What does standardized extract mean?

Ingredients

A standardization statement describes a specified constituent or marker in an extract. It is meaningful only with the percentage, material identity and reporting basis. Extract weight, marker weight and whole-plant weight are different values. Without the relevant specification, a conversion can make a product look quantitatively comparable when it is not.
