Plant Powders or Extracts?
A plant extract is a concentrated form of the
plant it supplies
most of the
plant's active ingredients. But a plant is a highly complex organism with hundreds of different compounds. Although we know well the effects of different herbs (many have, after all, been tested on humans for thousands of years), we do not always know with certainty which plant chemicals produce
these effects. Not all compounds in herbs have been identified When a plant is concentrated by extraction some of die beneficial ingredients can
remain in the plant instead of in the extract these is why most of die Nutrina herb products contain a combination of both extract and
plant powder. This ensures that you get both a strong and effective product and all the
plant's beneficial ingredients.
