Manjal Kilangu, biologically referred to as the dried rhizomes of Curcuma longa (Turmeric), has historically served as a foundational botanical agent in traditional medicine systems. Modern bioprocessing has elevated this raw material into one of the most highly sought-after sources of polyphenol molecules, predominantly the curcuminoids: curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin.
As a leading exporter and B2B global supplier, our enterprise bridges raw botanical sourcing with scientific extraction processes, delivering standardized powders, oleoresins, and hydrogenated metabolites (such as Tetrahydrocurcumin) tailored to industrial scale requisites. By optimizing farm-level drying protocols and adopting state-of-the-art solvent purification, we guarantee high concentrations of active bio-actives while keeping input costs competitive.
Our processing pipeline incorporates Supercritical CO₂ Extraction and green-solvent fractionations. This ensures that the delicate essential oils (turmerones) and non-volatile curcuminoids are recovered without thermal degradation. The raw plant material undergoes strict screening protocols to eliminate heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and pesticide residues, satisfying global European and United States pharmacopeia thresholds.
By keeping supply chains integrated, we act as a "Discount" supplier—not by compromising structural quality, but by implementing high-yield, smart industrial processes that reduce organic solvent usage, bypass redundant intermediaries, and optimize large-scale logistics footprints.
The primary pharmacological limitation of native curcuminoids extracted from Manjal Kilangu is their low oral bioavailability, caused by poor aqueous solubility, rapid systemic clearance, and metabolic conjugation. To solve this, our R&D initiatives focus on two core technical roadmaps:
1. Hydrogenated Metabolites (Tetrahydrocurcumin): Through catalytic hydrogenation of Curcumin, we produce high-purity Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC). THC is a colorless, highly stable metabolite that exhibits superior antioxidant activities compared to curcumin. Because it is white, it eliminates the formulation staining problems common in cosmetics, making it highly requested in skin-whitening and anti-inflammatory formulations.
2. Delivery Vehicle Engineering: By leveraging Self-Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (SEDDS), nano-liposomes, and cyclodextrin complexes, we offer customizable variations of turmeric extracts that increase gastrointestinal absorption rates by up to 20-fold, reducing the required clinical dosage.
By 2030, our goal is to transition our extraction facilities to a zero-carbon model. By utilizing recycled biological solvents and solar-powered extraction loops, our botanical supply chains will align with the carbon-neutral manufacturing targets of international pharmaceutical brands.
Our raw Manjal Kilangu extracts are processed into high-density granulations tailored for capsule filling and tableting. We offer standardized 95% Curcuminoids with added black pepper extract (Piperine) to improve absorption. This provides nutraceutical brands with clean labels and clinically backed active ingredients.
With cosmetic companies shifting toward plant-derived active compounds, our colorless Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) acts as an excellent tyrosinase inhibitor. It reduces melanin synthesis, calms skin inflammation, and offers anti-photoaging properties, without affecting the aesthetic appearance of finished creams and serums.
We provide natural food-grade curcumin oleoresins that replace artificial yellow dyes. These extracts offer clean-label color properties while doubling as a natural antioxidant preservative system, extending the shelf-life of organic food products.
Chengdu Chenlv Herb Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Chenlv Herb") was established in 2012 as a high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D, production, and sales of botanical extracts and natural pharmaceutical ingredients. Committed to providing high-purity, highly active, and premium-quality natural raw materials, the company serves diverse industries, including pharmaceuticals, health supplements, food, and cosmetics.
Established In: 2012
At Chengdu Chenlv Herb Co., Ltd., we combine traditional extraction heritage with modern Industry 4.0 automation. Our plant operations are regulated by SCADA control systems, ensuring precise control over temperature, solvent flow rates, and pressures. This level of automation keeps batch-to-batch variance under 2%, which is essential for pharmaceutical-grade applications.
To secure a reliable supply chain, we maintain long-term agreements with specialized agricultural cooperatives in optimal cultivation zones. This guarantees a steady stream of raw rhizomes and insulates our clients from seasonal price fluctuations. Our domestic logistics hubs and partnerships with global shipping lines ensure prompt delivery, even during peak global demand periods.
