Whats the difference between premium and standardized herbs?
Our premium herbs are also called “whole or full-spectrum” herbs. They contain all the natural components of the herb as it exists in nature. The amount of active components vary according to the conditions of the growing season, just as with any plant or crop. Conversely, standardized herbs are designed by isolating the active component(s) of a particular herb. This isolated ingredient becomes the marker used to measure the potency of the final extract. By combining extracts from the same herb, scientists can concentrate the active ingredients to specific levels, creating consistent, reliable doses of the active principles of an herb. Some herbalists recommend full-spectrum herbs, while others prefer the standardized extracts for the consistency of the active components.
