The efficacy of phytotherapeutic
medicines depends above all on the
choice of plants included in their
composition. Thanks to the skills
of plant chemists, we know which
species within one and the same plant
family are the most useful. We
know how to determine accurately the
ideal date when they should be
picked. We can define the most
propitious growing conditions, the best
region, the best soil, and the best
aspect. Finally, we know how to
choose, with the greatest precision,
the most active part of the plant.
Plant selection is carried out on a
strictly scientific basis. Such is
modern phytotherapy: 100%
plant-based.
In 1997, Arkopharma caused a sensation when it
introduced the first 100% plant-based
group of products, thus confirming its
position as the leader in phytotherapy.
Also in 1997, Arkopharma replaced the gelatin traditionally
used for capsules with a natural substitute of vegetable
origin, a cellulose derivative.
Cellulose surrounds and protects the
cells of all plants. The 100%
plant-based capsule is entirely natural
and contains neither gluten nor
preservatives.
