Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract

Botanical name: Rhodiola rosea L.

Plant part: Dried root and rhizome

Other name: Golden root

Form: Brown to yellow-brown dry extract powder, grade dependent

Common commercial target: Rosavins 3% with salidroside 1% by HPLC, subject to the exact grade definition and batch COA.

Critical identity check: Confirm a discriminatory HPLC fingerprint against authenticated R. rosea reference material. R. rosea should not be substituted with related species such as R. crenulata or R. sacra.

When comparing quotations, confirm whether “rosavins” means the combined phenylpropanoid group or whether “rosavin” is reported individually; also compare salidroside, extraction solvent, native extract ratio, carrier and test method.

• Tablets, capsules and dry botanical blends
• Pharmaceutical and complementary-medicine development, subject to the applicable Australian finished-product requirements
• Other specification-led formulation projects only after confirming ingredient status and the intended regulatory pathway

Solubility and dispersibility: Performance varies with extraction method, carrier, concentration and particle size. A powder that disperses in water may not produce a clear or physically stable solution.

Formulation checks: Assess bitterness, colour, hygroscopicity, powder flow, blend uniformity, processing conditions and finished-product stability. Confirm the effect of heat, pH and other ingredients through bench testing.

The TGA publishes a compositional guideline for Rhodiola rosea dried-root extract permitted for use in listed medicines. The guideline distinguishes genuine R. rosea from related species and defines extraction and analytical considerations. Buyers developing listed medicines should compare the proposed grade with the current guideline and all finished-product obligations: TGA Rhodiola rosea extract guideline.

FSANZ has recorded Rhodiola rosea as a non-traditional novel food for which safety assessment is required. Medicine eligibility therefore does not create a general permission for food or beverage use. This page does not confirm finished-product approval, permitted dosage or claims.

Request the current specification and batch-specific documents before purchase. Depending on the grade, available support may include Certificate of Analysis (COA), TDS, SDS, HPLC chromatogram or fingerprint, extraction-solvent and ratio information, carrier declaration, residual solvents, microbiological limits, heavy metals and pesticide-residue data.

For a useful quotation, provide the required botanical identity, rosavins or rosavin definition, salidroside target, analytical method, extraction preference, intended dosage format, destination market, trial quantity, estimated annual volume and document requirements. Samples are coordinated for qualified B2B projects.

Is Rhodiola crenulata equivalent to Rhodiola rosea?
No. They are different species and should not be substituted where the specification or regulatory pathway requires authenticated R. rosea.

Are “rosavins 3%” and “rosavin 3%” the same?
Not necessarily. “Rosavins” may refer to a group of phenylpropanoids, while rosavin can be reported as an individual compound. Confirm the definition and HPLC method.

Is Rhodiola extract automatically suitable for an Australian beverage?
No. The specific ingredient, extract and intended use require regulatory assessment, and dispersibility does not guarantee beverage clarity or stability.

What should buyers request before sampling?
Request the botanical-identity method, marker definitions, extraction details, current specification, representative COA and the document list required for the proposed market.
