Medicinal Cyathula Root Extract (Chuan Niu Xi Extract)
Medicinal Cyathula Root Extract, traditionally known as **Chuan Niu Xi Extract**, is derived from the distinct roots of the plant and is standardized to contain specific levels of active Cyasterone and Ecdysterone. It is celebrated for its ability to tonify the Liver and Kidney, strengthen bones and tendons, promote healthy circulation, and expel excess water, making it an essential botanical for joint comfort, stamina, and deep resilience formulations.
What is Medicinal Cyathula Root Extract?
Medicinal Cyathula Root Extract is sourced from the dried roots of the premium botanical Cyathula officinalis K.C. Kuan. Known traditionally as Chuan Niu Xi, it is a foundational herb in Chinese herbal medicine, highly valued for its profound structural and energetic benefits. Unlike ratio extracts, it is rich in the key active compound Ecdysterone, alongside cyasterone, other specific alkaloids, polysaccharides, and antioxidants. The extract typically appears as a brownish-yellow fine powder and is standardized to guaranteed levels (ranging from 1% to 10% HPLC for specific compounds, or a stable ratio like 10:1 TLC).
Revered as a premier botanical for structural integrity, Chuan Niu Xi is traditionally used to tonify Liver and Kidney (the foundational reserves of deep strength), reinforce skeletal strength, support joints, and resolve internal and blood stagnation. As a professional Chuan Niu Xi Extract supplier, we ensure rigorous quality control to deliver a pure, potent ingredient suitable for joint comfort, stamina, and structural resilience formulations.
