All herbal formulations at Herbotek find their roots in classical Ayurvedic texts like Charak Samhita, Sushrut Samhita, Antanghradayam, Bhav Prakash Nighantu and Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India.

A team of botanists and Ayurveda Experts at our R&D Center review these scholarly texts and shortlist suitable herbs for further research. Herbotek's team studies the geographical and seasonal variations of the marker profiles of these herbs. Phytochemical profiling is established from different seasons and geographical locations to ensure batch-to-batch consistency, good quality, and standardization. The quality of herbs is further maintained either by cultivating herbs under the supervision of agricultural scientists or by practicing sustainable collection and harvesting practices under the supervision of trained botanists (in case of herbs sourced from the wild). Herbs have to further pass through stringent quality checks as per internal specifications laid out by the team. 

Scientists have adopted bioassay guided fractionation and purification technology to identify active fractions. This ensures that the herbal preparation is standardized, and the formulation has the required levels of bioactive compounds to elicit the pharmacological response. This technology is being leveraged for innovative treatments of ailments, including cancer, diabetes, and depression, as well as for specialized products in skin, oral, and hair care categories. Super Critical Fluid (SCF) extraction and Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) are known technologies to extract bioactive compounds from herbs.
