What Makes This Extract Special?
Our Shankhpushpi extract is produced using a gentle cold maceration method—a time-honoured technique that avoids heat degradation. This ensures the full spectrum of therapeutic plant compounds, including volatile oils and delicate nutrients, are fully extracted and maintained. The result is a super concentrated tincture with a dry plant material to menstruum ratio of 1:3. Each 1 ml of extract is equivalent to approximately 330 mg of dried whole herb, delivering potent support in every drop.
