Arjunic acid dosage

Arjunic acid is a pentacyclic triterpene naturally present in the bark of Terminalia arjuna , a tree emblematic of Ayurvedic medicine. Known for its cardioprotective, hypotensive, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, this compound is used in many formulations aimed at cardiovascular or general well-being.

The dosage of arjunic acid is essential to standardize plant extracts, guarantee their efficacy and ensure rigorous analytical traceability in nutraceutical products.

Why measure arjunic acid?

As part of the valorization of medicinal plants, the dosage of active compounds such as arjunic acid makes it possible to:

• Validate the quality of Terminalia arjuna extracts used as food supplements or in herbal medicine
• Quantify markers of interest to ensure batch reproducibility and stability
• Check compliance with the rates claimed on the labels or technical data sheets
• Strengthening the scientific and marketing arguments for formulations based on standardized natural extracts

The analysis of arjunic acid is particularly required by manufacturers, distributors and design offices involved in the design of products for cardiovascular, detox, or general tonic purposes.

Analytical methods available: HPLC-DAD and LC-MS

YesWeLab offers two reference methods to accurately quantify arjunic acid:

• HPLC-DAD (High Performance Liquid Chromatography with UV/diode array detection): a common method for quality control of standardized plant extracts.
• LC-MS (Liquid Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry): more sensitive and selective technique, suitable for complex matrices or low concentrations.

The methods can be adapted or validated according to internal laboratory standards or customer references, with the possibility of analysis according to Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) on request.

Analyzed matrices

The dosage of arjunic acid applies to different forms of products:

• Dry or hydroalcoholic extracts of Terminalia arjuna
• Plant powders or powdered extracts
• Capsules, tablets or solid dosage forms
• Liquid food supplements or herbal suspensions

The matrix influences sample preparation and the analytical method used. Our experts will assist you in selecting the protocol best suited to your product.

Sectors of application

This analysis is particularly relevant for companies in the following sectors:

• Nutraceuticals (herbal formulations, cardiovascular health, wellness products)
• Traditional herbal medicine (Ayurvedic medicine, modern Ayurvedic formulations)
• Research and development (characterization of new extracts, clinical or preclinical trials)
• Quality control (batching, quality certifications, control upon receipt or release)
