FAQs

Dual extraction is an advanced herbal extraction method that uses both alcohol and water to obtain the full spectrum of beneficial plant compounds. Some herbal constituents are water-soluble, while others are alcohol-soluble, so using both ensures maximum potency and effectiveness.
Why is Dual Extraction Better?
- Captures More Beneficial Compounds – Water extracts flavonoids, polysaccharides, and vitamins, while alcohol extracts alkaloids, resins, and essential oils.
- Higher Potency & Bioavailability – This method ensures a more complete and effective extract.
- Mimics the Full Power of the Plant – You get all the active constituents, not just what a single extraction can capture.
At Treasure Valley Botanicals, we use this scientifically precise method to ensure each extract delivers the most bioavailable and potent version of the herb.
Not at all! Our tinctures are made using a hydroethanolic-to-glycerin extraction method, ensuring maximum potency and bioavailability without the need for alcohol in the final product.
Alcohol is used initially to extract a full spectrum of beneficial compounds, as some plant constituents are more soluble in alcohol. We then carefully remove the alcohol and replace it with vegetable glycerin, which acts as a natural preservative while also enhancing taste and ease of use. This method retains the potency of the extract while making it gentler, more palatable, and safe for all ages and pets.
Our glycerin-based tinctures are just as effective as traditional alcohol-based extracts—but without the burn or harsh taste, making them a high-quality alternative for those seeking a smooth, alcohol-free herbal remedy.
To maintain the freshness, potency, and effectiveness of our herbal products, we recommend proper storage based on the type of product. Each formulation contains natural plant compounds that can be sensitive to heat, light, and air exposure. Proper storage will extend shelf life and preserve the herbal integrity of your products.
Tinctures (Glycerin-Based Extracts)
- Store at room temperature (preferably between 55°F and 75°F).
- Keep in a dark, dry place, like a cabinet or pantry—away from sunlight and heat.
- Do not refrigerate, as cold temperatures can thicken vegetable glycerin and make dispensing more difficult.
- Shelf Life: Typically 1-2 years when stored properly.
