Salvia Miltiorrhiza Bge

Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, known as danshen, is a perennial herb of the Lamiaceae family cultivated in China, whose dried root and rhizome are a long-established ingredient of East Asian herbal practice. Nustras supplies it as a dried root slice, a milled root powder and as a standardised root extract powder.

Salvia miltiorrhiza root and extract are formulated into herbal supplements in capsule, tablet and powder form, into traditional herbal formulas and decoction granules, and into functional beverages.

The material is a reddish-brown root powder or a brown to reddish-brown extract powder with a characteristic odour. Extract ratio and the content of salvianolic acid B and/or tanshinones, where specified, are standardised to specification and determined by HPLC; botanical identity is confirmed by thin-layer chromatography against a reference, and heavy-metal, pesticide and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies Salvia miltiorrhiza root and extract in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Danshen root is an accepted herbal supplement ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted plant part, preparation and claim for their application.
