Crude Salvia Extract vs Standardized Salvia Extract

Crude Salvia Divinorum Extract

Crude Salvia Divinorum Extract is prepared by combining crude extract with Salvia Divinorum leaves. This concentrates tars and other components of the leaf. For example, our 20x extract is prepared by mixing one unit of leaf with the tar-like crude extract obtained from 27 units of leaf. The resulting product is 28 times as potent as the plain leaves used to produce it. We label our "28x extract" as "20x extract." This type of extract can vary in potency because the potency of the leaves used to produce it varies. That is why we add an extra 8 units of leaf.
  

Standardized Salvia Divinorum Extract

Standardized Salvia Divinorum Extract is prepared by extracting pure Salvinorin A (the active principal of the plant), then adding a measured quantity back onto Salvia Divinorum leaves to bring them up to a specific, reliable, and consistent level of potency. This type of product is more expensive to prepare but is far superior to crude-extract enhanced leaf. Products that have been prepared in this manner have particularly good burning characteristics because they do not contain the tar-like, gummy impurities found in crude extracts. Since the impurities have been removed during the extraction process, they won't end up in your lungs when burning the extract for incense.
