Salvia Miltiorrhiza Extract, widely known as Danshen Extract or Red Sage Extract, is derived from the dried roots and rhizomes of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. A cornerstone herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is renowned for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
The extract is categorized into two main types based on the active compounds:
Lipophilic (Fat-soluble): Rich in Tanshinones (especially Tanshinone IIA), typically appearing as a red-brown powder.
Hydrophilic (Water-soluble): Rich in Salvianolic Acids (especially Salvianolic Acid B), appearing as a yellow-brown powder.
Recognized for its potent cardiovascular benefits and antioxidant properties, Salvia Miltiorrhiza Extract is a key ingredient in heart health supplements and functional cosmetics. As a specialized Salvia Miltiorrhiza Extract supplier and manufacturer, we offer a full range of specifications, from water-soluble acids for beverages to high-purity Tanshinones for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.

What is the difference between Tanshinone IIA and Salvianolic Acid B?
Tanshinone IIA is fat-soluble and responsible for the characteristic red color of the root; it is primarily used for anti-inflammatory and circulation benefits. Salvianolic Acid B is water-soluble and is a super-antioxidant, often used in aqueous formulations and beverages.
Is your extract suitable for beverage applications?
Yes, our Salvianolic Acid series is fully water-soluble and clear in solution, making it perfect for functional drinks. For tablets or softgels, the Tanshinone series is often preferred.
Does this extract interact with medications?
Because Salvia Miltiorrhiza promotes blood circulation (blood-thinning effect), it may interact with anticoagulant medications like Warfarin. We recommend including a standard advisory on finished product labels.
Is the color of the powder always red?
No. High content Tanshinone extracts are reddish-brown. However, extracts standardized for Salvianolic Acids (water-soluble) are typically yellowish-brown.
Do you control for heavy metals and pesticide residues?
Yes. As a quality-focused Danshen Extract manufacturer, we rigorously test for heavy metals (Pb, As, Hg, Cd) and pesticide residues to meet USP/EP standards.
