Lemon balm extract is a well‑accepted herbal raw material derived from the aerial parts of Melissa officinalis, also known as lemon balm. Featuring a light lemon‑like herbal note, this plant ingredient is widely used in modern dietary supplements focused on mood support and daily relaxation.

Our lemon balm extract is produced by water‑ethanol extraction combined with spray‑drying technology. The production workflow removes coarse plant fibre, particulate impurities and irrelevant plant residues, while preserving rosmarinic acid and other native plant compounds. Many low‑grade lemon balm powders show big batch‑to‑batch variation in active content and carry excessive insoluble plant debris. Our standardized extract delivers consistent quality, fine powder texture and good flow property, gaining trust from supplement formulators across global markets. All harvested lemon balm herb goes through careful sorting to remove deteriorated and foreign plant material. No artificial colours, synthetic preservatives or unnecessary fillers are added during processing.
