Liposomal Fenugreek Extract Powder (Herbosomal®) — Bulk B2B Supplier
Liposomal fenugreek extract is a Trigonella foenum-graecum seed extract standardized to 20% 4-Hydroxyisoleucine (4-HIL) — the free amino acid unique to fenugreek seed — encapsulated using Bionutricia’s proprietary Herbosomal® liposomal encapsulation and sustained-release technology (registered trademark; patent-pending PI2023005773). It is a water-soluble, light-yellow powder supplied in bulk for B2B and OEM formulators of food supplements and beverages by Bionutricia Extract (Bionutricia Manufacturing Sdn Bhd), Malaysia — with a Certificate of Analysis on every lot.

What is liposomal fenugreek extract?
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seed contains 4-Hydroxyisoleucine (4-HIL), a free amino acid found almost exclusively in this plant. Bionutricia’s liposomal fenugreek extract is standardized to 20% 4-HIL and then given a liposomal coating — a lipid layer that surrounds the standardized extract — using Bionutricia’s proprietary Herbosomal® encapsulation (registered trademark; patent-pending PI2023005773). The result is a light-yellow, water-soluble powder built as a bulk raw material for supplement and beverage manufacturers, distinct from Bionutricia’s standard 100:1 sapogenin-standardized fenugreek extract, which targets a different marker compound for culinary and traditional-wellness formulations.
What is Herbosomal® encapsulation?
Herbosomal® is Bionutricia’s proprietary liposomal encapsulation and sustained-release technology (registered trademark; patent-pending PI2023005773) — Bionutricia is the only Malaysian botanical-extract manufacturer holding this liposomal encapsulation IP. The same platform is applied across the liposomal ingredient range, including liposomal vitamin C, liposomal B complex and liposomal collagen peptide. For formulators, liposomal encapsulation is a delivery format decision: it changes how the active is carried and dispersed in the finished product.
What is it used for in formulation?
Liposomal fenugreek extract is used as a raw ingredient in food supplements and beverages — supplement blends, functional and ready-to-drink beverages, and single-serve sachets — where a liposomal delivery format and a 4-HIL-specific standardization are wanted. It is soluble in water. Bionutricia supplies the bulk ingredient for B2B formulation; brand owners and manufacturers formulate it into their chosen finished format.

Frequently asked questions
Is it halal certified? Yes — JAKIM Halal (verifiable on the Halal Malaysia portal), plus FSSC 22000, US FDA registered, GMP, HACCP, MeSTI, NanoVerify; COA per lot.
What is 4-Hydroxyisoleucine (4-HIL) and what is this extract standardized to? 4-HIL is a free amino acid found almost exclusively in fenugreek seed. This liposomal extract is standardized to 20% 4-HIL, confirmed by COA per lot.
What is the typical serving size? Standardised fenugreek seed extract has been used in clinical studies at around 300–600 mg per serving, once to twice daily. Final per-serving dosing is set by the brand owner for the finished product; the 20% 4-HIL content is confirmed by Certificate of Analysis per lot.
