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.
