PLANTS
Ancestral use
Plants are known and traditionally used for their many virtues.
Did you know?
De Materia Medica, written by Dioscorides around 60 AD, is one of the most influential works in the history of botany.
Recognised virtues
Over the centuries, advances in botany and chemistry have made it possible to identify the active compounds found in plants and to understand their effects on the human body. In 1818, the first French Pharmacopoeia was published to compile knowledge relating to plants and their active constituents.
Even today, plants remain a major source of active ingredients and are widely used.
Their components can be used:
- directly: for example, caffeine extracted from coffee or guarana seeds, traditionally used to fight fatigue
- To maximize the benefits of plants, BIOFAR Laboratories use various processes to concentrate their active compounds. Plants can be used either fresh or dried. They are then ground, followed by an extraction process to concentrate their beneficial components.
