What makes RAW Forest Foods Tinctures different?

Tinctures (or liquid extracts) are an important way of extracting, preserving and using herbs from plants and other elements. When creating tinctures, there are two basic components: the extracted substance and the liquid solution it is extracted into.

Usually, tinctures are developed using a mixture of plants, alcohol, and water. The compounds are suspended in the liquid while the solid substances are removed.

RAW Forest Foods provides only Clinical Grade Tinctures. The term Clinical Grade Tincture pertains to the ingredients used as well as the facility where these are developed and manufactured including the FDA cGMP standards and effectiveness of the extract.

Preparation

In preparation for the extraction, cGMP requires a strict documentation of the procedure. There are guidelines that must be followed in order to ensure that the ingredients listed on the label are specified clearly.

This includes the following steps:

1. Collection of raw materials used such as plants, fungi, water, alcohol and other sources that need to be extracted.

2. Selection of herbs as well as cleaning the materials.

3. Powdering of herbs to maximize the extraction successfully.

4. Measuring the ratio of the extraction for the final output.

Extraction Ratio

Tinctures are required to have a measured extraction ratio. This procedure specifies the quantity of herb in the extract including the amount of herb used in the production and the equivalent volume of that herb in the final output. The first number in the ratio pertains to the amount of herb in relationship to the amount of liquid used which is taken from the second number.

RAW Forest Foods provide a 2:1 ratio which means that the tincture is twenty times more concentrated than other products commonly available by other companies. With this ratio, every tincture dropper equals to 2.4 grams of fresh herb.

Combination of Ingredients

During extraction, the herbs are mixed with a solvent. Although there are different kinds of solvents, ethanol or alcohol and water is widely used. These solutions are easy to find, non-toxic, safe, effective, and produces a full range of extracts. RAW Forest Foods uses a combination of pharmaceutical grade ethanol or alcohol and filtered water.

Once the raw materials are mixed together, these ingredients must be kept for at least 2 weeks to ensure maximum extraction. The extraction ratio is determined by the weight of the herbs used in ratio to the quantity of alcohol. After the herbs and liquid are combined, the ingredients are stirred and kept in storage. The storing process is also referred to as percolation while the mixture of herbs and liquid is known as a menstruum.

Pressing

Once a full extraction has taken place, the menstruum is pressed to isolate the liquid from the solid substance. During this process, the compounds in the herb are already dissolved in the liquid. The solid particles are left to waste which is also called a marc.

The procedure of pressing is usually done by a hydraulic pressure or vacuum. After pressing and removal of marc, the output of the liquid is then filtered. The final output of the liquid is bottled, labeled stored.

RAW Forest Foods provide different extraction procedures in their products. These include liquid or tincture extracts, hot water powdered extracts and ethanol or alcohol powdered extracts. These methods produce standard procedures that identify the exact amount of herbs used before and after the extraction. This type of procedure is significant in using herbal medicines and researching the uses of herbs.

How to Take a Tincture

There are many techniques of using tinctures but the most widely used are by mixing it with water or placing it directly below the tongue.

It’s very easy to follow. Just fill a glass with 2 to 3 ounces of water, drop an amount of tincture and drink it. If you have apprehensions on the taste or content, you can heat up the water before it boils, add the tincture. The warmth of the water will condense the flavor of alcohol.

Most prefer the quickest way and just squirt the dropper directly under the tongue and keep it there for a couple of minutes. This method allows the medicine to spread and enter the blood supply through the veins.

The tincture is absorbed by the soft tissues in the mouth specifically the tongue. The compounds are able to pass through directly. Technically, it promotes quick absorption.

These methods contain fast absorbing benefits and do not need to pass the small intestines. Both techniques are easy and effective.
