Turkesterone Powder (Ajuga turkestanica Extract) is a standardized botanical phytoecdysteroid raw material manufactured by Shaanxi Rainwood Biotech Co., Ltd. Formulated for sports nutrition, strength athletic formulas, and lean muscle mass acceleration, it is standardized for high-potency Turkesterone (2%~10% HPLC) and 20-Hydroxyecdysone with certified clean-label compliance, ultra-low heavy metals (≤10 ppm by ICP-MS), and zero harmful Class 1 & 2 solvent residues (USP <467> Class 3).
Extracted exclusively from authentic aerial parts of wild-harvested Central Asian Ajuga turkestanica, Rainwood Biotech employs low-temperature hydro-ethanolic extraction combined with specialized resin purification to enrich active Turkesterone (CAS: 41451-87-0) alongside natural synergistic ecdysteroids including 20-Hydroxyecdysone, Cyasterone, and Ajugasterone C.
