How does Gaia Herbs standardize its products?
Through a process referred to as “Full Spectrum Process” Gaia Herbs is able to guarantee the potency and consistency of its products without compromising the “wholeness” characteristics of the plant. To date Gaia Herbs is the only extraction facility to standardize its extracts through this Full Spectrum Process. This Full Spectrum Process standardization is accomplished through four specific procedures: • Agricultural Testing: At Gaia Herb Farm, the primary supplier of organic herbs used in the extraction of Gaia Herbs products, analytical testing is carried out through HPLC (High Pressure Liquid Chromatography) while the plants are still in their developmental stage. The test results enable us to harvest the plant at the peak of its therapeutic activity. In this way Gaia Herbs is able to capture a consistent range of the plants bioactivity before the plant is extracted. • Extraction Methodology: Extraction techniques are set up using only pure USP grade grain alcohol and pure spring
