General FAQ

Our facility is FDA registered and operates under FDA cGMP standards in an NSF-certified environment. All our products are Kosher, Vegan Certified, and Halal compliant, adhering to the Muslim dietary code. Proudly made in the USA, we are passionate about our work and firmly believe in the power of natural, whole herbs for enhancing your body and mind's health and wellness.

Herbal supplements are a category of dietary supplements, and are whole dried loose or typically in the commercial form of tablets, capsules, or liquids that contain herbs to supplement a diet that could be lacking in macro and micro nutrients that may not be available enough in a daily diet, or that the body needs more of to stay healthy. Just like a vitamin or mineral supplement, herbal supplements can be used to give your body the support that it needs to balance an imbalanced condition, or to stay healthy.

Iodine is a very important mineral that we are supposed to get from our food, but is lacking in the diet, sometimes to a high degree. Since our bodies cannot produce this mineral, it is important that you get enough from your diet via known iodine-rich foods and through supplementation to keep your body healthy. Iodine is the most necessary mineral for thyroid function and all metabolic functions of the body. However, an iodine supplement has to be the right form of iodine to do the job in the body, like Cedar Bear’s Pureudine™ processed fixed iodine.

Developed and named by Cedar Bear's founder, the name TincTract® is a contraction of the words TINCture and exTRACT, because it is more than a tincture and more than an extract. Our liquid herbs taste remarkably like the 'fresh' harvested botanical itself, which is indicative of removing constituents without denaturing or rendering them inert. The 'Genuine TincTract® Made' process retains an herbs primary, secondary and tertiary compounds in their ratio & synergy-intact state, indicated by the true-to-herb taste of our finished products.

You can take our products in a myriad of ways. Either straight on the tongue, or you can also mix the drops with your favorite tea, water and some Juices.

A proprietary blend is our formulation of the specific herbs in our products and the process to create them which ensures maximum synergistic properties. These were created specifically for Cedar Bear by the founder/owner, and are kept proprietary (protected) to ensure we provide you with the absolute best in health support products.

Wildcrafted means sustainably sourced herbs from their natural origin in the wild, meaning they are not 'cultivated.’ Cedar Bear prefers ethically wildcrafted herbs as ethical wild crafters assure that harvesting is done in a sustainable manner for the wild herbs.

All Cedar Bear products are Non-GMO.

Yes, all Cedar Bear products are Vegan Certified.

All our TincTracts are True 100% Alcohol Free. None is ever used.

Why use alcohol to extract something if that something is negatively affected by alcohol? We learned many years ago that ethanol alcohol denatures and renders inert many of an herb's constituents and properties. We don't use alcohol, ever! That means the glycerine we use in place of alcohol doesn’t denature or render inert any of an herbs constituents. Not using any alcohol at any time also assures our products meet Halal dietary standards and are totally GMO-free and Gluten-Free!

Yes, The FDA has set many regulations in place to protect you, the consumer, and we support them and you. All products are third-party tested both as to the single herb for identity before processing, and as the final product for purity and safety. All these test results are kept in-house and provided to the FDA at the time of inspections to prove we are doing everything to support all product quality standards and consumer safety.

Our glycerin is derived from Non-GMO palm oil that is GMO-Free, Kosher Certified and Halal Certified. Although the FDA classifies glycerin as a carbohydrate, it has little to no effect on blood sugar levels due to its having a 'low glycemic index,' and more importantly, a 'low glycemic load.' While alcohol also has a low glycemic index, it has a very high glycemic load, which glycerin does not have.

We use multi-stage purified water that is third-party tested for purity and safety to provide the cleanest and purest water possible for all our products.

Lot Numbers are an 8-digit sequence of numbers that are essential when tracking and identifying a product to its manufacturing batch or group. When provided, our team can quickly locate and provide immediate customer service about a product once given.

We were also the first to introduce totally alcohol-free liquid herbal formulas for pets into the marketplace. We have a complete pet line to choose from and all of our pet formulas are made with the same care and stringent standards that we follow for all of our other products.

Adaptogens support the body’s natural ability to cope with varying types of stress. Ashwagandha, Holy Basil Leaf and Maca Root are great examples of adaptogens. These herbs can also help support your body’s natural energy levels and immune stamina.

No, we are not an essential oils company. We are a 'whole herb' based liquid herbal products company. Our products are often confused with essential oils.
