2 The mystery of herbs The mastery of science The world of herbs holds a multitude of knowledge and that is no secret. That the medicinal qualities of nature have nurtured mankind for centuries is no news. But, that this wealth of health is now available in a reliable form is quite welcome and reassuring. The effects of varied growth environments on the levels of actives and the presence of multiple phytonutrient constituents make it difficult to establish compositional consistency in natural medicinal resources. Additionally, there has always been a dispute among experts regarding analytical methods and modes of administration. But the potency was never questionable. The power of the herb source was never a doubt. Is there a way the source could always be dependable in quality and quantity as well? At Sabinsa Corporation, we pursue this mission with a passion. We appreciate that when the wisdom from ancient medicine meets the standardization of the lab, the world moves towards better health. Unlocking the mystery of the herbs, extracting their goodness, using science to standardize natural materials and not just opening up new uses of known elements, but gifting the world with innovative active molecules to catalyze reliable and responsible healthcare. Welcome to the world of Sabinsa, where Our Innovation Is Your Answer.
