17 Sep 2019 --- Due to a number of saw palmetto extract adulterations being detected in botanical supplements in the US, there has been a rising need to detect fraudulent components and guarantee the ingredient’s authenticity. The American Botanical Council’s (ABC) Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program (BAPP) has now published a new Laboratory Guidance Document (LGD) on saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) extract. The guidance document is touted as being instrumental in safeguarding product safety and eliminating adulterated supplements from the nutraceutical market.
