Rhodiola

What is Rhodiola extract, and what species does it come from?

Rhodiola extract from Bio-Botanica is a botanical extract made from Rhodiola rosea, a plant in the Crassulaceae family, native to cold, mountainous regions of Europe, Asia, and the Arctic. The extract is made from the root. Bio-Botanica has manufactured botanical extracts at its cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York since 1972.

What part of Rhodiola does Bio-Botanica extract?

Bio-Botanica extracts the root of Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea). The plant part is stated on every specification sheet, because part-versus-species accuracy matters for identity testing and for label copy in the finished product.

What extract forms of Rhodiola are available?

Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) is available from Bio-Botanica as alcohol-free extract, cosmetic glycerin extract, and Zea-Botanicals®. Each form carries its own Part ID and its own specification. Which one suits you depends on the carrier, the solids content and the process your finished product runs through.

Where does Rhodiola originate?

Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) is native to cold, mountainous regions of Europe, Asia, and the Arctic. Bio-Botanica sources raw Rhodiola against identity and quality specifications, and every incoming lot is tested in our onsite laboratory before extraction begins.

Is Rhodiola extract available alcohol-free?

Is Rhodiola extract standardized to a specific compound?

Bio-Botanica’s Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) extracts are full-spectrum rather than standardized to a single marker compound. The Bio-Chelated process is designed to carry the botanical’s naturally occurring constituents through in their native ratios. If your specification calls for a standardized Rhodiola material, our team can discuss a custom extraction.

What applications is Rhodiola extract suited for?

Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) extract is supplied to formulators in dietary supplements, food and beverage, and cosmetics and personal care. The right format depends on the application: liquid and glycerin-carried forms suit water-based systems, powdered and solid extracts suit dry blends and capsules, and oil infusions suit anhydrous and oil-phase work. Positioning is structure/function only.
