About us
Phytotherapy has its scientific roots in pharmacognosy.
Pharmacognosy is the branch of pharmacology that turns the traditional and ancestral use of medicinal plants into science:
- Studies the origin of the plant extract, properly identifying the specie of the plant and determining the optimal conditions for its cultivation.
- Sets up how to collect, dry and preserve the raw plant materials, how to evaluate their quality and how to manufacture plant extracts.
- Establishes standards and protocols for the quality control of plant extracts.
- Isolates and characterizes the active principles. Studies their mechanism of action.
- Establishes the safety and efficacy of plant extracts.
We at PlusVet Animal health select our plant-derived raw materials that following the scientific principles of pharmacognosy.
Moreover, we integrate some of the principles of functional medicine, such as:
- It is necessary to understand the underlying causes of a sign: chronic inflammation, metabolic or digestive imbalances, accumulation of toxins or oxidative stress, among others.
- It is necessary to reinforce the natural mechanisms of self-regulation of the body.
- Often the problem has a multifactorial cause so the solution must be complex (may need more than one active ingredient that work through different mechanisms of action)
- Customized solutions are often necessary, so our technical department offers the possibility of customizing certain products to adapt them to the problems of our clients.
