Botani+: a quality guarantee brand for plants and natural extracts

Written by Maxime Angelucci | December 05, 2024

What is the Botani+ quality brand validation?

 

Botani+ is a quality guarantee brand validated by the INPI (National Institute of Industrial Property), specially designed for botanical supply chain products, particularly medicinal botanicals and natural botanical extracts. Botani+ guarantees the phytochemical composition of the botanical ingredients used in the finished product. It is recognised by the general public via an easily identifiable logo.

 

Objectives of the Botani+ approach

 

To reassure and provide transparency to consumers of food supplements on the quality of the botanicals used in the finished product.

 

Two key words define this label

 

  • Safety for the consumer: the right botanical and no adulteration in the food supplement. 
  • Efficiency for the consumer: the correct dosage and concentration of the botanical expected in the formula.

 

What does Botani+ verify in terms of botanical quality?

 

  1. Botanical identity: validates that the botanical used is the one described in the supplier's specification.
  2. Ingredient concentration: certifies that the ratio or % of active ingredient mentioned in the customer's specification is indeed the one specified.
  3. Adulteration: verifies that no other source, botanical or otherwise, has been used to obtain the botanical ingredient.

 

 

Botani+ methods for botanical quality

 

The Botani+ validation is based on proven and reliable HPLC chromatographic methods.

 

This enables:

  • A discriminating response.
  • A search for predicted markers and to see unpredicted ones.
  • Structural information on the botanical ingredient profile.

 

Why Natural Origins chooses the Botani+ label for botanical quality?

Botani+ enables us to prove to our customers and consumers that the very best botanicals have been used in the food supplements they consume, while guaranteeing their efficacy and safety.
