The term '4:1 extract' refers to the concentration process used on the amalaki fruit. In simple terms, it takes 4 parts of the raw fruit material to produce 1 part of this concentrated extract powder. This process removes some of the bulk, like water and fiber, leaving behind a more concentrated form of the plant compounds naturally present in the fruit, such as polyphenols. Because it is concentrated, a smaller amount of this extract in a capsule provides a richer herbal material than you would get from an equivalent amount of plain, unprocessed amalaki powder. This is a common method in herbal supplements to make a product more practical for daily use in capsule form, as it reduces the physical volume of plant material needed to achieve a meaningful serving.
