ActiveHerb™ Single Herb Extracts
Same Benefits as Bulk herbs, Only Much Stronger
Instant Herbal Tea Made Easy!
ActiveHerb™ single herb extracts are 100 grams
extract granules prepared from single Chinese herbs at the concentration ratio of up to 30 to 1.
ActiveHerb single herb extracts are produced in collaboration with one of the largest and best known pharmaceutical companies in China
in its state-of-the-art cGMP-certified facility as a result of many years of research.
Single raw Chinese herb is tested for authenticity,
quality, and potency before a water extraction is made following traditional TCM methods. The extract liquid is concentrated at low temperature and
then spray-dried to form extract granules. Our proprietary technology optimizes on the unique properties of each individual herb to
maximize preservation of its active ingredients in full spectrum and guarantees quality consistency from batch to batch.

extract granules prepared from single Chinese herbs at the concentration ratio of up to 30 to 1.
To begin with, each herb needs to be properly identified by our professional staff using tools ranging from
organoleptic, microscopy, to TLC. The quality of the herbs is assessed to make sure only the premium
grade of herbs is used. This means the herbs are harvested at the right season and life cycle, and only
the beneficial part of the herbs are collected. Whenever possible, we use herbs grown in our own GAP
(Good Agriculture Practice) farms. As part of our GAP cultivation, we never use sulfur.
Some Chinese herbs require being properly processed to maximize their therapeutic value. Processing is also required, at times, to eliminate toxicity. At ActiveHerb, we follow the most stringent protocols to process such herbs before extraction.
Because each herb is different in terms of parts
used—leaves, roots, flowers or fruits—, the
density of the plant material, as well as active
ingredients etc., it is necessary to adjust the time
and the solvent volume used for soaking the herb
before extraction. It’s also necessary to adjust the
extracting temperature and duration in order to
get the active ingredients out of the herb.
Water is used as the main solvent in most TCM
herbal extraction practices. However, in cases of
active ingredients being more soluble in ethanol,
ethanol is used instead. Moreover, if herbs contain
essential oils, such oils are captured during
extraction. After a lengthy period of trial and error,
the best extracting protocol is established for each
herb and forms the SOP (Standard Operating
Procedure).
After extraction, the extraction liquid is recovered, condensed, and further dried. Here, again, depending
on the characteristic of each herb, different drying methods are applied such as low temperature vacuum
drying or spray drying. In this step, a minimal amount of filler (maltodextrin or dextrin) may be added to
achieve the optimal concentration, and to enhance the stability of finished products.
In the final step, extracts in the solid form are granulated by a proprietary procedure so that our extract
granules do not absorb moisture and stay separated. This is a distinct feature of our granules.
No production is considered finished without QA tests of finished products. Each batch of our granules is
tested for heavy metals and microbes, in addition to appearance and uniformity, moisture content,
solubility, and other tests as applied. Only the finished batches that meet all the specifications are
accepted. Our Certificate of Analysis, offered with each batch, attests to our commitment to product
quality.
In summary, our proprietary technology optimizes the unique properties of each individual herb to
ensure preservation of its active ingredients in full spectrum and guarantees quality consistency from
batch to batch.
