Herbal Remedies FAQ -- Are More Expensive Herbs Higher Quality?

For any specific herb, prices of products vary widely. Is price an indicator of quality?

While high-quality herbal products usually cost more to produce, price is not a dependable indicator of quality. Price does not always reflect how much the manufacturer has invested in production and quality control versus promotion or profit. To find quality products, consumers may want to look for products from reputable suppliers and to select brands that use common standardized formulations.
