German term

pflanzlich

German to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals dietary supplements
Ich weiß, dass dieses Wort bereits nachgefragt wurde, aber nur um sicherzugehen:

Aus einem Katalog über Nahrungsergänzungsmittel, Überschriften der einzelnen Produktkategorien:
Vitamine und Spurenelemente
Koenzym Q10 Präparate
Pflanzliche Produkte
usw.

Ich weiß, es gibt herbal und plant-based, aber was steht wirklich auf den Schächtelchen und Dosen dieser Präparate in GB oder anderen english-speaking countries? Und ist herbal nicht zu eng gefasst? Gibt es gar eine Zusammensetzung mit "phyto"? In der letzten (zugegeben nicht allzu gut übersetzten) Ausgabe des Kataloges wurde überhaupt "vegetable" verwendet....
TIA
Proposed translations (English)
3 +1 botanical products
3 +4 vegetable products
3 +2 phytoproducts
3 +1 plant-derived
1 Now I'm confused ...

KathyAnna O Oct 8, 2004:
I would call it simply herbal products or as you mentioned Herbals & Phytonutrients As far as I understand, Q10, Vitamins and Minerals in your text belong to a different Category
TonyTK Oct 8, 2004:
Have you got the catalogue as a file. If you want, I could take a look at it.
TonyTK Oct 8, 2004:
FWIW "calendula balm" would be a "herbal product" rather than phyto- or vegetable
Terence Ajbro Oct 8, 2004:
So both vegetable and herbal ingredients. Does not vegetable also include anything derived from a plant source? For example vegetable oil is also derived from plants.
Non-ProZ.com Oct 8, 2004:
no, there are also Jerusalem artichoke, coenzyme Q-10, bluebery, lutein, zeaxanthin, L-prolin, glycin, boswellia serrata capsules, calendula balm, zinc, rosemary, folic acid, kombucha preparations, and many many many more.
TonyTK Oct 8, 2004:
All herbals apart from "vitamin+amino acids"?? Hmmmmmmmm..., BTW drop the second "n" in "garcinina".
Non-ProZ.com Oct 8, 2004:
Products: Gingko capsules, asparagus capsules, konjac flour capsules, vitamin+amino acid capsules, yams powder, extracts from camu camu, garcinina cambogia, etc.
This is why I don't want to call them "vegetable"
TonyTK Oct 8, 2004:
What kind of products are listed under this heading? You often see "Herbals & Phytonutrients", for example.

botanical products

just a guess - a logical one

plant-derived

I suggest plant-derived products.

agree Carol Finch (X) : Yes, or plant-based, or to quote my shampoo "derived from natural plant sources"!

neutral TonyTK : Well yes, but isn't natural vitamin E also plant-derived?

phytoproducts

Quite a number of hits in Google. But you would have to check some of websites in order to find out if that's really what you are looking for. It depends on the body copy following your headline.
Peer comment(s):
agree TonyTK : Yes. On a besoin de context

agree Ingo Dierkschnieder : Habe gerade nachgeschaut: Auf einem meiner Nahrungsergänzungsmittel steht "vegetable source", also denke ich "vegetable products" ist okay.

neutral TonyTK : Sorry, but it sounds like they're selling vegetables. This chain-smoking vitamin freak has never seen "vegetable products" on any of his labels. "Vegetable source"/"Food source" yes, but that would be vitamins.

neutral Nancy Arrowsmith : botanicals is usually used, even if they are vegetable sourced

Now I'm confused ...

I thought there were several main headings - i.e.

1. Vitamine und Spurenelemente
2. Koenzym Q10 Präparate
3. Pflanzliche Produkte

You're saying that coenzyme Q10, glycine, zinc and folic acid (one of the B vitamins) are also listed under "Pflanzliche Produkte"?

I mean, peanuts contain zinc but it all sounds quite strange ...
