Goldenseal Water Soluble Extract

Goldenseal Liquid Extract supplies berberine with hydrastine and canadine from Hydrastis canadensis root and rhizome. Hydrastine is what distinguishes goldenseal from cheaper berberine sources such as Berberis or Coptis, so specify it rather than total alkaloids. Hydrastis canadensis is CITES Appendix II and its annotation covers powder; confirm permit requirements before import.

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Goldenseal?
Most buyers use it in traditional Western herbal liquid preparations. As with any new water-soluble extract, pilot-test in your specific base before committing to a full production run.

Which carrier should I choose — water, propylene glycol or glycerin?
Water alone suits most aqueous formulations. Propylene glycol improves cold-stability and solvency in preserved systems; glycerin gives a milder, skin-friendlier carrier for leave-on formulations. PG and glycerin variants are offered at 500 g and 1 Kg, with PG also available at 5 Kg.
