Why Choose Cedar Bear

Liquid Herbs Reinvented!™

• An integrative approach like no other, that blends tradition, applied alchemy, innovative principles of modern 'serialized' fluid chemistry, and complementary science-based principles and practices – resulting in the 'Wisdom of Nature in Every Drop™.' 

• None of the denaturing or inert rendering effects of alcohol on an herb's constituents, components, and intrinsic synergy is what differentiates TincTract® liquid herbs from alcohol-based offerings. 'Denatured' is defined as: Take away or alter the natural qualities of.; Alter or destroy characteristic properties by disrupting molecular confirmation." We're talking basic chemistry here. Also, we don't use fraction-isolate-based highly concentrated phytopharmaceutical ingredients because the chemical solvents and harsh processing methods used in their making have the same or similar denaturing and inert rendering effect on those products as alcohol would impart.

• Doing 'alcohol-free' for 40+ years means we have been doing 'totally' alcohol-free longer and know more than anyone else regarding this specialized herbal products category.

• Innovation is our calling card – numerous industry firsts unmatched by any others – TincTract® made products were the first liquid herbal products in the industry to offer 'true' alcohol-free formula-based product lines for Children, Pets, Equine, and for Women's need, along with numerous innovative formulary firsts for conditions and body systems that are now widely imitated by other liquid herbal products companies.

• Decades of clinical & formulary expertise – Our founder, L. Carl Robinson, TT, CCHt, RH(AHG), formulates our potent, efficacious, and good tasting 'true' alcohol-free TincTract® made liquid herbal concentrates utilizing a multiplex (i.e., differentiated) approach that includes phytotherapeutics (conditions-based clinical herbalism), phytopharmacognosy, alchemic-based herbal energetics, degrees of action considerations, minerals profiling, pH factoring chemistry, constituents chemical interactions, tri-dominance measures of an herbal formula blend, biological effects (biochemical & physiological aspects), the body systems & ABC+D principles, traditional herbal practice considerations, and taste. It's one of the most differentiated and extensive approaches utilized in the herbal product industry for formulating our very effective and good tasting complex whole-based herbal formula blends.

• The first in our industry category to be Kosher certified and first to manufacture Passover liquid herbs, and the first and only liquid herbal products to be Halal certified. We're also NSF certified, and Vegan certified, and GMO-free, Soy-free, Sesame-free, Preservative-free, and Additives-free.

• Our TincTract® made liquid herbs are 'whole' poly-constituent-based, which means that the broad spectrum of constituents and components released from an herb into the fluid medium are in their ratio-intact state, retaining the integrity of the synergy between the primary, secondary, and tertiary constituents. Fraction-isolate mono-constituent-based phytopharmaceuticals break the ratio-intact state of a botanical's constituents in favor of one particular 'primary' constituent, and thus also break the intrinsic synergy of a botanical. A TincTract® made product is about retaining the 'natural' integrity of the 'whole' herb and its intrinsic synergy.

• Good tasting like no others – The truer to taste something is the truer its effect will be on the body. Our 'whole' herb-based alcohol-free liquid herbs are poly-constituent-based and contain the broad spectrum of ratio-intact constituents in their synergy retained state, which results in 'true-to-taste' quality that triggers the chemical, energetic, and vibrational effects of TincTract® made liquid herbs and herbal formulas.

• We don't do dry herbs, such as dehydrated, powdered, freeze-dried forms that have been encapsulated, or tableted, because their constituents and components are still bound to the cellulose matrix of an herb, of which humans have no cellulose-digesting enzyme (celluase) to release components from an herb's cellulose. Liquid herbs are a type of pre-digested preparation that's highly compatible with extracting more of an herb's virtues than a dried preparation containing cellulose can provide to the body.

• We dont gel-cap or encapsulate our products. Many people have weak digestive systems that have a difficult time breaking down and digesting tablets, gel-caps, or capsules containing 'dry' ingredients. This means a large percentage of the consumed 'dry' herb ingredient may not release into the digestive system and thus gets expelled with the undigested tablet or gelatin portion, thus not obtaining the full benefit of the consumed product. TincTract® made liquid herbs start their journey into the body immediately upon entering the mouth.

• Being liquid means TincTract® made products fully interface with oral taste receptors. The herbs contained in tablets, gel-caps, and capsules bypass the oral taste receptors, which chemically, energetically, and vibrationally triggers digestive and systemic functions, thus tablets, gel-caps, and capsules short-circuit the digestive and systemic functions required for 'complete' digestion, absorption, and utilization of herbs benefits  We do not gel-cap or encapsulate our liquid herbs like some other companies do. Our products are liquid from bottle-to-mouth, thus working with the oral taste receptors to trigger the digestive and systemic functions of the body for recieving the full benefit of TincTract® made liquid herbs.

• We're a company of multi-quality standards – one of the most multi-quality standards driven in our segment of the industry. Some of those standards include: U.S. FDA Registered & Inspected Facility; Good Manufacturing Practices; NSF Certified; 3rd Party Lab Testing; 100% Alcohol-Free!; Clinically Tested Ingredients; 'Whole' Herb Poly-Constituent Based; True to Taste; Multiplex Formulating; Kosher (Kashrus) Certified; Halal Certified; Vegan Certified; Ethically Wildcrafted Ingredients; Also Using Organic Ingredients; GMO-Free!; USP-Grade Halal & Kosher Certified Vegetable Glycerin ; Preservative-Free!; Additives-Free!; Mom & Kid Approved; Pet Approved; Fair Trade Oriented; Gluten/Soy/Sesame-Free!; Astounding Product Stability; FDA Label Compliant; ECO-Friendly; Carbon Neutral; Zero Waste; Additional In-House QA/QC Standards; The TincTract® Process; The Pureodine™ Process; Trust & Integrity!; Majority Woman-Owned & Woman-Run; Manufactured in the USA Products; Been Doing It Since 1982. If quality is a concern, along with product effectiveness and good taste, why go anywhere else? 

