Frequently Asked Questions about Glossy Privet Extract
What is Glossy Privet / Nu Zhen Zi (Ligustrum lucidum) fruit extract?
Glossy privet is an evergreen tree of the olive family (Oleaceae), botanically Ligustrum lucidum, native to China and eastern Asia. In Chinese herbal tradition its fruit is known as Nu Zhen Zi, and in pharmacopoeial Latin as Fructus Ligustri Lucidi. The part used is the ripe fruit, which is gathered and dried and traditionally processed before use. The fruit naturally contains constituents such as oleanolic and ursolic acids, specnuezhenide and salidroside - these are simply components of the raw material. Our extract is offered in two forms, a traditional alcohol-based tincture and an alcohol-free glycerite, both from ethically sourced material. This is a whole-fruit liquid extract carrying the plant's natural spectrum of constituents, not an isolated or standardized single-compound product, and we label it clearly by botanical name and plant part. Note that this is the specific herb Ligustrum lucidum fruit, not raw berries picked from an ornamental privet hedge.
What is the difference between the tincture and alcohol-free versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same Ligustrum lucidum fruit; only the solvent differs. The tincture uses alcohol as the traditional solvent, together with vegetable glycerin and water. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water, suited to those who avoid alcohol. Both deliver the fruit's constituents in a convenient liquid you take by the drop. Choose the tincture for a classic alcohol-extracted format with a longer shelf life; choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol.
Is this the same as ornamental privet, and is it Nu Zhen Zi?
Two things worth clarifying. First, yes - glossy privet and Nu Zhen Zi are the same herb. Glossy privet is the English common name of Ligustrum lucidum, and Nu Zhen Zi is its name in Chinese herbal tradition; we previously listed this product under both names, and it is now presented as one. Second, and importantly: this is not the same as the ornamental privet hedge in a garden. Several privet species are grown as hedges - including Ligustrum sinense, often called Chinese privet, which is an invasive weed in some regions, and Ligustrum japonicum, the Japanese privet - and the raw berries of ornamental privets are generally considered mildly toxic if eaten off the bush. Our product is specifically the fruit of Ligustrum lucidum, processed and prepared as the traditional herb Nu Zhen Zi and taken by the drop at a measured serving. It is not a handful of raw hedge berries, and it is not Ligustrum sinense or japonicum. We label the botanical name and plant part on every page so there is no confusion.
How do I use Glossy Privet liquid extract?
Shake well before use. Adults take 20-30 drops (about 1 ml, one full squeeze of the dropper bulb) in 2 oz of water, tea, or juice, up to 4 times daily, or as directed by your practitioner. Drink the entire contents. Do not exceed the suggested serving.
Is Glossy Privet extract right for everyone? Safety and storage.
Glossy privet fruit, prepared as the traditional herb, is generally well tolerated, but it is not right for everyone. A concentrated liquid extract may cause mild digestive upset or loose stools in some people, so do not exceed the suggested serving. Avoid this product during pregnancy and while nursing. One point worth stressing: this is the processed herb Ligustrum lucidum fruit taken by the drop - it is not the same as the raw berries of an ornamental privet hedge, which are considered mildly toxic if eaten, so do not substitute self-collected privet berries for this product. If you take any medication or have a medical condition, talk with a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children, and do not exceed the suggested serving. Store this tincture in a cool, dark place. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

ETHICALLY SOURCED, NATURAL INGREDIENTS
Our Glossy Privet (Ligustrum Lucidum) Fruit is selected from regions with optimal growing conditions to support a high concentration of active constituents. We work only with trusted suppliers and focus on sourcing clean, well-preserved botanical material suitable for high-quality liquid extraction.

As a solvent, we use alcohol to preserve the integrity of the extract and support a clean extraction process.
To verify botanical identity and ensure consistency, all raw materials are tested in our laboratory using established analytical techniques. These include High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) for plant authentication and fingerprinting, or Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and other in-house methods. Our approach is guided by relevant standards such as those of the USP and Ph. Eur., ISO 17025 and cGLP, allowing us to maintain rigorous quality control, ensuring the material meets our specifications for identity, purity and composition.
METICULOUS EXTRACT PREPARATION
Hawaii Pharm determines the optimal herb-to-menstruum ratio for each botanical. For alcohol-based extracts, we use a carefully balanced alcohol blend to ensure maximum extraction of active compounds while preserving the plant's natural integrity.
Our master herbalists analyze each batch and adjust extraction parameters as needed, ensuring consistent quality despite natural variations in botanical sources.
The result is a potent, stable liquid extract that captures the full spectrum of the botanical's benefits.
COMPREHENSIVE LABORATORY TESTING
Every batch undergoes multiple quality assurance tests including:
  • Organoleptic evaluation (color, consistency, aroma)
  • FTIR and/or HPTLC spectral analysis for identity confirmation
  • Microbiological testing (total plate count, E. coli, coliforms)
  • Yeast and mold screening
  • Alcohol content verification
  • Viscosity measurement
