Buyer Decision Guide
Echinacea is specified by species, plant part and marker. The polyphenol grade and the cichoric-acid grade are separate purchasing specifications and should be qualified independently.
- Confirm species and aerial plant part
- Distinguish polyphenol grade from cichoric-acid grade
- Compare UV results and colour between lots
- State the destination market for claims review
How This Grade Differs
This polyphenol-standardised whole-herb grade differs from Echinacea cichoric-acid grades, which are measured by HPLC and declared at a different concentration. Do not treat the two as interchangeable.
Compare these related grades before approval:
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.
