Natural Extracts

In contrast to synthetic drugs containing chemically active substances, they consist of a plethora of natural compounds that activate or modulate various target systems in an organism. Herbal medicinal products can be variable in their composition. Therefore, to obtain consistent efficacy and safety, standardised medicinal plant extracts or pharmaceutical natural extracts products are being used. Evidence-based phytotherapy makes use of scientifically verified efficacy and safety by randomized controlled clinical trials. In general, herbal medicinal products or natural extracts products are better tolerated and provide a superior benefit-risk ratio to synthetic drugs. Therefore, evidence-based phyto-pharmaceuticals increasingly mentioned in clinical practice guidelines are first-line therapy in various diseases and indications.

The term phyto-pharmacon / phyto-pharmaceutical is derived from the Greek designations phytón for plant and phármakon for medicine. Basically, these are herbal remedies which are prepared from herbal substances or natural extracts products like dried plant parts such as leaves, blossom, herb, bark, or the roots traditionally already known to cure undesired conditions or illnesses. Today, most herbal preparations are extracts from herbal substances in optimized form with known extraction solvent, drug-extract ratios and processing steps finalized as pharmacologically active dry extract.
