Tips

  • • Standardized extracts provide consistent dosing — important for herbs where potency varies.
  • • They are stronger than whole-herb preparations and may have different effects.
  • • Whole-herb preparations may contain beneficial synergistic compounds lost in extraction.

Standardized extracts are concentrated — do not exceed recommended doses. They may interact differently with medications than whole-herb preparations. Consult a healthcare provider if taking medications.

Follow manufacturer storage instructions. Typically store cool, dry, and away from light.
