Poria cocos extract is a standardized herbal ingredient derived from the sclerotium of Poria cocos, primarily processed via hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation. The core bioactive constituents include triterpenoids such as poricoic acid. While the specific molecular formula varies by fraction, the CAS number for the generic extract is typically unassigned; individual compounds like pachymic acid (CAS 516-48-9) are key markers.
Storage requires cool, dry conditions below 25°C to prevent microbial growth. Clinical use should be monitored in patients with renal impairment due to diuretic effects. Ensure compliance with GMP standards during manufacturing to avoid heavy metal contamination.
