Extracts

What do extracts do?

Herbal extracts do exactly what the herbs do—only a little faster and more intensely. Plus, you need a smaller dose. Since you’re only taking in the active ingredients, you no longer have to chew, smoke, or brew dozens of grams of herbs into herbal tea. That makes a big difference.

The effects of herbal extracts vary by type. For example, there are extracts that act as aphrodisiacs, for an exciting evening with your partner. They improve blood flow, increase testosterone levels, or heighten the senses, making stimuli more intense. Some varieties also give you a mild “high,” making you feel euphoric. Other natural extracts, on the other hand, promote relaxation. Blood pressure drops, and you feel more relaxed or sleep better. Our online store includes a detailed description for each extract: decide for yourself what’s perfect for you!

Buy herbal extracts

If you’re looking for a high-quality herbal extract, you’ve come to the right place here in the Dutch-Smart webshop. In these herbal extracts, the active compounds are extracted from plants or seeds. These herbal extracts come in many different forms. In the category above, you’ll mainly find herbal extracts in powder form, but elsewhere in our herb shop you’ll also find so-called tinctures, for example.

These powdered extracts are often made by drying liquid extracts. The big advantage of these powdered extracts is that you can encapsulate them yourself if you wish. This way, you can make your own health capsules in no time! In addition, dried extracts are by far the most potent herbal preparations you’ll encounter—even stronger than liquid extracts.

But no matter what form you take such an extract in, they all benefit from the simple fact that they bypass the need for digestion and are thus much more easily absorbed than if you were to chew on a herb, for example. These extracts also offer greater convenience than consuming herbs in their original form. Would you like to buy a herbal extract? Then we’re sure we have a suitable extract for you in our herb shop.

How do you take them?

Most extracts in this category are in powder form and are consumed in herbal tea. However, the preparation method and the amount of extract you should use vary by herb type. In some cases, they are combined with alcohol and used in alcoholic beverages, such as absinthe. Because extracts have a much stronger effect than herbs, it is important to pay close attention to your dosage. So always read the instructions for use and/or the package insert!

Be careful with medications

Be cautious with extracts if you normally take medication. Some products enhance the effect of blood thinners or counteract the effects of insulin. We recommend that you always seek information about the risks before using the herb. Would you like to know more about extracts or how a specific product works? Feel free to contact us.
