Pelargonium root dry extract is a botanical preparation obtained from the roots of Pelargonium sidoides DC, a South African medicinal plant belonging to the family Geraniaceae. The botanical material is commonly referred to as Pelargonii radix or Pelargonium root. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) recognises Pelargonium sidoides DC and Pelargonium reniforme Curt. as botanical sources of Pelargonium root preparations.
MEDIOCON INC can supply Pelargonium root dry extract from Pelargonium sidoides as a botanical raw material for qualified nutraceutical, herbal and food-supplement applications. The material is produced by extraction of the root material followed by concentration and drying. Depending on the specific grade, the extraction process and extract ratio may vary, so the commercial specification should always be checked against the applicable COA and technical specification.
The EMA documentation describes Pelargonium root preparations including a liquid extract with a DER of 1:8–10 using ethanol 11% (m/m) and a corresponding dry extract. It also describes a dry extract of Pelargonii radix with DER 4–25:1 and ethanol 11% (m/m). These are preparation-specific specifications and should not automatically be applied to every commercial Pelargonium extract.
Pelargonium root contains a complex mixture of naturally occurring constituents, including phenolic compounds, coumarins, tannins and other plant-derived constituents. Because it is a complex botanical extract rather than a single chemical substance, it does not have one molecular formula or molecular weight. The exact phytochemical profile depends on the botanical source, extraction process and manufacturing specification.
MEDIOCON INC can provide Pelargonium root dry extract according to the required botanical identity, extraction specification, DER, moisture, microbiological quality, heavy-metal limits and other quality parameters. Exact assay or marker values should only be published when supported by the actual product specification or batch COA.
The raw material is obtained from the root of Pelargonium sidoides DC. EMA refers to the material as Pelargonii radix, or Pelargonium root.
The dry extract is produced by extracting the botanical root material and subsequently removing the extraction solvent to obtain a concentrated dry preparation. The precise manufacturing process is grade-specific.
Pelargonium root contains several naturally occurring plant constituents. The extract is therefore considered a complex botanical preparation, rather than a single active pharmaceutical substance.
Botanical identity, extraction parameters, DER, moisture, microbiological quality, heavy metals and other quality characteristics should be controlled according to the approved product specification.
Pelargonium root dry extract can be used as a raw material for:
