Herbs have been a part of the human tradition since ancient times. Today, modern science continues to discover the mechanisms behind these historically celebrated botanicals. Nature’s Bounty is proud to take this long standing herbal tradition to a new level with whole herb concentrates in convenient, easy-to-swallow softgels. Each softgel provides you with whole herb benefit. We start with the whole raw herb, eliminate the bulk of the cellulose and other inert ingredients to produce a concentrated extract that retains the botanical’s original phytochemicals. These extracts are traditionally described as a ratio. A 4:1 extract, for example, means that four parts of raw herb have been condensed down to one part herbal concentrate. To ensure consistent product quality, extracts are analyzed and indexed using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) or Infra Red Spectroscopy. These analyses provide a “snapshot” of the extract’s unique chemical profile, allowing us to confirm the supplement’s whole herb potency. Furthermore, to protect the supplement’s potency and to prevent oxidation, the extracts are hermetically sealed and then individually blister packed.

Nature’s Bounty’s Guarantee: We use only the finest quality herbs and spices. Each is screened and finely milled for quick release.
