Ekstrakt z dziewanny (Verbascum thapsus) 10:1 - opakowanie 5 g

Koningskaars is the Dutch name for mullein, and Verbascum thapsus is the species that Polish botany refers to as small-flowered mullein. Canntropy presents it here as a concentrated extract with a concentration of 10:1, in a 5 g package. The notation 10:1 describes the ratio between the dry plant material and the finished extract and is the basic information that the distributor provides about this product. However, one thing is more important than the concentration and determines whether you even want to have this extract on your shelf: the product card describes it solely as a collector's item. The distributor states explicitly that it is not intended for direct consumption or smoking. So you are purchasing raw material for your herbal collection, described by species, concentration, and weight. The 5 g package is the smallest of the three and therefore usually the first: it allows you to see what such an extract looks like and how much space it takes on the shelf before you decide on a larger format.

Ingredients

The distributor's card describes the contents of the package in one line:

Extract from small-flowered mullein (Verbascum thapsus) at a concentration of 10:1
The trade name Koningskaars is the Dutch term for the same mullein.

The 10:1 concentration is the only numerical value that the distributor publishes about the contents of the package, and it describes the ratio between the dry plant material and the finished extract, not the content of a specific compound. Therefore, two extracts described with the same notation may differ from each other. The product card provides four certain reference points (species, concentration, packaging weight, and the company introducing the product to the market), and you will find all four listed directly on this page in the specifications table below.

How to use

The product card describes this extract as an item exclusively for collectors, not intended for direct consumption or smoking - and that is the only purpose the distributor envisions for it. Handling such raw material thus comes down to how you store it and how you describe it in your collection.

For whom

This is an item for those who collect plant extracts just as others collect seeds or herbariums: for the curiosity of the species, for comparison between different degrees of concentration, and for the sake of possessing a rarer raw material. Mullein is an interesting point in such a collection, as it is a species native to Polish flora, common in clearings, slopes, roadside areas, and ruderal sites, yet rarely found in the form of a concentrated extract. Five grams is the smallest of the three formats in this family and the easiest to fit alongside other samples. Equally important is who this product is not for. It is not for those looking for a dietary supplement, herbal tea, or a product for application - the distributor envisions it solely for collectible use. It is also not a product for children. If you are looking for something that can be brewed or taken, choose an item described as food or a supplement, as only there will you find instructions worth reading.

Frequently asked questions

What does a concentration of 10:1 mean?

This notation represents the ratio between the raw material and the finished extract, commonly used in descriptions of plant extracts. It indicates the degree of concentration of the material, not the content of a specific chemical compound. Two extracts with the same notation may differ from each other, as the result depends on the part of the plant used and the extraction method. For this product, 10:1 is the only numerical value provided by the distributor, and it distinguishes the extract from regular dried material.

Can this extract be consumed?

No. The product card defines it as a solely collectible item and explicitly states that it is not intended for direct consumption or smoking. This is the declaration of the company introducing the product to the market and is valid in this form. If you are looking for raw material for brewing or a supplement, choose a product that is described as such and has dosing information.

Where does the name Koningskaars come from?

It is a Dutch term for mullein, literally meaning "royal candle." It refers to the tall, straight flowering stem, which is the easiest way to recognize the plant in the field. In the product name, it is thus a second name for the same species, not a separate raw material or additive: Latin Verbascum thapsus, Polish small-flowered mullein, and Dutch Koningskaars all describe exactly the same plant from the family Scrophulariaceae.

Which of the three packages should you choose to start with?

The one you are currently viewing is the smallest of the three. The concentration, species, brand, and distributor are identical across all three formats, and the product card is common to them - they differ only in the weight of the raw material inside. Therefore, the choice comes down to how much material you want to have in your collection, rather than the quality or concentration of the extract.

Variants and category

Safety and storage

This extract is not food or a dietary supplement and does not replace any element of the diet. The distributor defines it as a product solely for collection purposes and emphasizes that it is not intended for direct consumption or smoking. Store the package in a dry and dark place, out of reach of children and pets. Keep it closed and labeled, just like any other raw material in your collection, so that after months there is no doubt about what is inside. If you are looking for a product for use, this is not the right shelf. In the supplements category, you will find products with declared nutritional composition and dosage.
