[SPAM]KW Botanicals

[Guest guest]

David,

 

I think many herbal businesses are now selling 5:1 extracts and I believe Blue

Poppy carries some even stronger.Just compare prices at the different vendors.

[sPAM] KW Botanicals

 

 

Has anyone heard of KW Botanicals and if so what are your thoughts on

them?

 

They provide fluid extracts for Chinese herbs and formulas and state

that they are " 1:2 botanical extracts (herb to liquid), yielding a

full complement of alcohol and water soluble active ingredients. "

 

Just curious...

Mike, I think David says the herb to liquid ration is 2 to 1 which is

different than our often debated 5:1 or 8:1 or 20:1 discussions about

the relative strength of different companies extraction concentrations.

These are liquid extracts, so the ratio would be 1:2, not 2:1.

Standard tinctures are 1:5. Fluid extracts, where the alcohol is

partly evaporated off, are a maximum of 1:1. The first number is

grams of starting material; the second number is milliliters of

finished liquid product.
