When purchasing herbal extracts for pharmaceutical or nutraceutical applications, standardization is a crucial factor that determines product quality and efficacy. Let’s understand what standardization means and why it matters.
What is Standardization?
Standardization is the process of ensuring that every batch of herbal extract contains a consistent, specified amount of one or more key active compounds. This guarantees that the product will deliver predictable results.
Why Standardization Matters
Consistency
Natural products can vary significantly in their active compound content due to factors like growing conditions, harvest time, and processing methods. Standardization ensures batch-to-batch consistency.
Efficacy
For therapeutic applications, knowing the exact concentration of active compounds is essential for determining appropriate dosages and ensuring product effectiveness.
Quality Control
Standardized extracts undergo rigorous testing using methods like HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) to verify active compound content.
Common Standardized Extracts
- Turmeric Extract: Standardized to 95% curcuminoids
- Green Tea Extract: Standardized to 50% EGCG
- Ashwagandha Extract: Standardized to 5% withanolides
- Boswellia Extract: Standardized to 65% boswellic acids
