Elecampane

Elecampane is a traditional botanical derived from the root of Inula helenium, supplied by Nustras as a cut-and-sifted botanical and as a powder or extract for herbal and functional formulations. The root is rich in inulin and sesquiterpene lactones such as alantolactone, and has a long history of use in European and traditional herbal practice for respiratory and digestive support.

Elecampane root is used in herbal teas and decoctions, tinctures and extracts, and traditional respiratory and digestive formulations, as well as in bitters and functional-beverage applications. It is supplied in cut-and-sifted, powdered and standardised-extract forms.

The material is prepared from the Inula helenium root as a light-brown botanical. Identity is confirmed by organoleptic examination and TLC or HPLC, and heavy-metal, pesticide and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies elecampane in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags, cartons or fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Elecampane is used as a traditional herbal ingredient; buyers confirm the accepted botanical name, part and claim for their market.
