Cyanotis arachnoides Extract Powder
Standardized to 90–95% Ecdysterone (20-Hydroxyecdysone) by HPLC
Cyanotis arachnoidea Root Extract is a high-purity botanical ingredient standardized for ecdysterone, also known as 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) or beta-ecdysterone. It is supplied as a fine powder for qualified B2B customers developing dietary supplements, sports-nutrition products, and other applications permitted in their intended market.
This product page describes an ingredient, not a finished consumer product. Claims, dosage, labeling, and market access remain the responsibility of the finished-product brand and must be reviewed for the destination market.
Main Components
Flavonoids:
These natural compounds have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
Triterpenoids:
Known for their anti-inflammatory effects, triterpenoids may also support overall immune health and promote tissue healing.
Phenolic Compounds:
These compounds contribute to the plant’s antioxidant capacity, helping neutralize free radicals and prevent cell damage.
Saponins:
Saponins are believed to contribute to the extract’s anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, which may support general well-being and skin health.

Health Benefits of Cyanotis arachnoides Extract:
Anti-inflammatory Effects:
The extract is widely known for its ability to reduce inflammation, making it useful for treating conditions like arthritis, skin irritation, and other inflammatory issues.
Antioxidant Protection:
With a high content of flavonoids and phenolic compounds, it provides protection against oxidative damage, supporting overall health and preventing premature aging.
Skin Health:
Cyanotis arachnoides is often used in cosmetics for its soothing and calming effects on the skin. It helps reduce redness, irritation, and inflammation, making it ideal for sensitive or inflamed skin.
Supports Immune Health:
Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties also help strengthen the immune system by reducing harmful oxidative stress and supporting the body’s natural defenses.
Potential Weight Management Benefits:
Some studies suggest that the extract may help regulate fat metabolism, contributing to weight management and promoting overall health.
Quality Control That Supports Your Approval Process
Commercial Cyanotis arachnoidea extracts can contain a complex profile of phytoecdysteroids. Published LC-MS/MS research has shown that industrial processing may affect this profile. That is why Green Life Herb recommends approval against an agreed, written specification and current batch data—not against generic marketing language.

Evidence-Based Ingredient Positioning
Ecdysterone is also called 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E), a phytoecdysteroid found in certain plants. Cyanotis arachnoidea is recognized in analytical literature as an ecdysteroid-rich botanical source.
What the research supports—and what it does not:
- In a 2016 study, researchers at the University of Szeged and collaborating institutions analyzed ecdysteroid-containing food supplements sold in Europe. They identified Cyanotis arachnoidea as a high-content botanical source and demonstrated the importance of analytical authentication, because products marketed as spinach-derived ecdysteroids could contain Cyanotis-derived material instead. This supports a quality-control and traceability message—not a consumer-health claim. Hunyadi et al., Scientific Reports, 2016
- In a 2019, 10-week resistance-training intervention involving 46 young men, researchers affiliated with the German Sport University Cologne and anti-doping laboratories reported higher gains in selected muscle-mass and strength measures in ecdysterone-supplemented groups than in controls. This study supports scientific interest in ecdysterone for sports-nutrition research; it does not prove that every Cyanotis extract, dosage, user group, or finished formula will produce the same result. Isenmann et al., Archives of Toxicology, 2019
- A 2023 randomized Phase 1 study evaluated purified 20-hydroxyecdysone in healthy younger and older adults. The investigational material was purified to at least 97% from a Cyanotis species extract. The study assessed safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics under controlled clinical conditions. It should not be presented as a general safety guarantee for all commercial Cyanotis arachnoidea extracts. Béranger et al., Clinical and Translational Science, 2023
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the active marker in this Cyanotis extract?
The marker compound is ecdysterone, also known as 20-hydroxyecdysone or 20E. This product is standardized to 90.0%–95.0% ecdysterone by HPLC-UV.
2. Is “Cyanotis arachnoides” the same ingredient?
It is commonly used in commercial searches, but the correct botanical name is Cyanotis arachnoidea C.B.Clarke. Use the accepted name in technical documents, COAs, labels, and regulatory files.
3. Can Green Life Herb provide an HPLC chromatogram?
Yes. A current-lot HPLC chromatogram and assay information can be provided to qualified buyers as part of the technical documentation package.
4. Which quality documents can be supplied?
Depending on the agreed specification and qualification process, documents may include COA, SDS, technical data sheet, assay chromatogram, heavy-metal and microbiological results, pesticide and residual-solvent results, allergen/GMO statements, and manufacturing-flow information.
5. Can you meet a custom specification?
Please share the required ecdysterone assay, particle size, contaminant limits, packaging, destination market, and forecast volume. Green Life Herb will assess feasibility against the material and available quality-control program.
6. Is this ingredient suitable for dietary supplements in all markets?
No. Market access depends on the destination country, dosage, intended use, and applicable food-supplement or novel-food rules. Buyers should complete regulatory review before launch.
