General Guidelines and information in comparing different herbal supplements. Always consider the following features :
1.Plant part which is therapeutic( Based on Scientific and Traditional evidence).

2. Herbal equivalent(Equiv.)--Conversion of Herbal Extract amount into Equivalent amount of Herb
3. Standardized (stand.)bioactive or phytochemical in the herb. The presence of standardized bioactive serves as a marker & a measure of the batch-to-batch therapeutic consistency of herbs. When standard bioactive can be claimed, it offers advantages over the Herbal equivalent alone on certain occasions.
4. Special Feature of the Herb used in the supplement if specified --like sustained release, bioavailability studies, Optimised or concentrated form. These could potentially provide a better bioequivalent at a lower dose as compared to just items 2 and 3 above.
