Figure 7. Endotoxin concentration present in botanical extracts.
Endotoxin concentrations in the botanical extracts listed were measured using a modified Limulus Amebocyte Lysate assay. Concentrations (endotoxin units/ml; EU/ml) were determined by comparison to an Escherichia coli standard solution. For Astragalus and Urtica, multiple extract preparations were prepared at different times using multiple lots of plant material obtained from the supplier (Samples I–IV and Samples I–V, respectively).
