Nutrina and Standard Vitamins Products

HERBS AND PLANTS FROM NATURE'S PHARMACY

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.
