of botanical products?
In botanicals like ginseng and ginkgo, it is natural for the active ingredients found in them to vary among different plants and even within different parts of the same plant. It is impossible to control these natural variations. Therefore, it is important that standardization methods be used when these botanicals are processed for use as dietary supplements. These standardization methods ensure that the resulting botanical extract has consistent levels of the active ingredients for which the botanical has value as a dietary supplement.
