Althaea officinalis L.
Marshmallow root and leaf from Althaea officinalis are rich in mucilage polysaccharides — particularly pectin and arabinogalactan — which give the plant its well-established soothing and coating properties. It is widely used in herbal medicine for respiratory, digestive and urinary tract support, and as a demulcent active in pharmaceutical preparations.
Bioform supplies certified organic dried marshmallow root, leaf or a blend to customer specification. Available cut and sifted or as a fine powder for extract production, supplement encapsulation and tea blends. Root and leaf are supplied separately or as a combined material on request. Full COA and microbiological documentation per batch.
