How is PADMA BASIC tested to ensure that it contains the correct amounts of the right herbs?
The method used to test PADMA BASIC is commonly known as chemical fingerprinting. This technique is used to identify components in a product based on their chemical constituents, such as tannins, flavonoids, saponins, bitter principles, and alkaloids. Technologies used to perform chemical fingerprinting include: thin layer chromatography (TLC), high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), and gas chromatography (GC).
