Why does it matter?

There can be great variation in the quality of natural healthcare products, and much of this is to do with the consistency of the ingredient used and the precise care taken at each step of the production process. The species of plant selected, the way it’s grown and harvested can all affect the composition of the final therapeutic extract. Not only can this vary between different products using seemingly the same ingredient, but can even occur within batches of the same product.

It’s just like the way your coffee can differ depending on how and where the coffee beans were grown, collected, roasted, processed, ground and brewed. Or how wine varies according to the type of grape, where and how it’s grown and how it’s processed into wine.

The source to patient philosophy

The ASTRA approach begins with detailed knowledge about each individual ingredient, which through rigorous processes, quality controls and extensive testing, are developed into finished products that can be confidently used for optimal health outcomes.

Careful consideration and control is essential at every stage of creation, to produce a consistent product that has the same composition of extract and balance of active components from one batch to the next.

But that’s not it. At ASTRA, we are committed to demonstrating that our products can work. This is why ASTRA's health products have undergone extensive clinical research. It enables us to provide evidence that our specific product – not just the generic ingredient – has demonstrated health benefits and can offer reliable results.

Because ASTRA has clinical evidence on the products, you can feel confident that the results demonstrated by clinical trials may be replicated by the product on the shelves
