(As different from a glycerate, meaning a product processed with another solvent with that solvent removed and glycerin thereafter added.) A liquid herbal glycerite is a liquid herbal product made using an all-natural solvent mixture of purified water and glycerin to extract a botanical's components.  Until the advent of the proprietary 'Genuine TincTract® Made' liquid herbal glycerite processing technology, other commercially available liquid herbal glycerites were (and still are) weak preparations possessing low potency and inconsistent results due to utilizing outdated and antequated liquid glycerite processing techniques better suited to alcohol based extraction methodologies. Other companies still make their herbal glycerites using those antequated approaches while Cedar Bear Naturales™ utilizes its Earth-Friendly cutting-edge proprietary glycerite processing technologies.

•  THE  FACTS  ABOUT  CBN™  GLYCERITE  PROCESSING  TECHNOLOGIES  

Contrary To Popular Belief,  Glycerin Is An Excellent Extractive Solvent...   But Only As Utilized By CBN™

Industry Setting Standards!

Cedar Bear Naturales™ makes potent and synergy driven Ratio-Intact poly-constituent based liquid herbal glycerites utilizing one of 3 revolutionary technologies (depending on the product) – the innovative 6th generation 'Genuine TincTract® Made' process, RAPID RESPONSE™ process or SynerJuice® process. These processes are why Cedar Bear Naturales™ products are Category Defining.

All Cedar Bear Naturales™ Ratio-Intact glycerite processing technologies are rooted in the TincTract® process, its flagship technology. The 'Genuine TincTract® Made' liquid herbal glycerite process was developed In 1982 and now in its 6th generation of proprietary improvements and enhancements is a revolutionary trade secret IP driven liquid herbal glycerite processing technology utilizing cutting edge methodologies and modern science considerations which means the best tasting and most efficacious products of their kind.

The TincTract® liquid herbal glycerite extraction technology results in the most potent, concentrated Ratio–Intact polyconstituent based liquid herbal glycerite products available. TincTract® liquid herbal glycerites are 100% true alcohol-free, potent, safe and pure, have been independent 3rd party lab analysis verified, and they hold the unique distinction of tasting remarkably good.  

Cedar Bear Naturales™ is an Earth Friendly and Green Manufacturer endeavor that is sensitive to viable worldwide botanical sustainability. CBN™ only utilizes safe ecologically friendly sustainable technologies that results in products possessing a very low 'erg' index.

• Liquid herbal glycerites that are true alcohol-free.

Cedar Bear Naturales™ liquid herbal glycerites are true alcohol-free products. This means no alcohol (daitomic) is ever used at any time in their making which has profound implications for preserving biological viability (which alcohol does not posses). Typcially, other companies claiming to be 'alcohol-free' actually make their liquid herbal products (including super-saturate ones) with alcohol (or some other chemical solvent) then remove the alcohol and replace it with glycerin so they can say they're alcohol-free when in fact they are not.  (Click FAQ link and go to "What do you feel is the most intrinsic problem inherent in an alcohol produced product that is not a problem for a glycerin produced product?" for more details.)                                                                                                                                          Glycerin Molecule

• Potent and safe.

Cedar Bear Naturales™ unique proprietary processed liquid herbal glycerites are incredibly potent and consistent in their results. No other true alcohol-free Ratio–Intact polyconstituent based liquid herbal glycerite is as potent as Cedar Bear Naturales™ products are.

Unlike alcohol, glycerin is safe for general human consumption, even possessing important nutritional benefits, and glycerin has a low glycemic index and load, and unlike alcohol, glycerin possesses no hyper-glycemic load. Cedar Bear Natureales™ uses only Kosher certified USP grade 100% vegetable glycerin. Also, glycerin, as utilized in CBN™ proprietary glycerite processing technologies results in finished products that possess 'absolute' preservation. This means Cedar Bear Naturales™ finished consumer-ready products don't require refrigeration after opening.

In fact, Cedar Bear Naturales™ glycerite products are so safe and pure that they have been shown to qualify for 'cold pack' use in the beverage and confectionary industries. CBN™ has independent 3rd party safety analysis performed on its products, and, safety & ingredient burden analysis is done on products by bulk ingredient contract accounts CBN™ works with, all consistently showing CBN™ unique liquid herbal glycerites to be very stable, safe and pure. Further, glycerin's stability is evidenced by its ability to arrest REDOX (i.e. reducto oxidative processes – aka 'oxidation') in a Cedar bear Naturales™ product. [Alcohol possess an intrinsic tendency to actually enhance and drive REDOX in alcohol containing products over time, that in turn contributes to diminishing quality (such as inverting, precipitating, auto-complexifying, crystalization, etc.)]

