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

Snakehead Fish Extract (Channa striata): 3 Studies and Product Opportunities

Snakehead fish has long been consumed in Southeast Asia to support recovery after surgery and childbirth. Its albumin content is the main attraction. Clinical research is starting to appear, some of it from Indonesia, but it is small in number and the results are not yet uniform.

Study 1 · Systematic review Supporting evidence

Nutritional composition and action mechanism of Channa striata meat in wound healing: A systematic review.

Hapsari, Tjandrawinata Narra J, 2025.

Study design: Systematic review of 22 studies (10 biochemical composition studies, 9 preclinical studies, and 4 clinical trials) on the nutritional content of snakehead fish flesh and its role in wound recovery.

Key findings
  • Snakehead fish extract contains 0.76 to 10.73 g/100 g of albumin.
  • It is rich in amino acids, especially glutamic acid, arginine, and glycine, as well as fatty acids and minerals such as zinc and copper.
  • Clinical trials in patients after cesarean section reported improved wound healing scores and reduced pain.
  • The authors stress that the number of clinical trials is still limited and larger studies are needed.

What it means for your product: The main reference for the ingredient's nutritional profile. The wide albumin range shows the importance of a CoA for albumin content per batch.

Study 2 · Clinical study Strong evidence

Improvement of Nutritional Status among Tuberculosis Patients by Channa striata Supplementation: A True Experimental Study in Indonesia.

Ma'rufi, Ali, Jati, et al. BioMed research international, 2020.

Study design: Randomized experimental study with a control group in 200 tuberculosis patients in Indonesia. Body mass index (BMI) was measured weekly for one month.

Key findings
  • Mean BMI in the snakehead group rose from 17.43 to 18.22 kg/m2 in 4 weeks.
  • BMI in the control group rose from 17.20 to 17.96 kg/m2.
  • Statistically there was no difference in BMI between the two groups, although the change in nutritional status was faster in the snakehead group.
  • There was no difference in health status between groups, except for vomiting.

What it means for your product: Supports positioning snakehead fish as a complementary protein source for nutrition. Because the difference was not significant, do not turn it into a weight gain claim.

Study 3 · Randomized controlled trial (RCT) Strong evidence

Effect of Channa striata Extract Supplementation on Febrile Neutropenia in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Setiawan, Pangarsa, Santosa, et al. Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2024.

Study design: Single-blind randomized clinical trial in 32 patients with acute myeloid leukemia undergoing chemotherapy. Snakehead fish extract 6 g per day compared with standard hospital nutrition.

Key findings
  • Snakehead fish extract did not affect the time to onset of neutropenia, its duration, or neutrophil function.
  • The duration of neutropenia was 12.8 days in the snakehead group and 17.2 days in the control group, but this was not significant.
  • The incidence of febrile neutropenia was 85.7 percent in the snakehead group and 43.8 percent in the control group.

What it means for your product: This negative result shows that snakehead fish extract is not a substitute for medical therapy. Products for patients with serious illness must involve consultation with a doctor.

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 snakehead fish extract (Channa striata) with albumin as a marker.
  • Snakehead fish contains albumin, amino acids, and minerals such as zinc (cite the source).
  • Snakehead fish is traditionally consumed in Southeast Asia during recovery periods.

Avoid

  • Heals surgical wounds, speeds tuberculosis recovery, or treats cancer.
  • Raises blood albumin levels or body weight, unless the claim is approved by BPOM.
  • Can replace medical therapy or is safe for chemotherapy patients without a doctor's supervision.

The clinical trials used snakehead fish extracts with differing formulas; the albumin content of the ingredient can vary widely, so request a CoA per batch. Consumers with fish allergies need a warning on the label. BBK snakehead fish extract is halal certified.

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.
