What is the difference between powder, 4:1, %, etc?
Whole herbs and extracts are very different products.
Whole botanicals might include every part of a plant, such as roots or stems. In contrast, an extract contains specific botanical compounds and is standardized to a particular concentration.
Extracts are characterized by their potency percentage, ensuring consistency with advertised potency.
NutriCargo Whole Ingredients

NutriCargo Extracts
Extracts contain particular compounds derived from the botanical, which are indicated by the "%" sign. Standardized extracts guarantee each batch has the specified amount of active ingredient, such as Acerola 10% standardized to 10% vitamin C.
NutriCargo Extract Ratios
Ratio extracts are identified by the ratio in their product name, like 4:1, 5:1, 10:1, etc. A 4:1 extract means four parts of the original plant are concentrated into one part of the final extract, enhancing potency.
The ratio X:Y reflects the dry plant material (X) to final extract quantity (Y). Y is the weight of dry plant material, while X is the weight or volume of the extract.
Essential activity found in quantity Y of the extract is equivalent to quantity X of the dry plant. For example, a 4:1 extract means 4 kg of raw herbs are concentrated into 1 kg of powdered extract.
