African Potato Extract
African Potato Extract is derived from the plant Hypoxis hemerocallidea, a medicinal plant native to southern Africa. It is commonly used in traditional African medicine for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-boosting properties. The active compound in the extract is hypoxoside, which is converted in the body to rooperol, a potent antioxidant. African Potato Extract is often used as a complementary treatment for conditions like arthritis, prostate issues, and certain infections, though scientific evidence on its effectiveness is still limited.
Aluminum Fine Powder
Aluminum fine powder consists of finely divided aluminum particles, typically metallic and silvery-white in appearance. It is produced by atomization or grinding of bulk aluminum and is valued for its high surface area, excellent conductivity, and lightweight metallic properties. Aluminum fine powder is extensively used in various industrial applications including metallurgy, pyrotechnics, coatings, additive manufacturing, and as a pigment. Due to its reactivity, it requires careful handling and storage. Its fine particulate nature makes it particularly useful where rapid oxidation or reaction is desired, such as in explosives or energetic materials. It is also employed in the manufacturing of paints, inks, and cosmetics to impart metallic luster.
Amprolium HCL
Amprolium Hydrochloride is a white, odorless, crystalline powder used primarily as a coccidiostat, which means it inhibits the growth of Eimeria species (protozoan parasites) responsible for coccidiosis in poultry and other animals. It works by mimicking thiamine (vitamin B1), thereby competitively inhibiting thiamine uptake by the parasite, disrupting its metabolism, and preventing its proliferation. Amprolium HCl is widely used in veterinary medicine, especially in poultry farming, and is often included in feed or drinking water. It complies with BP 2008 and USP 32 pharmacopeial standards.
