In general, extracts have greater nutritional potential, meaning that due to the method of their production, they should contain higher concentrations of active substances, boasting better bioavailability. If the manufacturer does not provide detailed information about the form of the extract on the product, you as a consumer know that it is an extract, i.e., plant material devoid of fiber, on average with a higher concentration of nutrients than powder, and simultaneously with higher bioavailability. For most potential customers, this is a sufficient argument to invest more money in purchasing it than in supplements containing powder.
