Description
Our natural CO2 supercritical extract of nettle root for foods is a highly valued functional product, created using a gentle technology that preserves the full spectrum of the plant’s bioactive compounds. The international name of the product is Nettle Root natural CO2 supercritical extract, and the botanical name is Urtica Dioica, part of the Urticaceae family. It originates from Bulgaria – a country with strong traditions in harvesting and applying herbal raw materials of proven quality. The root extract is derived entirely from nettle roots cultivated naturally, without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or artificial enhancers. The extraction method – supercritical CO2 – enables the isolation of aromatic and nutritional components at low temperatures and without solvents, ensuring the preservation of full nutritional value. The consistency is liquid, the color ranges from dark greenish to brownish, and the aroma is medium to intense, earthy, herbal with light grassy notes. The nettle root extract is entirely natural, with no added colorants or preservatives, and contains only natural ingredients. It is suitable for use in specialized functional foods, dietary supplements with nutritional value, drinks with added benefits, and culinary products with a health-oriented focus. Rich in phytoactive compounds such as phytosterols, lignans, flavonoids, and silica, it has a positive impact on hormonal balance, metabolism, and the body's vitality. The uniqueness of this nettle root extract lies in its ability to combine a characteristic natural taste with scientifically proven benefits, making it a sought-after ingredient in the development of modern foods with a functional profile and clean label.

Production
The production of natural CO2 supercritical extract of nettle root for foods takes place in Bulgaria under strictly controlled conditions, combining traditional knowledge and modern technology for processing plant raw materials. The plant Urtica Dioica is cultivated entirely naturally, without the use of synthetic substances, utilizing only the roots – the part with the highest concentration of nutritional and functional components. After harvesting, the roots are dried and subjected to precise grinding and extraction via supercritical CO2 – a process that uses carbon dioxide under high pressure and controlled temperature to extract only the desired aromatic and nutritional compounds. This method does not involve heat, does not alter the chemical composition of the substances, and leaves no solvent residues, ensuring maximum purity, safety, and stability of the product. Small quantities – from 0.010 to 0.500 kg – are stored in dark glass bottles that protect against light and oxidation, while larger volumes – from 1 to 180 kg – are packed in aluminum bottles, cans, or drums that ensure protection and durability during long-term storage and transportation. The production process fully complies with international standards for safety and quality – including HACCP, GMP, and ISO – with every batch subjected to laboratory testing and accompanied by certificates of origin, microbiology, and purity. The entire production is focused on preserving the natural properties of the nettle root extract and achieving maximum functional value, with full traceability and transparency at every stage.
