Product Introduction

Valerian Root Extract is a powerful botanical substance obtained from select valerian rhizomes through modern extraction and purification methods. Shaanxi hongda phytochemistry 's valerian extract powder is a fine dark brown powder that contains standardised amounts of valerenic acids, the sesquiterpenoid chemicals that have been studied clinically, and are attributed to valerian's well-known calming effects. Our valerenic acid extract has the whole phytochemical profile including iridoids, volatile oils and bioactive alkaloids yet securing optimum solubility in hydro-alcoholic compositions.

Third-Party Test Report

Authentication and Purity Verification: Independent laboratories, such as SGS and Eurofins, affirm our extract is 100% Valeriana officinalis species by HPLC fingerprinting, with no cross contamination with Valeriana edulis or other inferior species. Analysis of marker compounds showed no valtrate breakdown products, which would suggest incorrect treatment.

Safety and Compliance Testing: Comprehensive third-party reports showing pesticide residue levels below EU limits, heavy metals testing meeting USP lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic standards, and microbiological analysis meeting pharmaceutical grade total plate counts parameters. These validated results ensure your formulations meet global dietary supplement and functional meal regulations.

Valeriana Officinalis Root Extract Advantages

Superior Bioavailability and Absorption: Our optimised 70% ethanol extraction procedure captures lipophilic valerenic acids that water-based decoctions fail to catch, giving you much higher bioavailability. This means your end goods will have therapeutic effects at lower doses, making them more cost effective while still being clinically useful for your consumers wanting natural sleep support.

Exceptional Stability and Shelf Life: Controlled moisture content of less than 5% and specialised post-extraction processing minimises the degradation of valepotriate, stability of the product up to 36 months when stored appropriately. The increased shelf life means less waste of inventory, easier supply chain management and consistency of potency throughout the life cycle of your product in the market.

Valeriana Officinalis Root Extract Application

Sleep Aid Supplements: Sleep support capsules, tablets, and soft gels generally employ standardised valerenic acid content. Clinical studies demonstrate 300-600mg extract improves sleep latency and quality. An essential component in natural sleep aid formulations that meet customer demand for non-habit-forming alternatives.

Stress and Anxiety Management Products: This Valeriana Officinalis Root Extract is used by formulators in stress-relief supplements, mood support blends and adaptogenic formulae. Valerenic acids' GABA-modulating properties can help you capitalise on anxiolytics' natural benefits and increase your product positioning in the mental wellness sector, which is growing double-digit globally.

Production Process

Step 1 - Raw Material Selection and Preparation: Rhizomes of Valeriana officinalis of good quality, acquired from certified cultivation bases, are checked for species validity and contamination levels, then carefully washed, accurately sliced and dried under regulated conditions.

Step 2 - Dynamic Extraction and Concentration: The prepared material is fed into multifunctional extraction tanks where a controlled-temperature water-alcohol solvent circulation maximises the solubility of valerenic acids, volatile oils and iridoids over optimised time periods.

Step 3 - Chromatographic Purification and Separation: The valerenic acids and target chemicals are selectively adsorbed on macroporous adsorption resin columns from the filtered extract and step-eluted with gradient alcohol-water solutions to separate the active fractions from the undesirable plant elements.

Step 4 - Vacuum Concentration and Specialised Drying: Target fractions are vacuum concentrated to recover solvents and then spray dried for normal grades or freeze dried for premium products that require maximal volatile oil preservation.

FAQ

Q: Why does the product smell so bad?

A: Enzymatic valepotriate degradation to isovaleric acid causes the scent. It is a critical indicator of raw material legality and potency. High-quality extract smells like this. Capsules or blends with complementary herbs can control this.

Q: What is a 10:1 extract versus 0.8% Valerenic Acid?

A: Utilised raw material concentration is 10:1. 0.8% Valerenic Acid is a common assay for active ingredient concentration. Standardised specifications are the industry gold standard for clinical efficacy, delivering uniform and predictable results in each batch.

Q: Is your extract free of Valeriana edulis contamination?

A: Yes, HPLC fingerprinting verifies Valeriana officinalis genuineness by detecting no valtrate markers from edulis species. This verification protects your products from effectiveness and regulatory concerns caused by species adulteration.
