Q: What is the Organic Glycerin Made from?
A: Our Organic Glycerin is derived from Rapeseed, a yellow flowering plant in the mustard family Brassicaceae.
Q: Why make a glycerin-based herbal rather than alcohol-based?
A: These botanicals are made through dynamic processes, extracting heat-sensitive compounds with glycerin. This allows for more bioavailability of the organic compounds found in the herbs that would otherwise be denatured and rendered inert by alcohol. Additionally, by making our tinctures alcohol-free, we aim to make a more inclusive product for all!
Q: How can an herbal support detox?
A: Certain herbs have been used traditionally as a diuretic and may aid in the clearance of toxins from the body through urine by supporting the natural function of the kidneys.
Q: What is an herbal tonic?
A: An herbal tonic is an herb or botanical complex that supports overall health and maintenance of bodily systems and promotes a sense of well-being.
Q: How can an herb provide metabolic support?
A: By helping promote insulin sensitivity through the maintenance of a normal phosphorylation process, this herb may support glucose metabolism.
Q: What is the content of Stinging Nettle Leaf in this product?
A: While this is a proprietary blend (and thus we cannot disclose the amounts of Stinging Nettle Leaf in the product), this is also just a difficult question to answer! Our herbal products are glycerites, which means that the botanicals are steeped in glycerin to extract the beneficial constituents and compounds contained in the botanical(s).
Rather than thinking of it like a recipe, where a certain amount of x is added to y, it may be easier to think of it like a tea bag steeped in hot water. The tea it produces doesn't contain what was contained in the tea bag (otherwise you're drinking small bits of whatever was in your tea bag!), but the steeping process pulls flavors, aromatics, and various compounds from the bag of tea. The process of creating a glycerite herbal product is similar to this!
