Cedar Bear Technologies – TincTract®, Pureodine™, and BTC™ Products Manufacturer
'Liquid Herbs Reinvented!™' – Over many decades Cedar Bear®, under the direction of its founder, L. Carl Robinson, TT, CCHt, RH(AHG), an over four decades-long industry insider, clinical & formulary herbalist, nutritionist, and CAM practitioner, fondly referred to as an herbal alchemist, with a background in chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, and fluid processing technologies, has developed a number of innovative and revolutionary proprietary and trade secret alcohol-free manufacturing & processing technologies for making unprecedented ground-breaking liquid herbal, mineral, and dynamized vibrational products, as well as developing our unique and original category defining herbal formula blend recipes, many being firsts in our industry.
Having specialized in making totally alcohol-free liquid herbal, liquid minerals, and liquid vibrational products, we pride ourselves on implementing these unique technologies through innovative product development to produce high-quality fluid extracts and personal care restorative & nutritive products. The following introduces our proprietary and trade-secret technologies, with the first two being the most used Cedar Bear® technologies for making our good tasting, category-defining totally alcohol-free liquid herbals and stabilized mono element-based diiodine molecular iodine supplements. Cedar Bear Naturales® proprietary processing technologies are utilized for both our own Cedar Bear® brand products and for private-label & bulk ingredient customers through our LHI (Liquid Herbs International™) department (formerly CB Custom Manufacturing)).
TincTract® process – 'Liquid Herbs Reinvented™'
First developed in 1982 by our founder, L. Carl Robinson, who is a highly sought-after consulting herbalist and product development specialist, with decades of experience in both Cedar Bear® brand products, and the private label & bulk ingredient manufacturing industries. The TincTract® process is Cedar Bear®'s original proprietary flagship processing technology and the first of its kind in the industry. The TincTract® process was the result of Carl realizing that even though different solvents result in different extractive potentials for different botanical constituents, he was also aware that the methodology (i.e., the 'technology') utilized for extracting botanicals had a considerable influence, as much or even more, on extractive potentials. In other words, the solvent/medium used AND the process technology utilized determine extractive potentials and outcomes, not just the consideration of a solvent alone. This led to Carl's development of the totally alcohol-free, serialized multi-step TincTract process, an integrative approach that combines both solvent chemistry properties and process technology considerations to determine anticipated extractive potential outcomes.
The TincTract® process utilizes cutting-edge principles of contemporary fluid chemistry, customized equipment, and manufacture-standardized protocols, with the process being frameworked on a metaphoric 4-fold Applied Alchemy model. It is a unique, serialized, multi-step manufacturing process for making totally alcohol-free, potent liquid herbal concentrates using glycerin (and purified water) instead of alcohol or any other extractive solvent. This means TincTract® made products are not subject to the denaturing and inert rendering effects that alcohol-made products are subjected to. Yes! Alcohol possesses the intrinsic chemical characteristic of denaturing and rendering inert many constituents in a botanical, whereas glycerin does not.
The multi-step aspect of the TincTract® process also includes utilizing the best aspects of ‘low altitude’ and ‘high altitude’ processing within the technology itself, which is one of many other differentiators from other fluid processing technologies in the liquid herbal products industry, and is one factor that accounts for why the alcohol-free glycerin-based serialized multi-step TincTract® process removes more constituents and components than previously thought or done with other alcohol-based or totally alcohol-free glycerin-based fluid processing of botanical and mycelium extracts.
The TincTract® process is now in its 12th generation iteration of proprietary enhancements and refinements, evidenced by the stronger, more concentrated, potent, and higher quality liquid herbal products than of earlier generational iterations, that started at an effective dosing of one teaspoonful per dose, and is now and effective dose of 1/4 teaspoon per dose (1/8 teaspoon for children). This is just one of our innovative proprietary technologies developed by Carl that is used to ensure the highest quality standards found in liquid herbal products.The fact is, Carl and Cedar Bear® have been doing potent and concentrated, totally alcohol-free liquid herbs and formula-based liquid herbal products in the industry and marketplace longer than anyone else and, therefore, are the most knowlegable and experienced at doing so.
NOTE: Liquid Herbs International (LHI), Cedar Bear Naturales® private label & bulk ingredient manufacturing department, utilizes the Multi-Dynamic Extraction process for making alcohol-free herbal glycerite formulas and products. It’s the same serialized multi-step ‘process’ as the TincTract® process, but with the formula basis for formula blends done to accommodate a private label & bulk ingredient manufacturing scenario.
Pureodine™ process
This unique and cutting edge IP driven manufacturing process for making our totally alcohol-free stabilized glycerite of mono-element-base diiodine molecular iodine is a first-ever in the industry and marketplace for what is popularly called a nascent iodine. It was developed in 2007 by Carl, as the lead developer, and a select in-house team with specialized backgrounds in nuclear energy and electrics, theoretical physics, and systems modeling, all of which were relevant to developing this innovative technology that utilizes the proprietary transformative IHMVAS (Integrated Hydro Molecular Vortex Agitation System) accelerator. The Pureodine™ process is now in its 8th generation iteration of proprietary enhancements and refinements, making it the most stable and efficient mono-element-based diiodine molecular iodine available in the industry and marketplace. Aspects of the Pureodine™ process are also used for making concentrated, ultra-caged, and highly stable (i.e., stays in colloidal suspension) glycerite of mineral zeolites, unique only to Cedar Bear®, which is another industry first!
Biologically Targeted Coherent™ (BTC™) process
The BTC™ technology, developed by Carl in 1999, is a unique innovation original to Cedar Bear® for making highly stable 'vibrational energetic blanks' and complex vibrational-dynamized formulae products for agriculture, livestock, humans, pets, and research purposes. The BTC™ technology was the first 'true' alcohol-free approach to frequency-based dynamized and flower essence-based products in the industry and marketplace. The BTC™ technology involves exacting proprietary procedures, protocols, mathematical constructs, and custom-built instruments. The stability of our BTC™ made products is unmatched in the industry and marketplace. We've been creating and making alcohol-free vibrational dynamized products longer than anyone else in the industry and are more experienced at doing so. The alcohol-free concept for making flower essence products was so revolutionary and innovative that it has been imitated in the marketplace at large, but even though such products may be alcohol-free, they are not made using the innovative and highly stable complex vibrational locking-in BTC™ technology, which differentiates BTC™ made products from all others.
Other unique and original proprietary processes
Due to Carl's fluid chemistry processing insights, Cedar Bear® also has other original totally alcohol-free proprietary fluid processes developed by him for making other highly unique products and ingredients used in both Cedar Bear®'s brand of products and in its LHI (Liquid Herbs International™) private label & bulk ingredient manufacturing operation. One such example is the Citritol™ process for making our unique and original micro-fractionated poly-ionic LTMs (Liquid Trace Minerals), that micro-fractionates a typical 32 oz size bottle of colloidal LTMs down to 2 oz! It's called microBURST!™, another innovative industry first!
