Botanical Extracts Explained
A short read · Ingredients
Labels use shorthand that can look confusing. Two ideas explain most of it: ratio and standardization.
Extract ratio
A 100:1 extract means roughly 100 parts of plant material were concentrated into 1 part of extract. A small milligram amount can therefore represent a lot of raw plant.
Standardization
Plants vary from harvest to harvest. Standardizing means adjusting the extract to a set level of a marker compound, such as icariin in Horny Goat Weed.
Why printed amounts help
When every ingredient shows its own amount, you can compare products fairly. Read the ingredient pages, starting with Tongkat Ali.
