Extract from marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) 10:1 - 5 g

Five grams of powdered extract is the format from which most collections of plant extracts start, and this item works exactly that way: Canntropy packs a concentrated extract from marshmallow root in a 10:1 ratio, in an amount that can be viewed, described, and shelved without committing to years of supply. The product card is clear about its purpose: this is collector's material, not intended for direct consumption or smoking, and sales are conducted exclusively to adults. The raw material is the root of Althaea officinalis, a perennial known from Europe and Western Asia, associated by the producer with mucilages, pectins, and flavonoids. The brand is backed by the Czech company Brands of Hemp from Příbram, which offers this same item in several weights. The small package has a practical advantage: five grams takes up virtually no space, so this item can be kept on the shelf on a trial basis before you decide on a stock.

The 10:1 notation describes the ratio between the dried root and the finished powder: it indicates how much raw material was used for one part of the extract, and this is the declaration that the manufacturer places at the center of this card. It is information about the degree of concentration, not about the content of a specific compound, and these two things can easily be confused. The manufacturer records it the same way across all weights of this item, so the ratio does not change with the package size. Mucilages, pectins, and flavonoids are listed by the manufacturer alongside the ratio as groups of compounds for which the marshmallow root is known - this is a characteristic of the raw material, not a standardization to a numerical value. With a small package, this difference may be less noticeable than with a stock, but it is worth knowing from the start, as an extract described by ratio and an extract standardized to a specific compound are two different categories of goods. The card provides everything needed to describe this item in the collection: part of the plant, form, extraction ratio, package weight, and manufacturer along with the address.

How to use

The manufacturer describes this item as a collectible material: it is not intended for direct consumption or smoking, and this is the binding purpose of this product. Therefore, everything you actually do with such a package concerns storage, and the guidelines below come directly from the recommendation on the card: a dry and dark place.

Keep the powder in its original, tightly sealed packaging
Choose a dry and dark place - not a windowsill or a shelf above the stove.
With such a small amount of powder, every opening matters: open the package rarely and briefly.
Store out of reach of children and pets
Do not permanently transfer the contents to a ziplock bag - the foil promotes moisture.

For whom

This is a product for those who are just starting to build their collection of powdered plant extracts or want to add a classic without reserving an entire shelf for it. Marshmallow has been present in European herbalism for centuries, so it finds its way into collections more due to its history than novelty, and five grams is more than enough to see what such a powder looks like, how it clumps, and how it reacts to moisture. If you already know this brand and are aware that you return to it regularly, a more sensible choice would be a bulk package. However, this is not a product for someone looking for raw material to prepare an infusion or to consume in any form: the manufacturer explicitly excludes such use. The collection includes exactly the description provided on the card: root of Althaea officinalis, ratio 10:1, loose powder, storage in a dry and dark place, and the manufacturer with an address - a complete set of data that can be used to describe the item on the collection label. Sales are conducted exclusively to adults.

Frequently asked questions

What does the notation 10:1 mean exactly?

This is the ratio between the mass of dried raw material and the mass of the finished extract - it indicates how much root was used for one part of the powder. This is the value declared on the product card and it is the value presented on this page. However, the ratio does not provide any information about the content of a specific compound and should not be confused with such a declaration.

How much does this package weigh and for whom is this format?

This package weighs 5 g. This amount is sufficient to examine the powder, assess its structure, and check how it behaves in your storage conditions, without buying a supply for long months. If this extract is already a permanent part of your collection, you will also find a backup package with the same raw material and the same ratio here.

How to store the powder after opening?

In the original, tightly sealed packaging, in a dry and dark place - this is what the manufacturer's card states. In practice, this means a closed cabinet instead of a windowsill or shelf above the stove. The fine powder absorbs moisture from the air, and with a small amount, the effect is visible faster: clumping usually means that the packaging has been stored in too humid a place.

Who produces this extract?

The brand is Canntropy, and the manufacturer is the Czech company Brands of Hemp s.r.o. based at Žižkova 708 in Příbram - both of these details are provided on the product card. The same company offers this item in several weights, so the raw material, part of the plant, and the declared extraction ratio are the same in all of them.

Variants and category

We also offer the same extract in a larger package - the only difference is the amount of powder inside. You will find both items in the category herbs.

Safety and storage

The product is intended for adults and solely for collection purposes - it is not intended for direct consumption or smoking, and this declaration by the manufacturer is binding.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as individuals taking medications regularly, should consult a doctor before introducing concentrated plant material into their home.
