Expect positive effects.
Whole plant preparations offer therapeutic potential, by complex interactions between various compounds in plants and our bodies. Also whole plant extracts often contain natural compounds that can enhance the bio-availability of other active constituents. Bio-availability refers to the body's ability to absorb and utilize a substance. Some compounds in plants can improve the absorption of other compounds, allowing for better utilization by the body.
Expect the unexpected positive effects.
Whole plant preparations can provide complementary actions. Different compounds within a plant or different plants can target multiple pathways or mechanisms in the body, working together to address various symptoms or imbalances. This multi-targeted approach can lead to more comprehensive and effective therapeutic outcomes.
Expect no side effects.
There is a natural balance found in whole plant preparations. They contain a range of compounds that work together and can mitigate or counteract potential side effects. This natural balance makes them gentler on the body and reduce the risk of adverse reactions.
Expect herbal preparations to NOT taste too good, but
When multiple active compounds from different plants interact, they can create a synergistic effect. This means that the combined action of these compounds produces a stronger and more beneficial effect than each compound would have on its own. The interaction between the compounds can enhance their individual properties and create a more potent therapeutic effect.
