Visterra Burdock Root Extract: Detox, Body Cleansing, 500mg Capsules (126 Count)
Burdock root boasts a truly unique chemical composition, unmatched in the plant kingdom. Often called “Russian Ginseng,” it’s a key ingredient in numerous traditional Eastern medicine preparations. This extract is rich in amino acids, polysaccharides, inulin, palmitic and stearic acids, tannins, phytosterols, sitosterols, macro- and microelements, and other vital components.
The composition and biological activity of burdock root vary significantly depending on the harvest time. In 2003, Visterra researchers discovered L-β-asparagine crystals in spring-harvested burdock root extract – a compound absent in autumn harvests. Further research revealed significantly higher anti-tumor activity in the spring extract.
Scientific literature demonstrates that the anti-inflammatory activity of extracts from dried burdock root is considerably weaker than that of fresh root juice. Therefore, Visterra uses only fresh burdock root.
Visterra is the sole company in Russia processing fresh May-harvested burdock root, avoiding drying or prolonged storage. Our facility is located directly at the harvest and cultivation site. Since 2003, our specialists have researched burdock root extract composition and properties, optimizing processing methods. May-harvested burdock root exhibits the highest activity. Since 2005, we’ve cultivated burdock on our own fields, producing over 150 tons annually since 2007. In 2006, R.S. Boev defended his PhD dissertation on the chemical analysis of burdock roots as a source of anti-cancer bioactive substances.
All burdock root is processed fresh during May, resulting in a thick extract with a 60-65% dry matter concentration. This extract is stored long-term in refrigerated chambers. As needed, it’s carefully dried using low-temperature vacuum-pulse technology and encapsulated. The packaging clearly displays the product’s packaging date.

L-β-asparagine, isolated from burdock root, demonstrates dose-dependent apoptosis-inducing (programmed cell death) effects on tumor cells. Experimental studies on cell cultures and transplantable tumors have shown anti-tumor and antimetastatic activity for both the aqueous extract of burdock root and the isolated L-β-asparagine.
