FULL-SPECTRUM HERBS, PLANTS & ALGAE

Our Whole Foods are crafted by Mother Nature. In our view, the era of isolated supplements, synthetic vitamins and minerals or standardised herbs, is over. We believe that plant-based or certified organic supplements offer superior sources with broader effects and better absorption in the body. Inspired by the power of Mother Nature, we are pleased to offer supplements that align with this philosophy.

The end of standardised herbs
Conventional herbs are often standardised by extracting a single compound from the plant, under the assumption that the “active ingredient” has been identified. This isolated compound is extracted using chemicals such as acetone (nail polish remover), hexane, or extreme heat. The rest of the plant is either damaged or discarded. As a result, isolated or standardised herbs lose the power and wisdom of the whole plant.

Orchestra
We like to explain this pharmaceutical approach differently. It’s best to compare a herb to a beautiful, full orchestra. This orchestra produces hundreds of different instruments, creating a rich and harmonious sound. Conventional thinking assumes that a single instrument (for example, curcumin from turmeric) can deliver the same powerful effect as the entire orchestra. This is what standardisation means, only the flute is chosen, and the rest is considered “not important.”

At Royal Green, we believe that the strength, energy, and safety of a herb lie in its entirety. We want the whole orchestra, and preferably as large as possible. The various instruments enhance each other’s effects, resulting in a far greater overall impact. At Royal Green, we preserve the wholeness of the herb, delivering all its nutrients, and, whenever possible, ensure it is certified organic and concentrated to maintain the full integrity of each herb or plant.
