Chinese herbal extract is a type of traditional Chinese medicine product with relatively clear pharmacological properties and strict quality standards, obtained by extracting, separating and processing Chinese medicinal materials or Chinese herbal formulas using advanced technology. It is a new product form in the international natural medicine and health product market, the main raw material for plant medicine preparations, and can be widely used in natural health products. According to the nature of the extracts, they can be divided into four categories: single herb extracts (using different extraction methods), such as Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, ginkgo biloba leaves, siraitia grosvenorii, Andromeda dillenii, etc; Compound Chinese herbal extracts such as Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang, Si Shen Tang, Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, Qi Bao Mei Ran Dan, Xiao Yao San, etc; Monomers of traditional Chinese medicine such as ginkgo flavonoids, ginkgolides, soy isoflavones, Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides, cordycepin, etc; There is still controversy over derivatives of traditional Chinese medicine extracts such as indigo carmine from indigo naturalis
The chemical composition of standard extracts of traditional Chinese medicine is usually an Active Components Group composed of multiple pharmacological active substances in a certain proportion. It has the characteristics of multi-component traditional Chinese medicine and better reflects the specific traditional Chinese medicine effects of the original Chinese medicinal materials and compound formulas, but has considerable advantages in quality control.
