Marshmallow Root Extract (Althaea officinalis) 10:1 - 25G

Marshmallow Root Extract (Althaea officinalis) 10:1 - 25 g

Marshmallow root has a longer history in European herbalism than most plants that make it to this shelf, and Canntropy offers it in a concentrated form: powdered extract from the root at a ratio of 10:1, packaged in 25 g. The product card is clear about its purpose: it is a collector’s item, 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, and the producer associates it with mucilages, pectins, and flavonoids. Behind the Canntropy brand is the Czech company Brands of Hemp from Příbram, which releases the same item in several weights.

The 25 g format is a backup package: it is reached for when this extract is already in the collection and it is known how to store it, not when it is just being discovered. The producer recommends a dry and dark place for it, which for a backup simply means a longer time in the same conditions.

Ingredients

• Powdered extract from marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis)
• Extraction ratio declared by the producer: 10:1
• Part of the plant: root
• Form: loose powder
• Groups of compounds mentioned by the producer for this raw material: mucilages, pectins, flavonoids

The entire characteristic of this item lies in the notation 10:1. It refers to the ratio between the dried root and the finished powder (how much raw material was used for one part of the extract) and is information about the degree of concentration, not about the content of a specific compound. The producer records the same ratio in all weights of this item, so with the backup package, nothing changes except for the amount of powder.

Mucilages, pectins, and flavonoids are listed 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. It is worth knowing this before purchasing, as the difference between an extract described by a ratio and an extract standardized to a specific compound is real, and this product card belongs to the first group.

Thus, the notation 10:1 should be read together with the mass of the package: these are two numbers that the card presents side by side and which together indicate how much concentrated powder you have in hand.

Specification

How to use

The producer defines this item as a collector’s material: it is not intended for direct consumption or smoking, and this purpose is binding. Everything you realistically do with such a package comes down to keeping the powder in the state it arrived in, and with a backup for longer, this is more important than with a small package. The starting point is the recommendation from the card: a dry and dark place.

• Keep the powder in its original, tightly sealed package
• Choose a dry and dark place - not a windowsill or a shelf above the stove
• Open the package as infrequently as possible; fine powder absorbs moisture from the air
• Store out of reach of children and pets
• Do not permanently transfer the contents to a ziplock bag - plastic promotes moisture

For whom

This item is for those who collect powdered plant extracts and know the difference between an extract described by a ratio and whole dried raw material. Marshmallow is a classic in such a collection - the plant has been present in European herbalism for centuries, so it finds its way to the shelf more because of its history than novelty.

The 25 g package is usually chosen by those who already know this brand: it is a backup format, not a sample, and if you are just checking how such powder looks and how to store it, it is wiser to start with a smaller package. However, it is not a product for someone looking for raw material to prepare an infusion or to consume in any form: the producer explicitly excludes such use.

What goes into the collection is exactly this description provided by the card: marshmallow root, ratio 10:1, loose powder, storage in a dry and dark place, and the producer with the address. Sales are conducted exclusively to adults.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the notation 10:1 mean?

This is the ratio between the mass of dried raw material and the mass of the finished extract - the notation indicates how much root was used for one part of the powder. This is the value declared by the product card and the same value appears on this page in the same form across all weights. The ratio does not indicate anything about the content of a specific compound and should not be confused with such a declaration.

How much does this package weigh and are there other sizes?

This package weighs 25 g. The producer also offers this same item in other weights, and we additionally have a smaller package available - it is the same extract from the same root, differing only in the amount of powder inside. You can check the availability of individual sizes on the card for each of them, as it changes independently and not all formats are always on the shelf at the same time.

How to store the powder after opening?

In the original, tightly sealed package, in a dry and dark place - this is what the producer’s card states. In practice, this means a closed cupboard instead of a windowsill and a shelf above the stove. Fine powder absorbs moisture from the air, so the less frequently you open the package and the less light reaches it, the better for the contents. Clumping of the powder is usually a signal that the package has been in too humid a place.

How does this extract differ from dried root?

Dried root is the whole raw material, in pieces or ground. This extract is its concentrated form: the card declares a ratio of 10:1 between the mass of dried root and the mass of the finished powder, and the part of the plant remains the same - marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis). Thus, they differ in the degree of concentration and form, loose powder instead of whole raw material.

Variants and category

We also offer the same extract in a smaller package - they differ only in the amount of powder in the package. Both items can be found in the Herbs category.
