Simplisia vs Super Hydro™: extraction separates active compounds from fibre and starch

Super Hydro™ is an extraction method developed by BBK's extract manufacturing team. It draws out the active compounds of natural materials more effectively at a lower concentration. Based on our internal testing, a Super Hydro™ extract at a 2:1 ratio delivers performance comparable to a 5:1 extract from non-standardised producers.

Patent status: The Super Hydro™ method is currently patent pending. Even so, every BBK extract has been produced with this method from the start, so each batch you receive meets a quality standard above the market average.

Research & product opportunities

Spinach Extract (Amaranthus spp.): 3 Studies and Product Opportunities

Green spinach (bayam) in Indonesia is generally Amaranthus, which differs from European spinach (Spinacia oleracea). There are two randomized trials in humans for Amaranthus, and the results are not always positive. Another study provides important data on oxalate, calcium, and magnesium.

Study 1 · Randomized controlled trial (RCT) Strong evidence

Effect of African leafy vegetables on the micronutrient status of mildly deficient farm-school children in South Africa: a randomized controlled study.

van der Hoeven, Faber, Osei, et al. Public health nutrition, 2016.

Study design: Randomized controlled trial in children aged 6 to 12 at two farm schools in South Africa. The intervention group (n 86) received 300 g of cooked African leafy vegetables, at least 80% Amaranthus cruentus, five times a week for three months; the control group (n 81) received regular school meals.

Key findings
  • One serving of the cooked vegetables provided 11.6 to 15.8 mg of iron and 1.4 to 3.7 mg of zinc.
  • At baseline, deficiencies in the intervention group were generally mild, except for zinc (75.6% of children were zinc deficient).
  • No significant effects were found on hemoglobin, serum ferritin, serum retinol, or serum zinc.
  • The authors concluded that the vegetable did not improve nutritional status when deficiencies were mild.

What it means for your product: Amaranthus leaves are indeed a dietary source of iron and zinc, but this study showed no improvement in blood iron status. It is important to refrain from blood-building claims.

Study 2 · Randomized controlled trial (RCT) Strong evidence

Amaranthus Extract Promotes Healthy Follicles and Anagen Hair Density-A Randomized Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blinded Study.

V, Suhag Journal of integrative and complementary medicine, 2025.

Study design: Double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial in 50 men aged 25 to 45 with male pattern baldness. About 2 g of Amaranthus extract cream applied every night for 90 days.

Key findings
  • Terminal hair density rose by 28% from baseline, compared with 15% with placebo.
  • Anagen-phase hair count and density rose by 54%, compared with 17.5% with placebo.
  • The pilary index rose by 25%, compared with 7.3% with placebo.
  • No side effects were recorded.

What it means for your product: Opens opportunities for hair care cosmetics made with Amaranthus. What was tested was a topical cream, not oral intake.

Journal DOIPubMed 40765496
Study 3 · Laboratory study (in vitro) Early evidence

Oxalate in grain amaranth.

Gélinas, Seguin Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 2007.

Study design: Analysis of oxalate, calcium, and magnesium levels in the seeds of 30 grain amaranth genotypes (A. cruentus, A. hybrid, A. hypochondriacus) from field trials, including the effects of fertilization, planting time, and boiling.

Key findings
  • Average total oxalate was 229 mg/100 g (range 178 to 278 mg/100 g), mostly (an average of 80%) in insoluble form.
  • Calcium averaged 186 mg/100 g and magnesium averaged 280 mg/100 g.
  • Boiling raised the proportion of soluble oxalate but did not change total oxalate.
  • The authors called amaranth a high source of oxalate, but its absorption may be low; this needs confirmation through bioavailability studies.

What it means for your product: Baseline data for the nutrition label and safety section: Amaranthus is rich in calcium and magnesium, but also in oxalate. This study used seeds, not leaves.

Claims you can make

Language guide for B2B and educational materials. Claims on finished product labels and ads must be the ones approved by BPOM at registration.

OK to say

  • Contains spinach (Amaranthus spp.) extract.
  • Amaranthus leafy vegetables have been studied as a source of iron and zinc in a school feeding program (cite the source).
  • Spinach is a widely known local vegetable in Indonesia.

Avoid

  • Treats anemia or builds blood. The trial in children above found no improvement in hemoglobin or ferritin.
  • Grows hair or treats baldness.
  • Safe for people with kidney stones or free of heavy metals, without per-batch test data.

Human evidence for Amaranthus is still scarce: the nutrition trial in children was neutral, and the hair trial used a topical cream, not oral intake. The oxalate data come from amaranth seeds, not spinach leaves. Amaranthus contains oxalate and nitrate and can absorb heavy metals from soil, so request a CoA for iron content and heavy metal contaminant testing per batch.

Using this research for BPOM registration

  1. Add the three journals above to the literature review or the safety and benefit supporting data in your product dossier.
  2. Attach BBK's specification and per-batch CoA as raw material quality data. The specification always ships with the order; CoA is available on request.
  3. Match your serving size to the doses used in the studies, then confirm final claims with a regulatory consultant or BPOM.

The studies above were not done with BBK products. BBK extracts are made with the Super Hydro™ method, but study results do not automatically apply to your finished product.
