The Chinese herbal extracts available here are 100 g extract powders prepared from single Chinese herbs at the concentration ratio of 5 to 1.

The available brand is Treasure of the East brand, whose producer has pioneered the research and manufacture of herbal extracts since early 1990 and is the top market leader of the field in the world. The herbal extracts are guaranteed to recapture the active ingredients in the raw herbs with added benefits of batch to batch consistency in quality, purity, and convenience in use.

To make the extracts, high quality raw herbs are first water extracted according to traditional Chinese medicine traditions, the extracted liquids are concentrated and then spray-dried to form fine powder and extract granules at low temperature. The extraction procedure has been studied and optimized for each individual herb based on its unique properties to maximize the recovery of its active ingredients. Strict quality controls are implemented from the sourcing of bulk herbs to the finished granules in compliance with the cGMP certification. Each batch of herbal granules are tested for heavy metals and microbes.

Compared to the raw herbs or simple herbal powders, Chinese herbal extracts are much purer and need to take much less amounts to achieve the same effect. They are convenient for use as well. We suggest to use single Chinese herbal extracts with caution. In TCM, Chinese herbs are mostly used in combination in patent Chinese medicines to enhance desirable action and to minimize any potential unwanted side effect.

Among many medicinal herbs, only a few have been subject to extensive scientific research and fully documented for their health benefits by both laboratory studies and human clinical trials. In these studies herbs are prepared into extracts in specific ways. Herbal extracts used in studies where health effects are shown are refered as standardized extracts.

ActiveHerb markets the very few herbs with demonstrated health benefits and few side effects. We only choose them in the form of standardized extracts in order for our customers to duplicate what people have benefited in the studies. Even more, we prepare the standardized extracts in the same form like tablets, capsule, or softgels as used in the trials. Our standardized herbal extracts are made of high quality herbs and carefully manufactured in FDA registered US facilities following GMP procedures.
