Cinchona Bark Extract

Botanical Source: Derived from the dried bark of trees belonging to the genus Cinchona (Family: Rubiaceae), primarily Cinchona officinalis, C. ledgeriana, C. succirubra, and their hybrids. It is famously known as Jesuit's Bark, Peruvian Bark, or Quina.

Cinchona Bark Extract is one of the most historically significant botanical extracts in the world. It is the original source of quinine, the anti-malarial alkaloid that changed global history, trade, and colonization. Beyond quinine, the bark contains a complex mixture of over 30 alkaloids and other compounds. Its modern uses, while more specialized due to synthetic alternatives, remain important in medicine, beverages, and nutraceuticals, primarily for its bitter and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties.
