How we scored it
Dried, ground leaf: all mass is Eclipta prostrata leaf constituents, n=1; no reagents or solvents involved. 100% / 100% = 1.0.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.
Where it comes from
