CEDAR BEAR® DOES NOT PRODUCE 'TINCTURES,' IT PRODUCES 'TincTract®' CONCENTRATES
And we only use USP Grade Non-GMO Kosher & Halal certified vegetable glycerin as the primary extractive solvent which has none of the denaturing, inert rendering, or oxidative-driving effects of alcohol on an herb's constituents and components.
AND, WE DON'T DO DRIED HERBAL PREPARATIONS
Such as dehydrated, powdered, or freeze-dried that are encapsulated, gel-capped, or tableted. Such preparations, regardless of the benefits claimed, are still cellulose-based, which binds an herb's constituents within its matrix, of which the human body does not possess the cellulose digesting enzyme, cellulase, to break down and release the virtues of an herb into the body. Liquid herbs are a type of pre-digested herbal product, meaning the constituents and components of an herb have been removed from the cellulose for easier digestion, absorption, and benefit.
ALSO, WE DON'T MAKE 'SYNERGY-BROKEN' FRACTION-ISOLATE MONO-CONSTITUENT-BASED 'DRUG-LIKE' PHYTOPHARMACEUTICALS, AND WE DON'T USE THEM EITHER
We only use 'whole' herbs, in the making of our TincTract® made liquid herbal concentrates. Unlike phytopharmaceutical preparations and the 'Standardized' products that contain them, TincTract® made liquid herbs contain the broad spectrum of an herb's constituents in their ration-intact and synergy retained state. This means a more natural approach to using herbs, as nature intended!
WE DON'T USE ALCOHOL – EVER!
A fundamental chemistry fact is that alcohol possesses intrinsic denaturing, inert rendering, and oxidative-driving effect on the constituents of herbs, and other biologicals and their components. That is one of the main reasons we don't use alcohol in making our products.
HOW AN EXTRACTIVE SOLVENT IS USED IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE SOLVENT BEING USED
We don't subject our glycerin solvent to a passive process (i.e., tincturing) like other companies do in making their herbal glycerites, or straight high heat as other do, but subject it to a series of steps where each step increases in dynamics to access the full extractive potential of glycerin for various types of an herb's constituents, that when done in this manner rivals, and in many instances even exceeds alcohol's extractive potential. We were the first in the liquid herbal products industry to realize and take advantage of glycerin's extractive potential. That means we've been doing this form of alcohol-free longer than anyone else, and know moare about herbal glycerite medicine-making than anyone else.
DEFINITION OF TincTract®
The TincTract® process is an original integrative serialized approach to making our herbal concentrates that utilizes glycerin as the extractive solvent. It is best described as, 'More than a TINCture and more than an eTRACT, it's a TincTract®.' No other liquid herbal medicine-nutritive making process possesses the type of integrative inputs that a TincTract® process does. – It's a melding of tradition with contemporary science, that includes: applied alchemy; solvent chemistry; colloidal chemistry; serialized fluid chemistry; principles & practices of thermodynamics; pH factoring; phyto-extractive potentials (that vary from herb to herb); and custom mechanical & engineering of specialized equipment and implements are some of the integrative aspects incorporated into the revolutionary, innovative, and proprietary TincTract® process.
THE MOST SYNERGY-RETAINED HERBAL GLYCERITE CONCENTRATES AVAILABLE
The TincTract® process for making our herbal glycerite concentrates was developed over 40 years ago by our founder L. Carl Robinson, TT, CCHt, RH(AHG). The TincTract® process goes beyond tincturing, percolates, and macerations that can only result in 'weak' glycerites that may need added preservatives, with some even doing the no-no of adding alcohol to boost asepticicity. TincTract® processed herbs are potent poly-constituent-based synergy-retained herbal glycerite concentrates, and they taste remarkably good with no additional flavorings, preservatives or added chemicals.
CUTTING EDGE FLUID CHEMISTRY & APPLIED ALCHEMY PRINCIPLES
Over 40 years ago, Carl, a CAM practitioner and a clinical & formulary herbalist, who worked from a personal apothecary of hundreds of different herbs, developed the early 1st generation iteration of the synchronous serialized TincTract® process based on cutting-edge fluid chemistry and principles of applied alchemy, that included herbal energetics and vibrational theory, to create the first ever potent and effective 'true' alcohol-free liquid herbal glycerite products with a great taste and astounding long-term stability that includes 3rd party lab verified 6 year product stable & safety expery listing, the longest in the industry.
GENERATIONALLY ENHANCING INNOVATIONS
Over the decades since its inception, the TincTract® process has been generationally refined and perfected (now in its 12th generation iteration), evidenced by the 1st generation TincTract® recommended dose of 1 teaspoonful, to the 12th generation recommended dose of 1/4 teaspoon (1/8 teaspoon for children). So you can be assured of continued consistency, potency, and efficacy – the ultimate quality qualifier of all.
THE BEST ALCOHOL-FREE OPTION AVAILABLE
Because our liquid herbs are completely alcohol-free from start to finish, there are no hidden alcohol tags, no preservatives, and no added flavorings because they're not needed given a TincTract® already tastes good. 'Genuine TincTract® Made' herbal glycerite concentrates are the best alternative/option available to alcohol made/containing product there is. Our being not only the first of its kind of totally alcohol-free products, but the first to be Kosher certified and the first to be and currently the only Halal Certified liquid herbal products manufacturer in the industry. Being Halal Certified proves beyond a shadow of a doubt we are indeed 'true' Alcohol-Free!
NUTRITIONAL DENSITY
The micro-nutrient aspect of herbalism is often glossed over or ignored, but herbs micro-nutrients play an important role in herbalism. Because the TincTract® is a serialized process for removing and preserving both heat sensitive constituents and components requiring a dynamic input to be removed from herbal material, and never use any alcohol but glycerin instead, our products not only contain medicinal/corrective properties, but also possess astounding restorative and regenerative micro-nutrient properties that are synergy affixed with the other constituents. Glycerin is a healthy macro-nutritive (whereas alcohol is not) that does not denature or render inert constituents and nutritive factors like alcohol does, which means other macro-nutrients, mineral electrolytes, and micro-nutrients of enzymes, vitamins, co-factors, organo-bound trace mineral, etc., are removed and preserved in an undenatured state, with their intrinsic synergy to each other remaining intact. Hey! We're talking basic chemistry and nutritional science here.
