What is Organic Dandelion Root Powder?
Organic Dandelion Root Powder is meticulously produced from 100% pure, organically grown dandelion roots. The process involves carefully harvesting the roots, thorough washing, gentle drying at optimal temperatures to preserve their active compounds, and then finely milling them into a homogeneous, free-flowing powder. The organic certification guarantees that the dandelion plants are cultivated and processed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, GMOs, or artificial additives, aligning with strict clean-label and natural ingredient standards.
Organic Dandelion Root Powder is highly valued for its diverse array of naturally occurring compounds, including bitter principles, inulin (a prebiotic fiber), sesquiterpene lactones, and various vitamins and minerals. These compounds contribute to its well-documented health benefits:
- Liver & Gallbladder Support: Traditionally used to promote bile production and flow, aiding liver detoxification and fat digestion.
- Digestive Aid: The bitter compounds can stimulate digestive enzymes and enhance appetite, supporting overall digestive comfort.
- Gentle Diuretic: Helps the body eliminate excess fluid, contributing to natural cleansing processes.
- Prebiotic Benefits: Contains inulin, which acts as a prebiotic fiber to nourish beneficial gut bacteria.
- Antioxidant Properties: Provides natural antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress.
With its rich historical use, broad spectrum of benefits, and versatile nature, our Organic Dandelion Root Powder is the ideal ingredient for manufacturers looking to enhance the functional profile and appeal of their products with a pure, transparent, and efficacious botanical solution.

FAQs
Q: What are the primary active compounds in Dandelion Root Powder responsible for its benefits?
A: The primary active compounds include bitter principles (like taraxacin), inulin (a prebiotic fructan), and various sesquiterpene lactones. These collectively contribute to its liver-supporting, digestive, and diuretic effects.
Q: Is Organic Dandelion Root Powder water soluble?
A: Organic Dandelion Root Powder is dispersible in water, meaning it can be mixed into liquids. While some components will dissolve, it contains insoluble fiber, so it won’t fully dissolve into a clear solution. For applications requiring full solubility, an extract (not a whole powder) would be needed.
Q: What’s the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Dandelion Root Powder typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place (below 75°F / 24°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed, airtight packaging. It should be kept well-sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
Q: Is your Organic Dandelion Root Powder non-GMO?
A: Yes, as a certified organic product, our Organic Dandelion Root Powder is inherently Non-GMO, as it is derived from organically cultivated dandelion plants grown without genetically modified organisms.
Q: Can this powder be used in capsule or tablet formulations?
A: Absolutely. Its fine, uniform powder consistency makes it highly suitable for encapsulation, tableting, and blending into powdered supplement mixes, offering a convenient way to deliver its benefits.