• Read on... You'll be impressed and maybe surprised at our reinventing liquid herbs to a whole new level that was not previously thought possible but was made so by the founder of Cedar Bear® – over 40 years ago!.

TincTract® – An Integrative Alcohol-Free Technology... 'Liquid Herbs Reinvented!™'

Cedar Bear® does not produce 'tinctures, it produces 'TincTract®s,' and we only use USP Grade Non-GMO Kosher & Halal certified vegetable glycerin as the primary extractive solvent which has none of the denaturing or inert rendering 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 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 for easier digestion and benefit.

Also, we do not make 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 herbs. Unlike phytopharmaceutical preparations or 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!

DEFINITION OF TincTract®
The TincTract® process is an integrative serialized approach to making our herbal concentrates. This 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 integrative nature and inputs that a TincTract® process does. – It's a melding of tradition and 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 POTENT HERBAL GLYCERITES AVAILABLE
The TincTract® process for making our herbal 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 the most potent herbal glycerite concentrates available, 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 clinical & formulary herbalist and CAM practitioner, 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 principles, 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.

TOTALLY ALCOHOL-FREE!
Our liquid herbs are completely alcohol-free from start to finish, 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 glycerites 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.

NUTRITIONAL DENSITY
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 nutritional properties. Glycerin is a healthy nutritive (whereas alcohol is not) that does not denature or render inert constituents and nutritive factors like alcohol does, which means enzymes, co-factors, organo-mineral electrolytes/trace mineral complexes, macro-compounds, etc., are removed and preserved in an undenatured state, with their intrinsic synergy remaining intact. Hey, we're talking basic chemistry and nutritional science here.

MULTI QUALITY STANDARDS PRODUCT OFFERINGS
Our formula-based Premium, Children's, Women's, and Pets lines, and our singles, all totally alcohol-free firsts in the industry, are differentiated from all others, and have set the industry standard for totally alcohol-free herbal glycerite concentrates for over 40 years, longer than anyone else by decades! We are not only FDA Registered and FDA GMP inspected, we are NSF Certified, Kosher Certified, Halal Certified, and Vegan Certified, along with being GMO-Free, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, Sesame-Free, and Preservative & Additive-Free, and use ethically wildcrafted, wild-cultivar, certified organic, and verified chemical-free grown herbs.

YOUR GO-TO BRAND FOR 'HERBAL HEALTH' SOLUTIONS
With so many quality assurances, being the most concentrated, potent, stable, and best tasting in the industry for our product category, decades of clinical and consumer proven efficacy and 40+ years experience in the alcohol-free segment of the liquid herbal products industry – it only makes sense to make Cedar Bear® Genuine TincTract® Made 'true' Alcohol-Free liquid herbal products your first and foremost go-to solution for herbal health!

Great Taste

Taste is a major indicator of the constituent integrity and retained qualities of the raw herb extracted from. Taste is intricately tied to the gut's digestive processes and initial systemic, energetic, and vibrational responses. Alcohol-based herbs taint taste and can disrupt those digestive and systemic connections. And 'dry' herbal products that are dehydrated, powdered, freeze dried, then encapsulated or tableted, bypass the oral taste receptors, which diminishes the digestive system and body's systemic response for receiving the herbs. Taste is a major part of healing, restoration, regeneration, and systemic interfacing of the body with ingested herbs.

TincTract® herbs are very palatable and taste good, many remarkably close to the freshly harvested herb. This makes them easy and enjoyable to use regularly for adults, children, and pets, and where clinically utilized, enhances compliance of use. The proprietary TincTract® process, combined with the extractive versatility, enhanced micro-encapsulating property of, and natural sweetness of glycerin, preserves the flavor profile of the herbs, making them more palatable compared to other companies liquid herbs.

This natural sweetness not only naturally moderates the bitterness of some herbs but glycerin also preserves their therapeutic and restorative properties through the TincTract® process enhancing glycerin's microencapsulating properties (provided there is a high glycerin-to-water ratio). The pleasant taste, with no added flavorings or preservatives, is especially appealing to children, encouraging consistent use and making it easier for parents to incorporate these herbal remedies into their family’s daily routine for optimal health benefits. The great taste of a 'Genuine TincTract® Made' product is unmatched by any others and has been so for over four decades. Great taste, with no added flavorings or preservatives, is a major differentiated definer of Cedar Bear® 'Genuine TincTrat® Made' potent herbal glycerites.

Consistent and Effective

Consistency in a manufacturing brings consistent results. The TincTract® is a 'manufacture-standardized' process. We use the highest quality herbs available – ethically wild-crafted, wild-cultivar, organic certified, chemical-free grown, or acquired from verified trusted vendors. TincTract® made liquid herbs are medicinal/corrective-nutritionally dense herbal concentrates with an amazing potency, taste, and effectiveness. Since no denaturing or inert rendering alcohol has been used, the effectiveness and taste factors have not been altered and the extracted constituents from the herbs have their ratio-intact and synergy-retained poly-constituent basis intact and active, making TincTract® herbs totally bio-available, and bio-utilizable, with their therapeutic, restorative, and regenerative integrity intact.
