Calaguala Leaf 4:1 Powdered Extract

4:1 is a reference to the strength of the evaporated decoction (alcohol and/or water) from which the concentrated herb powder is made: 4 parts of botanical to 1 part native extract, as the certificates of analysis say.

A standardized herbal extract is an herb extract that has one or more components present in a specific, guaranteed amount, usually expressed as a percentage. The intention behind the standardization of herbs is to guarantee that the consumer is getting a product in which the chemistry is consistent from batch to batch. Standardized extracts are usually in a base of the whole herb powder.

In most cases, ratio 4:1, 5:1, 10:1 herbal extracts are not as potent as standardized % herbal extracts, although, since concentrated, ratio extracts are usually more potent than whole herb.
