Herbal Raw Materials to Effective Natural Solutions for Animal Health at Essence Natura

Throughout history, medicinal plants and simple herbal remedies have been employed in India for the treatment and alleviation of various ailments. While the utilisation of medicinal plants predates mankind, their controlled application and the isolation and characterisation of active substances commenced in the early nineteenth century. It is widely acknowledged that extractive plant isolates and isolated active substances played a pivotal role in the development of contemporary pharmacotherapy. Numerous isolated compounds continue to be utilised in the present day, or they have served as models for the synthesis of a substantial number of drugs.

The quality of any final product is guaranteed by the adherence to the standard quality of raw materials and the implementation of validated production processes and procedures on validated equipment. This principle extends to herbal remedies, which are composed of high-quality herbal raw materials, extractive preparations (extracts and tinctures), and isolates (essential oils and fatty oils).

The foundation of high-quality herbal products lies in the use of plant material of exceptional quality. Several factors influence the quality of plant material, regardless of whether it is cultivated or harvested from the wild. Biogenetic factors, such as species, variety, and chemotype, play a crucial role. Additionally, the environmental conditions in which a plant grows, including air, climate, land, agro-technical measures applied during large-scale production (including proper sowing, irrigation, fertilisation, weed and pest control), and subsequent collection from the wild or harvest of the plantation, transport, storage, drying, and grinding, all contribute to the final product’s quality.

It is imperative to educate individuals on the responsible collection of herbal raw materials from spontaneous flora and those who cultivate medicinal plants, whether in conventional or organic conditions. Quality control of herbal raw materials is meticulously defined and traceable. This process commences with the identification of plant raw materials. Responsible and expert individuals in laboratories, such as those responsible for pharmaceutical control or other relevant institutions, conduct identification and categorization under a specific number.

The formulation of novel herbal products is a process that comprises strictly defined phases and involves the collaboration of various departments within the company developing products based on medicinal herbs. The process is dynamic and divided into stages, each of which is completed through the execution of numerous essential activities. The formulation of a new phyto-preparation involves the following phases: analysis of literature and market trends, definition of recipes, validation of production processes, quality control of the final product, and preparation of technological and registration documents.

Upon the production and packaging of the preparation in its primary and secondary packaging, rigorous quality testing of the final product is conducted. This testing is conducted in accordance with the specifications of the final product, ensuring the comprehensive health and safety of the preparation. Additionally, the stability of the active substance is monitored to determine the expiration date.
