Salvestrol® Platinum is a plant-based extract, rich in specific phytonutrients (phytoalexins) that naturally occur in significant amounts in untreated vegetables and fruits. Phytoalexins are plant defence compounds that protect the plant against fungi, viruses, bacteria, UV light, and insects. The plant produces them in larger quantities only when necessary.

Few salvestrols in current diet
The discoverers of salvestrols made an interesting finding: the salvestrol content in fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, and processed foods varies greatly. Pesticides such as fungicides have drastically reduced the salvestrol content in conventional vegetables and fruits. Understandably, there is no longer a need for the plant to protect itself by producing phytoalexins. Additionally, plant selection and breeding over the past fifty to sixty years have led to the cultivation of fewer plant varieties naturally rich in bitter salvestrols (and thus less dependent on pesticides). People also tend to choose new varieties of fruits and vegetables that are uniform in size, colour, and shape, overlooking older varieties and less attractive specimens, which are richer in salvestrols. Finally, food producers remove salvestrols for reasons of taste, colour, and clarity from (refined) foods such as fruit juices and olive oil. The taste becomes sweeter without the need to add sugar. Refined foods generally contain little to no salvestrols. The British research group that discovered salvestrols concluded that today's diet contains 80 to 90% fewer salvestrols compared to fifty to a hundred years ago. Only in untreated and unprocessed foods are relevant amounts of salvestrols still present.

Why salvestrols are measured in points
The salvestrol points system is designed to indicate the amount of salvestrols in supplements and food. Different salvestrols have different potencies that are not directly related to the number of milligrams. The scale of the points system is based on a calculation of the amount of salvestrols present in a historical diet over 100 years ago. That amount is equated to 100 points.

Salvestrol® Platinum contains 2000 points per capsule and is therefore very highly dosed. For comparison: Salvestrol® Shield contains a maintenance dose of 350 salvestrol points per capsule.
