Product Description

Under the modern demands of ‘colon cleansing’ and ‘metabolic management,’ rhubarb is one of the few herbs with both a millennium of clinical use and evidence-based support. Nutralighting Rhubarb Extract uses Qinghai authentic palm-leaf rhubarb as the raw material, standardized for anthraquinones (such as emodin), presenting its traditional claims of ‘moistening the intestines to relieve constipation, clearing heat and benefiting the gallbladder, lowering lipids and blood sugar’ as a reliable story supported by the ‘Chinese Pharmacopoeia’ and metabolic research.

Rhubarb extract, marked by emodin and rhein glycosides as key active components, is selectively enriched from plant raw materials, with controllable emodin content of 10%-98% (HPLC). It targets digestive health, liver support, and metabolic management, serving dietary supplements, functional foods, and personal care formulations. The rhubarb extract uses authentic Qinghai medicinal materials, strictly controls arsenic levels, meets anthraquinone content standards, and is suitable for the development of digestive and metabolic products.

Rhubarb is a classic purgative and hemostatic herb in traditional Chinese medicine, widely used in digestive and liver health products. Attention should be paid to the safety of long-term anthraquinone use.
