FAQ

What's a standardised schisandra extract?

In contrast with ordinary plant powders, standardised plant extracts contain specific quantities of active ingredients. In order to manufacture a supplement based on plants, it is not sufficient to simply grind down just any part of the plant.

How are standardised schisandra extracts obtained?

The quantities of active ingredients in plants can vary considerably, as a result of the variety of plant used, the part of the plant used (the highest concentrations of active ingredients are usually to be found in a specific part of the plant: root, leaf, stem, flower, fruit) and the environment (climate, season, soil) in which the plant is grown. That's why the plants are first accurately identified and monitored before they are harvested. During the extraction of the plants, the active ingredients are dissolved. Thereafter, the solvent used (water or alcohol) is evaporated. As a final step, the concentrated extract is analytically controlled and the active ingredients are standardised.

Standardised schisandra extracts have several important advantages in comparison with ordinary schisandra powders:

* They guarantee the constant quality of the end product.

* They have a higher concentration of active ingredients as a result of the removal of the ballast substances.

* They can be kept for longer periods the ballast substances can't 'contaminate' the active ingredients any more.

* They have a higher level of bio-availability: they are more easily absorbed by the body.
