The full spectrum extraction is a particularly gentle process for obtaining plant extracts.strong data-end="233" data-start="212">plant extracts, in which the natural active ingredient spectrum of the plant is largely completely preserved. In contrast to isolated individual substances, not only one main active ingredient is extracted here, but a large number of secondary plant substances, terpenes, flavonoids, bitter substances, essential oils and other bioactive components. These synergistic effects are considered particularly effective in phytotherapy, as the complex composition of the plant can improve the bioavailability, effect and tolerability of the extract.
Depending on the plant species and the desired active ingredient profile, various extraction methods are used in full-spectrum extraction, such as ethanol, water, COâ‚‚ or ultrasound extraction. A low processing temperature is important in order to protect heat-sensitive compounds. The aim is to transfer the natural ratio of ingredients into the end product as unchanged as possible. The quality of such an extract depends heavily on the raw material, the extraction method and the post-processing.
Full-spectrum extracts are used in naturopathy, nutritional supplements, cosmetics and functional medicine - e.g. in natural medicine. e.g. with hemp plants (CBD oil with terpenes), curcuma, ginger, ginseng or ashwagandha. The holistic approach not only offers a broader spectrum of efficacy, but also a higher tolerance, as the substances can modulate each other. Researchers are increasingly discussing the importance of the so-called "entourage effect", in which the combination of natural substances leads to better results than isolated active ingredients.Important facts about full-spectrum extraction:-
