A
vacuum takes it away: creating effective alcohol-free products
All
of Herbs, Etc.’s products are created using alcohol and water.
The combination is absolutely essential to extract the full complement
of active constituents from each herb.
To
create an alcohol-free extract, an alcohol-based extract is poured
into
a stainless-steel proprietary chamber. A vacuum is applied
to the chamber at room temperature. This process extracts all of
the alcohol without the use of any heat. This method was created
and perfected at Herbs, Etc. It assures that Herbs, Etc.’s
alcohol-free products retain the full range of active constituents
without the damaging effects of heat.
Once
the alcohol is removed, glycerin is added to the concentrate to
make alcohol-free products.
Citric acid (from citrus fruits)
is also added as a natural preservative. It assures product freshness
and prevents bacterial contamination. 
Extensive analyses
of Herbs, Etc.’s alcohol-free extracts
have found them to be equivalent to their alcohol-based extracts.
When Herbs, Etc.’s alcohol-free Echinacea is compared to the
competitions’ alcohol-free Echinacea, Herbs, Etc. beats the
competition by having 450% or more active ingredients.
Developing
herbal medicine you'll love to take
In
March of 2000, Herbs, Etc. introduced the first and only full-potency
liquid herbal extract formulations available in softgels. Until
then, only liquid herbal extracts could deliver fresh, quickly
absorbed and potent herbs.
Using
the Herbs, Etc. exclusive proprietary process described earlier,the
alcohol is removed from the liquid herbal
extract to
produce a concentrate. To this concentrate, olive oil is added
and the product is put in a fast-acting softgel. Herbs, Etc.’s
softgels are made to the same stringent specifications as our
professional-strength liquid herbal extracts.
The hard
facts about softgel benefits.
Each
Herbs, Etc.’s softgel contains the concentrated extract
equal to 35 drops of its liquid herbal extract.
Studies
show 9 out of 10 consumers prefer softgels to capsules or tablets.
All
of Herbs, Etc.’s softgel products are potent and oxygen-free.
The result is a stronger, more effective herbal product. Sadly,
some competitors use two-piece liquid-filled capsules. The two-piece
capsules contain an air bubble inside. This oxygen-filled air bubble
leads to oxidation and degradation of the herbs’ active constituents.
All
of Herbs, Etc’s fast-acting softgels deliver herbal medicine
faster. Softgels dissolve in the body within 6 minutes versus
tablets which may take up to45 minutes or longer. In some instances
tablets never
dissolve and may go through your body unabsorbed.
Herbs,
Etc. guarantees effective
herbal medicine
Every step Herbs, Etc. takes guarantees effective herbal medicine.
More than 30 years of expertise as a leading manufacturer of high
quality, potent liquid herbal extracts is your assurance. This
is why every Herbs, Etc.’s herbal medicine product is
unconditionally guaranteed.
Herbally
yours,
