What makes PlantExtrakt unique?
Expertise in gemmotherapy
PlantExtrakt is the largest Romanian producer of gemmotherapeutic extracts, the only local producer of homeopathic medicines and one of the most trusted manufacturers of natural phytotherapeutic products.
Our uniqueness lies in the holistic approach to herbal medicine and the meticulous quality control embedded into its manufacturing process. The product portfolio is based on the tradition of herbal medicine, while being enhanced by modern scientific research and cutting-edge technology. PlantExtrakt is partnering scientific groups of researchers in the phytochemical field, especially gemmotherapy. As a result, 4 original studies have been published in 2023-2024 and a patent for pharmaceutical technology of a new herbal ingredient was obtained.
Our company is recognized for its expertise in gemmotherapy, a form of herbal medicine that uses fresh plant tissues - particularly buds, shoots, and rootlets - harvested during their growth phase. These tissues contain meristem cells, which are rich in polyphenols, hormones, vitamins, minerals and enzymes that make them particularly potent for medicinal purposes. Gemmotherapy offers numerous advantages over traditional herbal extracts, including increased bioavailability and a broader range of therapeutic properties.
Advanced extraction techniques
PlantExtrakt is offering high-standard gemmotherapy extracts that meet European Pharmacopeia requirements. The products are obtained from carefully selected fresh herbs, containing high concentration of active ingredients.
The hydro-glycero-alcoholic extraction preserves the phytocomplex of the plant, meaning that all beneficial components are retained in their most active form.
Sustainable sourcing and manufacturing
PlantExtrakt is also deeply committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The company owns over 18 hectares of green agricultural land, used for organic plant crops. The plants are sourced from our own certified organic crops or from ecological harvesting from wild flora of the Carpathian Mountains. This practice not only protects the environment, but also ensures the highest quality raw materials without pesticides, herbicides or other chemical contaminants.
Our production and storage facilities adhere to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards, ensuring that every step of the manufacturing process meets stringent quality requirements. The company’s state-of-the-art laboratory plays a key role in maintaining the highest levels of quality and safety across all products. This unwavering commitment to ethical manufacturing practices fosters trust and confidence among both clients and consumers.
Through our entire portfolio of gemotherapeutic and phytotherapeutic products we meet the rising consumer demand for natural, effective health solutions. Our clients benefit from: premium quality, innovation and sustainability.
