Botanical powders are among the most commonly used natural botanical ingredients in dietary supplements. Due to a lack of dispersibility, professionals are sometimes reluctant to use these powders, which are obtained by grinding dry plant-derived raw material.

Maxime Angelucci, CEO at Natural Origins, explains how the Optifine botanical powder product range can help solve this problem.

What needs to be checked prior to choosing a botanical powder?

As with all natural ingredients it is essential to pay attention to certain things when choosing a botanical powder:

• the quality of the raw material: richness in active components and absence of contaminants
• compliance with grinding, pasteurisation and decontamination stages

What are the advantages of a botanical powder?
