Plants are sophisticated organisms consisting of thousands of organic compounds. When using herbs therapeutically, we are usually interested in one or more of these compounds which has biological activity. Standardization is simply the use of analytical bioassays to verify a measurable and consistent content of known active constituents and/or biological activity. It does not change or process the herb in any way.

In Ayurveda, we of course understand that the entire plant and all of its constituents are important. Standardization allows us to use certain known constituents as markers. If these marker constituents are present in a specified quantity, we know the herb has been grown properly and is natural and authentic.

The National Institute Of Ayurvedic Medicine is proud to supply the following
