Welcome to Kangyuan Herb, your trusted source for premium plant extracts. We understand that navigating the world of botanical ingredients can bring up many questions. This FAQ guide is designed to provide clear, concise answers to some of the most common inquiries we receive about plant extracts, their uses, and our commitment to quality.
What are Plant Extracts?
Plant extracts are concentrated forms of beneficial compounds derived from plants. These compounds, known as phytochemicals, are responsible for the plant’s unique properties, including its flavor, aroma, color, and medicinal effects. Through various extraction methods, we isolate and concentrate these valuable components, making them readily available for use in a wide range of products.
What are the Primary Uses of Plant Extracts?
Plant extracts are incredibly versatile and are used across numerous industries:
- Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: For their health-promoting properties, such as antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and immune boosters.
- Food & Beverage: As natural flavorings, colorants, and preservatives.
- Cosmetics & Personal Care: For their skin-benefiting properties, including anti-aging, soothing, and moisturizing effects.
- Pharmaceuticals: As active ingredients in traditional and modern medicines.
- Animal Nutrition: To enhance animal health and performance.
How are Plant Extracts Produced?
The production of plant extracts involves several key steps:
- Raw Material Sourcing: We carefully select high-quality botanical raw materials.
