Many "novel" remedies use all or part of endangered species.
However this does not just include obscure rain forest plants, sea horses and the gall bladders from large mammals.
The demand for natural remedies is increasing and the use of wild plants - particularly slow growing plants such as Ginseng - can threaten wild populations.
YCT only uses ingredients from sustainable farming and farms which are either our own or adhere to our strict standards.
Anything else we regard as complete unacceptable practise.
