Watercress is the botanical starting point of the Prof&Doc® journey. It is one of nature’s most nutrient-dense leafy greens, and Prof&Doc uses it as the source plant from which Watercress Active® is derived. Product benefits are then described at finished-formula level, not assumed from the raw plant.
Because Prof&Doc® keeps the science precise. The raw plant, the extract and the finished product are treated as separate stages, so product benefits are only claimed where the finished formula has approved wording.
