Marshmallow Root Extract

Marshmallow(Althaea officinalis),  or marsh mallow, is a perennial herb of the family Malvaceae native to Europe, Western Asia, and Northern Africa. Its root has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its emollient and mucilaginous properties, the viscous substances that can soothe and protect various tissues in the body such as digestive, respiratory, urinary tract and skin conditions.

Marshmallow root extract is typically produced by drying and grinding the roots and then extracting the active compounds using solvents like water or alcohol. The resulting extract is rich in mucilage, flavonoids, and other beneficial compounds, which have been proven excellent anti-inflammatory effects and could be beneficial for conditions like arthritis, joint pain, and other inflammatory disorders.
