial specification, a kutkin-standardised grade, a full-spectrum extract, and an organic grade available on request.

What is the marker compound and how is it assayed?

Picrosides I and II, iridoid glycosides of the Picrorhiza kurroa rhizome, assayed by HPLC. Confirm whether your specification is written against combined picrosides or picroside I alone, as the two are quoted differently.

What is the difference between the picroside-standardised and kutkin grades?

Kutkin is the crude bitter glycoside fraction; the picroside grade is standardised on the two individual glycosides. Specify whichever your finished-product specification references — the assay bases are not interchangeable.

What is the botanical source?

Picrorhiza kurroa rhizome, with botanical identity confirmed on the Certificate of Analysis.

What are the physical specifications?

Light brown to pale yellow fine powder at 40–80 mesh. Moisture NMT 5%. Heavy metals NMT 10 ppm. Shelf life 24–36 months in sealed, cool, dry storage.

Is a water-soluble grade available?

Yes — water-soluble options are available on request, relevant for beverage and liquid formats where the standard powder would not carry.

What documentation ships with an order?

A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis covering picroside content by HPLC, heavy metals, moisture and microbial limits, plus MSDS and specification sheet. Documentation is available at the sample stage.

Is organic Kutki extract available?

An organic grade is available on request and quoted against buyer specification.

How are pricing, MOQ and lead time quoted?

Against your specification and volume. Standardisation basis, grade and pack size all move the price, so state which assay basis your specification uses at enquiry.
