It kinda depends on the herb in my opinion. And what they standardized for.
Mint is almost always standardized for menthol... ick. And not what we even want out of it!
There's actually LESS of the stuff we want in mint in mint extracts!
OTOH, I really REALLY swear by PM and SP extracts.
So... It really kinda depends.
PS: I'm not an herbalist. I'm a faux-scientist. As in I use the scientific method, behave as a scientist might, but lack any credentials or research team to back me up.
