1) 100 acre Echinacea planting base
After two years of experiments, we finally chose a farm in Baoji China as our Echinacea Purpurea planting base. The reason behind this decision is not the high productivity of the land, but the low residue of pesticides and heavy metal of the Echinacea Purpurea extract made from herbs harvested there.

3) GMP-certified factory
Plamed Echinacea Extract is proudly made in our GMP-certified plant. To ensure the safety of our products, we carry out each step strictly according to the GMP standard. All the water involved in the production process is purified, and the extraction solution we use is food-grade ethanol, rather than methanol, the low cost option some manufactures choose.
4) Low pesticides and heavy metal residue
According to our strict raw material quality control standard, we use biopesticides, which is of high activity and low toxicity, when necessary. What’s more, we have detected soil samples from our farm before sowing to ensure that the land is not contaminated.
5) No fake products
Plamed 4% Polyphenols (UV) Echinacea extract does not contain any gallic acid, while some low-priced products of the same specification does. This kind of dishonest and unwise way to elevate UV assay result and lower cost is extremely harmful for customer interest and market order.
