Description
Salvia miltiorrhiza ,also known as red sage, Chinese sage, tan shen, or danshen, is a perennial plant in the genus Salvia, highly valued for its roots in traditional Chinese medicine. Native to China and Japan, it grows at 90 to 1,200 m (300 to 3,940 ft) elevation, preferring grassy places in forests, hillsides, and along stream banks. The specific epithet miltiorrhiza means "red ochre root". miltiorrhiza is a deciduous perennial with branching stems that are 30 to 60 cm (0.98 to 1.97 ft) tall, with widely spaced leaves that are both simple and divided. The .3 m (0.98 ft) inflorescences are covered with hairs and sticky glands.

Most Salvia seeds have a higher germination rate when exposed to light, though it is not required.
Raw Material ControlOrigin Makes The Difference
The quality of the starting material is an essential prerequisite,since it may affect all the subsequent phases. Hence GMPs are applied already from these early steps to guarantee the characteristics of the final product. At this stage,there are a number of measures we employ:
√ supplier inspection and qualification
√ area selection
√ control of:
– harvesting period and harvesting method
– drying conditions
– storage

√ botanical identification of the plant
√ quarantine of the biomass under monitoredconditions
√ microbiological analysis
√ chemical analysis
√ control of contaminants, including:
– pesticides
– aflatoxins
– heavy metals
only after all of these controls will the raw material be released for further processing or rejected due to non conformance with our strict requirements.
