A natural product is described as a compound or substance produced by a living organism found in nature. For thousands of years, many cultures around the world have depended on traditional medicines found in nature. Over the last hundred years, many new FDA approved drugs have their origins in natural products and many of these are also used in commercial products including cosmetic and beauty products and dietary supplements. Natural products can be both chemically synthesized or isolated from natural sources such as plant and tissue extracts, fermentation broths, etc. Active agents from natural sources are typically found in very low levels and must be extracted and purified to higher concentrations to demonstrate their specific activity. Gilson has a range of extraction and purification products to benefit your natural products workflows and more information can be found in our natural product-focused application notes.
