Some of the most valued plants in Ayurvedic practice are prized for what grows below the ground. ShriNanda Herbs Pvt. Ltd., an Uttarakhand-based manufacturer of herbal powders, botanical extracts, and phytochemicals, has shone a spotlight on two of them. The company began operations in January 2016 as Himex Naturals Pvt. Ltd. and now runs its manufacturing unit from Dhamola, Bamdeopur, with its registered office in Haldwani, Nainital. Such a company's consumers include firms that manufacture herbal, nutraceutical, and cosmetic products.In the herbal industry, roots can become difficult to distinguish once they are dried, chopped, and powdered. A purchaser might receive one type of plant when they requested another, and the mistake may only become clear when the product hits the shelf or laboratory test results become available. At that point, the cost goes beyond materials. It is recalled stock, lost orders and a brand name that customers start to doubt. ShriNanda Herbs supplies plant-based ingredients to manufacturers who cannot afford that kind of mistake. The Ashwagandha Extract is made using Withania somnifera, which is a plant that has been used in Ayurvedic practice for many years. The second plant, with its root as the focus, is Berberis aristata, known as Daruharidra in Ayurveda. Another key ingredient in the firm's phytochemical list is berberine hydrochloride, which is stated to be obtained from the root of Berberis aristata.
“A dried root does not come with a label. Buyers need a supplier who knows exactly what they're working with, which is why our team includes botanists and scientists. As with ashwagandha and Berberis aristata, and with everything we make, we test in-house and answer questions openly. No brand should have to guess what is inside the ingredient it is paying for,” said a spokesperson for ShriNanda Herbs.
The company holds an AYUSH licence, relevant for businesses working with Ayurvedic ingredients, along with FSSAI, GMP, HACCP, HALAL, STAR-K Kosher, ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 22000:2018 certifications listed on its website. Its catalogue is split into three groups. Conventional products include powders such as ashwagandha, moringa and tulsi. Nutraceuticals and Cosmeceuticals include extracts such as liquorice root, boswellia, and centella asiatica. Phytochemicals include such compounds as curcumin, silymarin, and gingerol. The manufacturing plant uses state-of-the-art equipment that the company constantly maintains and upgrades. Technicians and pharmacists work alongside the scientific staff.
