Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I request a sample before committing to a bulk order?

Absolutely — the 100g size on this page is our standard sample tier. Many B2B customers begin with 100g for formulation development, progress to 500g–1kg for pilot batches, and scale to 5kg+ for full production. COA is issued on every size, including samples.

2. What are the available origin options?

This product can be sourced from: India. Specify your origin preference during order confirmation — each origin may have slight variation in active profile and seasonality, which we can discuss against your formulation targets.

3. What is the shelf life and how should it be stored?

Shelf life is 24 months from manufacture date in sealed original packaging. Store in a cool, dry, dark environment below 25°C, away from direct sunlight, humidity, and strong odors. Once opened, reseal the inner LDPE liner immediately and use within guidelines specified on the TDS. Powder form has good stability under recommended conditions.

4. Is this L-DOPA suitable for my application?

This extract is widely used in pharma-grade applications. For regulatory-sensitive applications (e.g., EU CPNP cosmetic dossiers, US nutraceutical structure-function claims, FDA-registered food applications), we provide supplementary dossier-support documents on request.

5. What documents are included with each order?

Every order ships digitally with: Certificate of Analysis (COA), Technical Data Sheet (TDS), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), heavy-metals report, microbial report, and pesticide residue report. Kosher, Halal, and organic certifications are available for qualifying batches on request.

6. How is L-DOPA 98% tested for heavy metals?

Heavy metals (Pb, As, Cd, Hg) are tested on every production batch by ICP-MS. Results are guaranteed to fall below California Prop 65 limits and EU Regulation 1881/2006 contaminant thresholds. The heavy-metals report is included in the digital document package.
