What Is Cat-nip Fluid Extract?
Cat-nip Fluid Extract is a hydro-ethanolic liquid made from the aerial parts of Nepeta cataria, a mint-family herb known as much for its effect on cats as for its long human herbal history. Bio-Botanica supplies it full-spectrum and non-standardized, giving supplement and beverage formulators a gentle, aromatic liquid base to dose directly into calming and evening-wellness products.
Market Demand
Catnip sits within the calming and relaxation-tea tradition, a segment buoyed by consumer interest in gentle, everyday botanicals for winding down. Demand for soothing herbal liquids in the supplement and functional-beverage space supports its inclusion, and a fluid extract lets brands add a familiar mint-family herb to tinctures and evening-wellness formats, complementing the more prominent relaxation botanicals with a recognizable, approachable name.
Formulation Applications
The ethanol fluid format works in hydro-alcoholic tinctures, calming tea concentrates, and liquid supplements, diluting into syrups or flavored bases for a milder, more palatable profile. Catnip's aerial parts are traditionally associated with digestive and relaxation support — structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim — a natural companion to chamomile, lemon balm, and other evening herbs.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Bio-Botanica extracts these aerial parts with its low-heat Bio-Chelated process, preserving a Holistically Balanced range of naturally occurring constituents. A family-owned company since 1972, it works from an FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York and confirms identity, microbial, USP, and heavy-metal specifications in an onsite lab with HPLC and ICP/MS before release; Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification is available.