Difficult To Extract Compounds That CBN™ Glycerite Processing Technologies Efficiently Extract
(Verified by Independent 3rd Party Lab Analysis and/or Organoleptic Analysis and/or 20+ Years Clinical-Based User Results)

Difficult  To Macerate/Extract  Compounds
Some  Representative  Herbs
  Fatty Oils (incl. GLA & ALA-rich compounds)  Evening Primrose, Flax, Purslane
  Mucilants (Crosslinked (i.e. tightly bound) compounds)  Irish Moss, Kelp, Fenugreek, Marshmallow
  Oleoresins (Oils/Resins compounds)  Capsicum, Ginger, Pepper, Pine, Yarrow
  Polysaccharides (Linear (i.e. 'packed') compounds (incl. Chitin))  Cordyceps, Echinacea, Elecampane, Kava Kava
  Resinoids (pure Resins & Gums compounds)  Copal, Frankinscense, Myrrh
  Sitosterols (Waxy compounds)  Elderberry, Lycium, Pygeum, Saw Palmetto

NOTE: Based on popular published herbal extraction information these compounds are not supposed to be able to be macerated/extracted with glycerin and/or glycerite processing techniques. (By glycerite processing techniques it is meant to imply true alcohol-free glycerin-based mediums used in macerations/extractions.) CBN™ glycerite processing technologies breaks this barrier due to original R&D that led to the innovative multi-step proprietary protocols, procedures and specialized equipment utilized in CBN™ true alcohol-free glycerin-based liquid processing of botanicals containing difficult to extract compounds. Alcohol is known to be a good exctractive solvent for some of these compounds (i.e. Oleoresins and Resinoids) though it has a denaturing and inert rendering effect on these same compounds. However, CBN™ proprietary glycerin-based processing technologies meet and often exceed alcohol's extractive efficiency and potential for these compounds without the well established and known denaturing and/or inert rendering effects alcohol often imparts to these compounds. Where the highly linear polysaccharide chitin is concerned, which alcohol cannot penetrate or break down (and in fact further hardens/crystalizes), CBN™ innovative glycerin-based serialized processing technologies excel at extracting chitin-bound compounds. (Glycerin is actually a recognized efficient extractive solvent for other botanical compounds as noted in both published texts and broad industry use.)

• Independent 3rd party lab analysis proven liquid glycerite based extraction technology.

In 2005 the claimed for efficiency of the proprietary 6th generation TincTract® liquid herb glycerite based processing technology was verified through a landmark independent 3rd party lab analysis. Analyzing the TincTract® of Cordyceps was decided by CBN™ to be the best indicator of overall extractive efficiency for all the other products CBN™ makes. Why?  Because Cordyceps consists of the same material as a crab and lobster shell does. This material is called chitin (pronounced 'ki-tn'), and alcohol and/or non-critical water based extractions will not break down or penetrate chitin enough to effectively extract Cordyceps (or any other mushroom/fungi) compounds. (In fact, the super-critical hot water extraction processes are still very limitied in their ability to break down chitin material evidenced by the need to take a super-saturate approach and the huge amount of raw material required to meet their requirements for sepcific 'Standardized' polysaccharide content.)

Part of the analysis included cedar Bear Naturales™ TincTract® of Cordyceps glycerite extractive efficiency being compared to a pharmaceutical based 50:1 high pressure gas extraction efficiency of Cordyceps. When the gram-for-gram of raw material extraction efficiency was compared, the TincTract® of Cordyceps glycerite extractive efficiency was found to be 500 to 700 times higher for 12 of 13 marker compounds analyzed than the pharmaceutical based 50:1 high pressure gas extraction processed Cordyceps sample – proving beyond a shadow of doubt that the TincTract® glycerite extraction technology is cutting-edge, very efficient and results in one of the most potent poly-constituent based liquid herbal products available.

• Unparalleled quality and great taste!

The resultant quality of CBN™ liquid herbal glycerite processing technologies are unparalleled. Cedar Bear Naturales™ liquid herbal glycerites have substance and are strong, potent and incredibly stable. CBN™ liquid herbal glycerites posses a rich, true color, indicating potency and consistent quality. Cedar Bear Naturales™ liquid herbal glycerites are so concentrated that less is needed per dose.  

Something unique and intrnsic to Cedar Bear Naturales™ proprietary processed liquid herbal glycerite products is that they taste good. In fact, they taste so good that children and pets absolutely love them.

• Very Earth Friendly.

All of Cedar Bear Naturales™ proprietary liquid herbal glycerite technologies are Green based and sustainable technologies that are very efficient in their energy usage and minimal carbon output into the atmosphere. CBN™ technology also has minimal impact on community services as minimal efluent waste is added to the community load, a substantial portion of the marc (spent processed herbal material) from processing is composted, and CBN™ only uses efficient minimal carbon output based (i.e. non-oil/non-coal/non-wood) and/or renewable hydro–produced energy to make its products and run its operations.  

Cedar Bear Naturales™ products possess one of the lowest 'erg' index's for liquid herbal products, and yet, these products are some of the most concentrated and potent in the industry. Believe it or not, CBN™ revolutionary and proprietary Generation 6 TincTract® Ratio–Intact poly-constituent synergy–sparing driven process allows CBN™ to use far less raw herbal material (often tons less) than wasteful high erg indexed non-earth friendly non-sustainable mono-constituent driven (Standardized) processes do – and yet CBN™ products still have a concurrent or greater 'efficacy' standard. It's what Cedar Bear Naturales™ calls "The TincTract® Magic." The same applies to CBN™ RAPID RESPONSE™ and SynerJuice® liquid herbal glycerite processing technologies.
