What are standardized herbal extracts ? Of all the herbs sold on the market, it is a specific type - the Standardized Herbal Extract -
that has been most extensively researched with benefits well documented by scientific studies. Our vitamin products are made of these superior quality herbal extracts. But what does standardization mean? Put simply, it is a standard measure of a particular herb's quality and activity. This measure is determined by how much of a special active or marker ingredient is in each herb.For example, Ginkgo Biloba is standardized by the special active ingredients - 24% flavone glycosides and 6% terpene lactones. With this extract you are assured of getting a consistent level of activity and benefits from Ginkgo in dose after dose. Non-standardized herbal extracts cannot claim a consistent percentage of activity in every dose so their potency and effect may vary.
PANAX GINSENG (Korean) : The herb that helps increase physical and mental endurance.
For over 2000 years, Ginseng has been used in the Far East as a tonic with revitalizing properties and to help boost energy. Ginseng is especially beneficial during times of stress and fatigue because it preserves glycogen, the glucose that is stored in the liver and muscle cells, by
increasing the use of fatty acid as a source of energy. It has been shown that the active compound, Ginsenosides, helps the body to respond to stress and is also noted for its endurance enhancing effects.
Ginseng is an all natural herb that is [1-4]:
- Used to improve physical and mental fatigue
- Used by students to avoid physical and mental fatigue and to improve cognitive functions.[5,6]
- Used by athletes to improve physical endurance [7]
- Used to treat diabetes because of possible sugar lowering activity[8,9]
