NOW Standardized Extract Herb Supplements
Standardized Extracts vs Whole Herbs
The chemical makeup of an whole herb can vary depending on a variety of factors. First, the environment in which the plant has been grown
has an effect on the constituents of the herb. The time of year it is harvested, the soil in which it is grown,
and the weather all influence the overall quality of the final product. Second, methodology plays a role. For example,
the age of the plant at harvest, the exact part of the plant being used, and processing techniques can all make a difference.
Finally, each plant or population of plants has its own individual genetics, thus adding another source of end product variation.
A standardized herbal extract is an herb extract with one or more components present in a given amount,
usually the one thought to be the active compound.The intention behind the standardization of herbs is to guarantee
that the consumer is getting a product in which the chemistry is consistent and you are assured of a constant dose of that particular compound.
In a whole herb, you do not have that guarantee of consistency.
