Dandelion Extract Powder

Dandelion Extract Powder is a standardized herbal ingredient derived from the roots or aerial parts of Taraxacum officinale. It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, and herbal formulations due to its traditional applications in digestive support, liver health, and metabolic balance.

At Jiuyuan Biotech, our Dandelion Extract Powder is manufactured from cultivated Taraxacum officinale sourced from controlled-growth zones in Northwest China - regions where soil mineral profiles and seasonal temperature variation produce roots with measurably higher inulin and sesquiterpene lactone concentrations. Every batch is standardized against validated marker compounds, not simply ratio-extracted and labeled.

Our dandelion extract powder is produced using controlled extraction and spray-drying processes to ensure consistent quality, stable active compound levels, and excellent formulation compatibility. Multiple specifications and extraction ratios are available to meet diverse formulation requirements.

Below is the COA of Dandelion Extract powder, please refer to it.

Understanding what's actually in your dandelion extract - and what each compound does - is the difference between a formula that works and one that merely checks a label box.

Key Phytochemicals in Taraxacum officinale

Sesquiterpene Lactones (Taraxacin, Taraxacerin)

These bitter-tasting compounds are the primary drivers of dandelion's hepatoprotective and digestive-stimulant activity. Taraxacin, in particular, has been studied for its role in stimulating bile secretion (choleretic effect) and supporting hepatic cell function. They are predominantly concentrated in the root.

Chicoric Acid

A hydroxycinnamic acid derivative found in significant concentrations in dandelion leaf. Chicoric acid has attracted research interest for its antioxidant capacity and potential role in glucose metabolism modulation - relevant for metabolic health and weight management formulations.

Flavonoids (Luteolin, Apigenin, Quercetin)

Dandelion is a meaningful dietary source of luteolin and apigenin - flavones with well-documented anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Luteolin's NF-κB pathway inhibition activity has been the subject of multiple in vitro studies.

Inulin & Fructooligosaccharides (FOS)

Dandelion root contains 12–15% inulin by dry weight (seasonal variation applies). As a prebiotic fiber, inulin selectively promotes Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus proliferation in the gut - a commercially compelling attribute for microbiome-focused formulations.

Phytosterols (β-Sitosterol, Stigmasterol)

Present in moderate concentrations, contributing to the plant's anti-inflammatory profile and relevant to cardiovascular wellness positioning.

Taraxasterol & Ψ-Taraxasterol

Pentacyclic triterpenes unique to Taraxacum species. Emerging research suggests hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory mechanisms, though clinical evidence remains in early stages.

Polysaccharides

Root polysaccharides contribute to immunomodulatory activity and are a focus of ongoing research in the functional food space.

Our standardized extraction process ensures consistent potency, making our extract a powerful ingredient for various health applications.

1. Liver Support & Detoxification

Dandelion is traditionally known for its hepatoprotective properties. The taraxasterol and polyphenols in our extract promote healthy bile flow, aiding the liver's natural detoxification processes. This can be particularly beneficial for supporting overall liver function and metabolic health.

2. Potent Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory Action

Rich in chlorogenic acid and luteolin, this extract effectively scavenges free radicals, reducing oxidative stress. Its anti-inflammatory properties help modulate the body's inflammatory response, supporting joint comfort and overall cellular health.

3. Digestive & Diuretic Wellness

The prebiotic inulin fiber supports a healthy gut microbiome, while the extract's natural diuretic properties encourage the elimination of excess fluids. This dual action promotes comfortable digestion and helps maintain a balanced urinary system.

4. Skin Health from Within

The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits translate to skin health. By combating internal oxidative stress, it can contribute to a clearer complexion and support the skin's resilience against environmental stressors.

Dandelion extract powder is a highly versatile botanical ingredient that can be flexibly incorporated into a wide range of health-focused formulations. Below are typical formulation concepts commonly used by supplement and functional food brands:

• Digestive & Liver Support Formula

Dandelion extract powder (300–500 mg/day, 10:1 root extract) is often combined with milk thistle extract and artichoke extract to support normal digestive function and liver health. This classic herbal combination is widely used in capsules and tablets for daily wellness products.

