Rooibos Extract

Rooibos Extract – Caffeine-Free Antioxidant for Functional Beverages

Product Overview

Rooibos Extract is a natural, caffeine-free herbal extract derived from the fermented leaves of Aspalathus linearis, a South African plant renowned for its mild flavor, deep amber color, and antioxidant richness. Naturally low in tannins and rich in polyphenols (aspalathin and nothofagin), Rooibos Extract supports immune health, cardiovascular balance, and digestive wellness. It is ideal for functional beverages, herbal teas, nutraceuticals, and cosmetic formulations.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply premium Rooibos Extract processed under ISO 22000-certified food safety systems. Our extracts are available in spray-dried and water-soluble forms, offering high clarity, stable color, and consistent antioxidant activity.
