Product Introduction

Radix Picrorrhizae extract is derived from the rhizome of Picrorhiza kurroa, a medicinal plant found in the Himalayan region. The extract is rich in bioactive compounds such as picrosides, kutkosides, and apocynin, which contribute to its strong hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating properties. It has been traditionally used in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine to support liver function, respiratory health, and immune regulation. Modern applications include its use in dietary supplements and herbal formulations aimed at promoting liver detoxification, digestion, and overall metabolic balance.

Production Process

The process begins with the careful selection and harvesting of mature Picrorhiza kurroa roots, which are then cleaned and dried to preserve their active compounds. The dried roots are finely ground into powder and extracted using water or ethanol-based solvents to obtain the bioactive components. The extract is then concentrated, purified, and dried using spray drying or vacuum drying techniques. The final product undergoes quality control tests to ensure purity, potency, and compliance with industry standards.
