Why Extraction Method Matters
Not all herbal extracts are created the same. The method used to process herbs determines what compounds are actually pulled from the plant, how intact they remain, and how much you need per dose to feel an effect. Most products rely on a single, passive method. Ours does not.

We use a two-phase extraction combined with ultrasonic processing to access a broader range of plant constituents than traditional methods.
What this means in practice:
Alcohol extraction captures resins, alkaloids, flavonoids, and volatile compounds.
Water extraction captures polysaccharides, minerals, and heat-stable polar compounds.
Ultrasonic energy physically disrupts plant cell walls, increasing compound release without excessive heat or long soak times.
These phases are processed separately, then recombined to preserve compound diversity and balance.
Result:
A fuller-spectrum extract with higher compound availability per drop. -
Ultrasonic waves create microscopic cavitation bubbles in the liquid. When those bubbles collapse, they rupture plant cell walls. This is a mechanical process, not a chemical one.
Why that matters:
Faster extraction (minutes to hours instead of weeks)
Less oxidation and degradation
Lower solvent stress on sensitive compounds
Higher yield from the same amount of herb
This is not marketing language—it is a documented physical phenomenon used in food, pharmaceutical, and analytical chemistry.
-
Ultrasonic dual-phase extraction costs more, takes more equipment, and requires tighter process control. We use it anyway because it produces an extract that:
Requires smaller doses
Reflects the whole plant more accurately
Performs consistently across batches
If efficiency and cost were the goal, we would macerate and move on. This method is about outcome, not convenience.
By the Numbers
Relative Extraction of Total Bioactive Compounds (Normalized to Dry Herb)
Values represent normalized extraction yield per gram of dry herb. Data shown are illustrative, reflecting typical relative outcomes reported in published extraction studies. Actual recovery varies by herb, solvent composition, and processing parameters.
