What is hempedu bumi extract powder?
Hempedu bumi (Andrographis paniculata), known in English as the “King of Bitters”, is a herb widely grown across South and South-East Asia and long used in the region’s herbal traditions, where its intensely bitter leaf is brewed as a traditional tonic. Bionutricia’s hempedu bumi extract powder is a 100:1 extract of the leaf, concentrated and dried into a stable, water-soluble greenish-brown powder that carries andrographolide — the plant’s characteristic marker compound — giving formulators a consistent, easy-to-handle raw material in place of variable dried-leaf inputs.
What is it used for in formulation?
It is used as a bulk raw ingredient across several categories: herbal supplement premixes and sachet blends produced by brand owners, traditional-herbal teas and instant drink powders, functional beverages, and other functional-food formats. Hempedu bumi has a long heritage of traditional use as a bitter tonic herb in South-East Asian herbal preparations, which supports its positioning in heritage-botanical and traditional-wellness products. The powder is water-soluble and typically dosed at 200–500 mg per serving, adjusted to the target format.
