Communicate responsibly.
This page explains the botanical foundation of HERWAKER and provides selected scientific references for consumers who wish to explore research relating to individual botanicals used in the formulation.
The references presented below relate to research on individual botanicals or specific botanical preparations. Their relevance to HERWAKER’s target physiological condition varies depending on the botanical, preparation and research context, and they should not be interpreted as clinical evidence for the finished HERWAKER formulation.
THE BOTANICAL FORMULATION
HERWAKER contains selected botanicals derived from different plant parts.
Aloe Vera
Aloe barbadensis — Leaf inner pulp
The inner pulp of Aloe Vera forms part of the botanical base of the liquid formulation.

WHY DIFFERENT PLANT PARTS?
Different parts of a plant can have different botanical compositions.
Roots, bark, stems, leaves, fruits and inner leaf pulp may each contain their own characteristic naturally occurring plant compounds.
HERWAKER therefore uses selected plant parts according to the formulation specifications.
The botanical identity, plant part, extract specification and quantity are considered together as part of the formulation approach.
SELECTED SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE
Scientific literature can provide useful information about individual botanicals and specific botanical preparations studied under defined research conditions.
The references below have been selected to illustrate different areas of published botanical research relating to ingredients used in HERWAKER.
Some studies investigate women-specific physiological contexts, while others examine broader botanical, nutritional or physiological effects.
The research preparation, quantity, study population and outcomes may differ from the botanical preparation and serving level used in HERWAKER.
The references are provided so interested consumers can explore the original scientific literature themselves.

HOW TO INTERPRET THE RESEARCH
Scientific findings should always be understood in the context in which the research was conducted.
Results can differ depending on factors such as:
- The botanical species
- The plant part used
- The type of extract or preparation
- The extraction or processing method
- The concentration or quantity studied
- The research model
- The study population
- The duration of use
- The study design
- The outcomes being measured
For this reason, research concerning an individual botanical or a specific preparation should be interpreted within its own research conditions.
The scientific publications referenced on this page relate to individual botanicals or specific botanical preparations. They are not clinical studies of the finished HERWAKER formulation.
The presence of a publication on this page does not mean that the preparation, quantity or outcome studied is equivalent to the botanical preparation, quantity or serving level used in HERWAKER.
The references are provided for general educational purposes and to allow interested consumers to explore the original scientific literature themselves.
They should not be interpreted as demonstrating that the finished HERWAKER formulation produces the same findings or outcomes reported in an individual referenced study.
OUR APPROACH TO PLANT SCIENCE
At PROWAKER, we believe responsible botanical formulation begins with understanding the plants we use and communicating information clearly.
Our approach is built around five principles.
Plant Knowledge
Understanding botanical identity and the specific plant parts used in the formulation.
Thoughtful Formulation
Bringing selected botanicals together in a defined formulation while considering botanical identity, plant part, extract specification and quantity.
Scientific Curiosity
Exploring available scientific literature relating to individual botanical ingredients and specific botanical preparations.
Transparency
Providing original research references where appropriate so consumers who are interested in the science can explore the source information themselves.
Responsible Communication
Presenting scientific information in its proper context without overstating what an individual study, botanical or preparation demonstrates.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
