Hello there,
since may 2019 i use Salvia 20x frequently in very small doses.
Lately i ordered some and got very dark, almost black colored extract.
Beforehand i always got green extract, which looked like the normal leaf color.
I really wanted to know what happened to the plant matter and did some research.
This is the only information i found:
"The darker the extract, the stronger it usually is. This is because the stronger extracts contain more salvia plant material which contains salvinorin A and plant fats. These fats cause the extract to have a blacker color.
This is only the case with crude extracts, which are extracts made by using salvia plant material. Standardized extracts are made by using pure salvinorin A, which means their color doesn't change."
So i was very sure that i got some crude extract and exchanged the product.
Then i ordered somewhere else and the same phenomenon occured.
Now i'm a bit confused, because both sellers insist that it's standardized extract.
One of them answered:
"We've been in business since 1998 and our first products were actually salvia leaves and extracts. We also have a wholesale store that supplies dozens of other (web)shops and for all the hundreds of kilograms we sold over the years we never received a single complaint about the quality."
This sounds good, but i asked 3 times why it is almost black then?
The third time he said he doesn't want to argue anymore, but i only wanted to know why this happens and he couldn't answer, which made me a bit sceptical.
I don't know if it's standardized or not, but the info i found says it couldn't be.
Would be very helpful if anyone can answer this:
IS IT'S POSSIBLE FOR STANDARDIZED EXTRACT TO LOSE IT'S NATURAL COLOR TURNING ALMOST BLACK?
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN, IF IT'S NOT CHLOROPHYL AND PLANT FATS?
