This material is a complex botanical extract containing flavonoids, phenolic acids, tannins, and mucilage-type polysaccharides rather than a single defined molecule. Typical use levels are often around 0.1% to 5%, and the extract is usually best protected from excess heat, light, and air because plant polyphenols can gradually oxidize.
