Bespoke Extracts, Organic Herbs, and Lab Tested Chinese Herbs Also Highlighted at SupplySide West in Booth # 7228

Nuherbs, the leading TCM ingredients supplier, will launch a new growing partnership focused on Organic Mexican Hibiscus at SupplySide West in Las Vegas November 2 -3, 2022.  Nuherbs vertical integration of its organic hibiscus ingredients sets this project apart.  It is designed to avoid the supply chain vulnerabilities inherent in obtaining most hibiscus raw material, while reducing the carbon footprint   of this botanical for North American users.

Nuherbs Organic hibiscus is available in multiple forms:  whole flower (TBC, C/S, & powder), Phytohib™ liquid, and Phytohib™ powder extract.  The CleanBrew ™ extraction process is used to produce Nuherbs organic PhytoHib™ 45 Brix Hibiscus liquid extract and organic PhytoHib™100 hibiscus powder extract, so there are no solvent residues. PhytoHib ™100 doesn’t have any carriers, it’s just hibiscus extract.

The supply chain for Nuherbs’ hibiscus products is vertically integrated, and the growing source is purposely close to the US.   “Most of the hibiscus on the market is from Sudan and Nigeria, and is shipped from Africa to Egypt or Europe for further processing, and then on to US,’ said Nuherbs President Wilson Lau. “The disruption of the past few years from unanticipated events was the motivation for building the supply chain for this product closer to home. This also profoundly lowers the carbon footprint of the product for our customers in the North American market.”

Nuherbs also offers Organic and lab tested Chinese herbs that are sustainably-sourced, pharmacopeia-grade, and geo-authentic. Each lot is tested for identity, pesticide residues, heavy metals, and micro bacteria. Nuherbs provides standardized extracts that can be tailored to type of solvents, carriers, etc. to produce ingredients fit for customers’ specific needs. Nuherbs R&D capabilities can go beyond just choosing the parameters of the solvent and carriers to solving technical challenges faced by clients, such as solubility variables needed for different delivery formats to satisfy product trends.

Examples of technical challenges this Bespoke process can solve are illustrated by NuTraditions Hello Dreams ™ sleep Strips with Melatonin & Calm Down™ TCM herbal blend in fast-acting, individually wrapped strips, demonstrating the ability to deliver a recommended dose in a small footprint. Good Morning Sunshine™ Coffee, in recyclable pods, which contains fair trade coffee infused with the right amount of Organic Red Ginseng, which showcases Nuherbs’ R&D capabilities.

Also at SupplySide West, Wilson be on a panel with other industry leaders discussing Supply chain strain causes business interruption on Friday November 4th from 9:00 am  – 12:00 Pm in Islander Ballroom H.
