A therapeutic dose refers to the amount of herb or nutrient needed to provide meaningful support in the body. In herbal medicine, the effectiveness of a remedy doesn’t just depend on the ingredient itself but also on how much of it is present.
Our Harker Herbals formulas are designed to deliver therapeutic levels of active ingredients. This means each herb is included at a level intended to provide genuine support, based on traditional herbal knowledge and modern research.
Rather than adding small amounts simply for label appeal, our focus is on including meaningful quantities that contribute to the formula’s purpose.
When comparing supplements, it’s easy to focus on the ingredient list. However, two products may contain the same herbs while delivering very different levels of active compounds.
Some everyday supplements contain very small doses of key ingredients. While these products may look similar on the shelf, the amount included may be too low to provide noticeable support.
This is where therapeutic dosing becomes important. Meaningful levels of herbs can help ensure a formula provides the intended support for the body, whether that relates to immune health, digestion, stress response or sleep.

Choosing a well-formulated remedy with appropriate dosing from the start can provide better value over time.
For 45 years, Harker Herbals has focused on producing remedies based on quality ingredients, careful formulation and herbal expertise.
Our approach combines:
Each formula is developed with the goal of delivering balanced, targeted support while remaining gentle and suitable for everyday use.
Because of this commitment to quality and effectiveness, Harker Herbals has built a loyal following across New Zealand.
Many customers return to our remedies year after year because they have experienced the difference that thoughtful formulation can make. Over time, this trust has grown into a reputation for herbal remedies people rely on when they need support the most.
Not all supplements are created equal. While ingredient names may look familiar, the dose, quality and formulation determine how a product performs.
At Harker Herbals, we believe herbal remedies should provide meaningful support, not minimal amounts.
That philosophy continues to guide everything we create.
