What are standardized herbs, and why does Performance Lab® use them?Updated 8 months ago

Standardization is a process where herbs are lab-calibrated to guarantee an exact level of their most active, health-promoting compounds.

Many factors can affect an herb's potency, such as poor growing seasons, soil quality, time of harvest and environmental toxins. Standardization ensures that despite these variables, the herb will consistently deliver the exact botanical active ingredients that work best to support health.

Since standardization supplies customized, precise levels of active compounds, it can also be used to increase an herb's overall potency and improve an herb's safety.
