Grade comparison: saw palmetto extract
| Your requirement | Grade to specify | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You need a powder | 45% Fatty Acids | Supplied as a powder for solid dosage forms |
| You need the highest declared fatty acid content | 85% Fatty Acids Oil | Supplied as an oil — confirm your process handles a liquid |
| You need a lower-declared fruit extract | 25% Fruit Extract | Lower declared level at a lower cost per kilogram |
| You are comparing the oil against the powders | Do not compare on appearance | The oil and the powders are different physical forms with different handling requirements |
In short: LongBio supplies saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) fruit extracts in three forms — 25% and 45% fatty acid powders and an 85% fatty acid oil. The oil grade is handled and quoted separately from the powder grades.

Buyer Decision Guide
Select the product form first. The 85% oil grade is suited to oil-compatible systems, while powder grades require separate evaluation for dry formulations. Confirm fatty-acid method and batch evidence.
- Shortlist the required product form and target specification.
- Compare the current COA method, limits and batch results.
- Test the sample in the intended formulation.
- Approve the order specification, packing and destination-market documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose a saw palmetto extract grade?
Select the product form first. The 85% oil grade is suited to oil-compatible systems, while powder grades require separate evaluation for dry formulations. Confirm fatty-acid method and batch evidence.
Can I compare the current batch COAs before ordering?
Yes. Request the applicable current or representative COA for each shortlisted grade and compare product identity, method, limits and results.
Are different ratios or assay percentages interchangeable?
No. Ratio extracts and standardised assay grades represent different purchasing specifications and should be qualified separately.
Can I request samples for formulation testing?
Yes. Provide the target grade, application, destination market and expected volume so sample availability can be confirmed.
What should be included in a quotation request?
Send the product grade, analytical limits, quantity, packing, destination, application and any required compliance documents.
Does website information replace the shipment COA?
No. The approved order specification and shipment-batch COA remain the controlling quality records.
Can specifications or packaging be customised?
Selected analytical limits, particle properties and packing may be reviewed case by case before quotation.
The 85% grade is an oil and the others are powders — can I substitute one for the other?
No. The 85% fatty acid grade is supplied as an oil while the 45% grade is a powder and the 25% grade is a fruit extract, so they behave differently in handling, blending and filling. The oil suits oil-compatible systems and the powders suit dry formulations. Select the physical form your process can actually handle before comparing declared contents.
