Standardisation process
Standardisation begins with cultivation

To ensure that Pharmaton´s high quality standards are always maintained, the cultivation of ginseng is regularly controlled by Pharmaton´s experts.
Selection of the raw material

The ginseng roots of appropriate age are carefully cleaned and dried in a natural way, and undergo physical and organoleptic controls. The individual ginsenosides in the roots are identified and measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Analysis

The roots undergo complete physical, chemical and microbiological analysis before they are released for extraction and standardisation.
Extraction method

The extraction process developed by Pharmaton is known only to the company and is ideal for extracting all medicinally relevant components from the plant. The extraction is performed using a hydroalcoholic solvent (ethanol/water).
Concentration and sterilisation

The liquid extract is concentrated and sterilised (UHT treatment), then the dry native extract is prepared by spray-drying.
Quality Controls

Before the dry native extract is released for standardisation, the individual ginsenoside content is measured and checked for quality. Furthermore, the extract undergoes thorough physical, chemical and microbiological controls.
Standardisation

Standardisation: the total content of ginsenosides is adjusted to 4%. The standardised G115® ginseng extract is born!
Final Controls

Complete quality controls of the standardised G115® ginseng extract. Release for production. Quality controls of the finished products containing G115®.
