The reason why Boiron insist on using fresh plants as raw materials
According to the French Pharmacopoeia, freshly harvested plants can ensure the best quality and maximize the content of active ingredients. Boiron uses fresh plants as much as possible, and the plants are cleaned and packed in inflatable packaging within 72 hours after harvesting and delivered to the laboratory by refrigerated truck.
For wild plants like Arnica flower, we can ensure high-quality raw materials only by delivering them within 72 hours after harvesting.
Why does Boiron need to ensure the freshness of Arnica flower during the manufacturing process? Based on our studies, it shows the significant superiority of fresh Arnica flower compared to dry ones.
- There are significant differences in the composition of the Arnica montana Mother Tincture (MT) fresh plant and dry plant
- The drying process impacts the composition of the dry TM
- Some Active Principles are more present in fresh than in dry products