• Detox & Water Balance Formula

In metabolic balance and gentle detox formulations, dandelion extract powder (400–600 mg/day, whole herb extract) is commonly paired with green tea extract and nettle leaf extract to support fluid balance and antioxidant activity. Suitable for weight management and lifestyle wellness products.

• Functional Tea & Beverage Formula

For herbal teas and functional beverages, low-bitter dandelion extract powder can be blended with chicory root, burdock root, or citrus peel powders to create caffeine-free, plant-based wellness drinks with improved flavor and solubility.

Formulation ratios and specifications can be customized based on product format and regulatory requirements.

One of the most persistent pain points for supplement formulators sourcing dandelion extract is the lack of standardization across suppliers. "10:1 extract" from three different vendors can represent three entirely different bioactive profiles - because extraction ratio alone tells you nothing about what's actually concentrated.

The cost difference between a ratio extract and a properly standardized, fully documented extract is often marginal at the ingredient level - but the downstream formulation risk, regulatory exposure, and brand liability are not.

Q1: What is the difference between dandelion root extract and whole herb extract?

Root extract is richer in sesquiterpene lactones (taraxacin, taraxacerin) and inulin, making it the preferred choice for liver support and prebiotic applications. Whole herb extract captures a broader phytochemical profile including the higher chicoric acid content found in the leaf - better suited for antioxidant and metabolic health formulas. We supply both; the right choice depends on your target health claim and formulation rationale.

Q2: Is your Dandelion Extract Powder water-soluble?

Partial solubility in water is characteristic of dandelion extracts due to their mixed-polarity phytochemical composition. Ratio extracts (4:1, 10:1) typically disperse in warm water with agitation. Standardized flavonoid or chicoric acid grades may require a co-solvent system or encapsulation technology for beverage applications. We can advise on carrier selection based on your application format.

Q3: Can you provide organic-certified Dandelion Extract Powder?

Yes. We offer USDA NOP and EU Organic certified grades sourced from certified organic cultivation bases. Organic-certified products carry a separate COA and certification documentation. MOQ and lead time may differ from conventional grades - contact our team for current availability.

Q4: How do you ensure pesticide residue compliance for EU market entry?

All batches are tested against EU Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) as defined in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. Testing is conducted using multi-residue LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS methods covering 500+ pesticide compounds. Test reports are provided as standard documentation. For customers requiring specific pesticide panels beyond our standard screen, we can arrange targeted testing through accredited third-party laboratories.

Q5: What is the shelf life, and how should the extract be stored?

Shelf life is 24 months from the date of manufacture under recommended storage conditions: sealed container, below 25°C, relative humidity below 60%, away from direct light and strong odors. Once opened, reseal immediately and use within a reasonable period. We recommend storing in original packaging until point of use.

Q6: Can you customize the specification - for example, a higher chicoric acid assay or a specific particle size?

Custom specifications are a routine part of our service. We can adjust assay targets (within technically achievable ranges), particle size distribution, carrier agent type, and packaging format. Custom work typically requires a minimum volume discussion and a development lead time of 4–6 weeks for the first production run. Bring your target spec sheet and we'll assess feasibility.

Q7: Do you offer stability data or compatibility information for formulation purposes?

Accelerated stability data (40°C/75% RH, 6-month) is available for standard specifications upon request. For compatibility assessments with specific excipients or co-ingredients, we can share available data or recommend third-party testing resources. Our technical team is available to support formulation development discussions.

Q8: Is Taraxacum officinale extract on the EU Novel Food list?

Taraxacum officinale (dandelion) has a documented history of use as a food and herbal medicine in the EU predating May 1997, and is therefore generally not classified as a Novel Food under EU Regulation 2015/2283. It is listed in the European Medicines Agency (EMA) Community herbal monograph and the HMPC assessment report. However, regulatory status can vary by product format, health claim, and member state - we recommend consulting your regulatory affairs team or a qualified EU regulatory consultant for market-specific guidance.
