HOW DO WE JUDGE THE QUALITY AND POTENCY OF HERBAL PRODUCTS?

When it comes to quality, purity and potency of herbal adaptogens and other herbs, companies who make herbal products must be meticulous to guarantee that their products are of the highest quality. Herbs need to be handled properly and processed correctly to create potent and effective herbal preparations that will provide health benefits.

Unfortunately you can’t judge the potency of herbal products just by looking at them or tasting them but there are ways to evaluate the practices of a company and the quality of the products they produce.

The manufacturer should:

·       Follow good manufacturing practices

·       Be able to provide a lot-specific certificate of analysis for every ingredient

·       Directly source and keep records of all herbal ingredients

·       Submit products to a qualified lab for validation

·       Make the results available for review.
