Product Description
Ivy leaf extract from Hedera helix is used for cough and airway-comfort products. Markers are hederacoside C and hederagenin, with ratio extracts (5:1, 10:1, 20:1) and a grade around 10% of those saponins.
The leaf saponins are the pharmacopoeial story. English ivy ornamental cuttings are not a substitute, and the extract is not a cosmetic film-former just because the plant climbs.
When buying, specify hederacoside C or the ratio, and the leaf. Confirm the market allows the respiratory positioning you want.

Applications
Syrup and Lozenge Bases
Bitter. Ratio extracts need a stated strength so the dose does not drift.
Marker Identity
Hederacoside C and hederagenin are the names to match. “Ivy saponins” is too vague.
Syrups
Bitter leaf saponins. The ratio has to be stated or the dose drifts between lots.
Lozenges
Hederacoside C is the name to match. “Ivy saponins” is too vague for a label.
Liquid Extracts
Syrup bases often start from a liquid extract. Convert the ratio before you copy a powder dose.
FAQ
Which ivy saponins should the specification name?
Hederacoside C and hederagenin, or a 5:1 to 20:1 ratio.
Which part of Hedera helix is extracted?
Leaf of Hedera helix.
Can prunings from garden ivy replace a tested leaf extract?
Not acceptable. You want a tested leaf extract, not garden prunings.
What ratios and saponin grades are available?
Extract ratios of about 5:1, 10:1 and 20:1, and a grade around 10% hederagenin and hederacoside C.
Why reject garden prunings?
Ornamental ivy is not a tested Hedera helix leaf extract, and it is not a substitute for the airway specification.
Which species is acceptable?
Hedera helix leaf. Ornamental garden ivy is not a tested substitute.
