Cornus officinalis dogwood fruit extract
Product Introduction
Our cornus officinalis dogwood fruit extract is derived from the ripe fruit pulp of Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc., a deciduous tree native to the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces of China. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), known as "Shanzhuyu," this herb has been used for millennia to nourish the liver and kidneys.
As a professional plant extract manufacturer, we use a water/ethanol gradient extraction process followed by spray-drying technology. That's why heat extraction (water-based) maximizes the yield of key bioactive iridoid glycosides (Loganin) while maintaining low cytotoxicity.
We are located near our raw material production bases, resulting in relatively low transportation costs; furthermore, our partnerships with dedicated cultivation bases enable us to ensure the stability of our raw material supply.
