Tangerine Peel Extract (Dried Tangerine Peel Extract / Chen Pi Extract)
Tangerine Peel Extract, traditionally known as **Chen Pi Extract**, is derived from the dried, aged peels of the fruit and is standardized to contain specific levels of active **Hesperidin** and other flavonoids. It is celebrated for its ability to regulate Qi, dry dampness, and transform phlegm, making it a fundamental botanical for respiratory health, digestive comfort, and metabolic balance formulations.
What is Tangerine Peel Extract?
Tangerine Peel Extract is sourced from the dried, aged peels of the premium fruit Citrus reticulata Blanco (syn. C. tangerina). Known traditionally as Chen Pi, it is a cornerstone herb in Chinese herbal medicine, highly valued for its ability to regulate energetic flow. Unlike simple powders, it is rich in key active compounds including Hesperidin, Citrus flavonoids, polysaccharides, and other volatile oils. The extract typically appears as a light yellow-brown to brown fine powder and is standardized to guaranteed levels (ranging from specific ratio extracts like 10:1 to standardized percentages of Hesperidin, e.g., 5% – 50% HPLC).
Revered as a premier botanical for structural and energetic comfort, Chen Pi is traditionally used to treat stagnant Qi, resolve heavy dampness in the digestive and respiratory tracts, and calm internal and mental stagnation. Its potent bitter and warm properties clear congestion and optimize daily flow. As a professional Chen Pi Extract supplier, we ensure rigorous quality control, authentic aging (for specific specs), and precise standardization to deliver a pure, potent ingredient suitable for functional wellness and functional formulations.
