Piper methysticum extract

Piper methysticum extract (CAS 84696-40-2 ), derived from the kava plant native to the Pacific Islands, is a standardized botanical extract used commercially for its kavalactone content. It appears in food, nutraceutical, and personal care formulations where a plant-based functional ingredient with recognized ethnobotanical heritage is required for specific product applications. In the nutraceutical and dietary supplement sector, kava extract is incorporated into capsules, tablets, and functional beverages targeting relaxation and stress-management positioning for consumers. Food and beverage manufacturers use it as a flavoring ingredient in specialty drinks, including ready-to-drink kava beverages that have gained significant commercial traction in Western markets recently. Personal care formulators incorporate the extract into topical products where botanical actives with Pacific origin stories support premium branding and unique marketing narratives for skincare lines. Pharmaceutical-grade preparations use standardized kavalactone concentrations to meet defined potency requirements for finished dosage forms, ensuring consistency across various manufacturing batches and production cycles. Piper methysticum extract is supplied as a dry powder or liquid extract, with dry forms being the most common for supplement and food manufacturing due to their stability and ease of handling. Standardized grades are available specifying kavalactone content, typically expressed as a percentage. Both food-grade and technical-grade specifications are available depending on the intended end-use market. Contact us for supply of Piper methysticum extract Request Quote
