Question

I have a product containing fermented ingredients and noticed sediment at the bottom. Is this sediment part of the active substance?

Answer

# Sediment in Fermented Ingredients

Yes, the sediment you see at the bottom of products containing fermented ingredients is typically part of the active substance that has been extracted. During the production process, manufacturers filter the ingredients to reduce sediment, but some settling is normal for this type of ingredient.

Shaking the product before use helps to ensure that the active components, including any settled sediment, are evenly dispersed throughout the liquid. This helps to ensure you get the full benefit of the active ingredients with each use.
