Select premium standardized botanical extracts manufactured under GMP systems
Founded in 2012, Chengdu Chenlv Herb Co., Ltd. (Chenlv Herb) is recognized as a national high-tech enterprise dedicated to the research, development, and scalable industrial production of premium botanical extracts and natural pharmaceutical intermediates. Driven by our philosophy of "homology of medicine and food" coupled with clean modern biotechnology, we resolve the industry's critical need for high-purity and biologically active raw materials.
From our advanced facility located in the heart of Sichuan, we operate extraction processes that preserve the raw phytochemistry of medicinal plants, primarily serving the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and premium animal nutrition sectors. Our global customer footprint spans North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the domestic market, providing consistent material batches under strict GMP, ISO, and Halal-Kosher guidelines.
"Chenlv Herb specializes in bridging the gap between natural botanical resources and high-performance applications, assuring full batch predictability, zero trace pesticide residue, and custom active-ingredient assay standardization."
Deep research on biological compounds, extraction protocols, cost variables, and global distribution dynamics.
Wild Nettle Root (Urtica dioica) is a biologically dense botanical raw material highly sought after in the pharmaceutical and male nutraceutical sectors. Unlike the leaf portion, which is dominated by chlorophyll and flavonoids, the root contains a distinct matrix of sterols (specifically Beta-sitosterol), lignans (including 3,4-divanillyltetrahydrofuran), scopoletin, and unique polysaccharides.
In clinical applications, the phytosterols within wild nettle root display a profound affinity for binding with Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG). By competing with endogenous hormones at the SHBG receptor sites, the bioactives facilitate an optimization of free testosterone levels in the human bloodstream. Additionally, these molecules inhibit the activity of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, slowing down the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) — a key biochemical trigger for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and androgenic hair thinning.
The potency of standard Nettle Root extracts begins with the sourcing matrix. Wild nettle roots are harvested during the late autumn or early spring seasons when the plant is in its vegetative latency. During this phase, all secondary metabolites migrate and concentrate in the subterranean root rhizomes. Sourced primarily from the pristine high-altitude regions of Sichuan and the Qinling Mountains, the raw materials are manually excavated, thoroughly washed with purified water, and rapidly dehydrated at low temperatures to prevent enzymatic degradation of sensitive glycosides.
| Active Compound Sourced | Standard Testing Assay | Concentration Range Available | Primary Application Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beta-Sitosterol | HPLC / Gas Chromatography | 0.8% - 1.5% Standardized | Prostate Health & BPH Prevention |
| Lignans (3,4-DivanillylTHF) | HPLC-DAD | ≥ 1.0% to 5.0% Standardized | Free Testosterone Modulation |
| Scopoletin | High-Performance LC | Standardized Trace Reference | Anti-inflammatory & Vascular Support |
| Extract Ratios (Concentrate) | Physical Yield Analytics | 4:1, 10:1, 20:1 Ratios | General Dietary Supplements & Blends |
For global sourcing managers and procurement directors, navigating the wild nettle root pricelist requires a deep understanding of macroeconomic and chemical variables. B2B bulk pricing is determined by:
How Chenlv Herb ensures zero-defect bulk supply through next-generation manufacturing platforms.
We employ multi-stage countercurrent extraction systems that continuously circulate food-grade solvents through botanical beds, recovering up to 98% of target active components while reducing heat-induced oxidation.
Our extraction facility is engineered with a closed-loop vacuum concentration system, recovering ethanol dynamically. This lowers energy footprints, reduces waste, and helps maintain a highly competitive export pricelist.
Equipped with state-of-the-art HPLC, GC, and AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy) systems, our in-house lab tests each batch for heavy metal limits, residual solvents, and active molecule percentages.
Global supply chains face regular bottlenecks, from maritime shipping disruptions to import compliance hold-ups. Chengdu Chenlv Herb minimizes procurement risks for international buyers by utilizing pre-validated freight pathways and maintaining buffer stocks.
Our geographic placement in Chengdu, a logistics hub linking East Asia directly to Central Europe via rail and international cargo routes, gives us shipping choices that bypass typical port congestions, assuring your project deadlines are always met.

Where science meets nature: Next-generation projects in development at Chenlv Herb.
Our R&D roadmap focuses on commercializing Subcritical Water Extraction (SWE) for our root extracts, including wild nettle root. By utilizing pressurized water at temperatures between its boiling point and critical point (100°C to 374°C), we manipulate the dielectric constant of water to mimic organic solvents. This allows for a clean, chemical-solvent-free extraction of targeted lignans and sterols, aligning with global demand for clean-label raw materials.
Furthermore, we are optimizing chromatography isolation techniques using food-grade resins to refine active molecules like Beta-sitosterol to higher concentrations, without producing heavy chemical waste.
