Natural TCM Chinese Codonopsis Root Extract Powder 4:1 10:1 Codonopsis Pilosula Extract Food Grade

Codonopsis Root Extract comes from the dried root of Codonopsis pilosula (family Campanulaceae), a classic qi-tonifying herb in traditional Chinese medicine that is now widely used in dietary supplements and cosmetic ingredients. Its marker compound is lobetyolin, commonly used for quality control and authentication.

Health Benefits of Codonopsis Root Extract

Immunomodulation, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects
Gastrointestinal and neuroprotection
Cardiovascular and anti-fatigue effects
Anticancer potential (preclinical)

Codonopsis is often called "poor man's ginseng" and is sometimes adulterated into or substituted for ginseng products commercially. However, their chemical compositions differ: Codonopsis contains lobetyolin but no ginsenosides. Detecting lobetyolin is therefore a key means of authenticating Codonopsis root extract and preventing confusion with lower-cost ginseng.
