Freeze-grinding
In order to extract the best of each plant with all its active principles, for the sole purpose of conveying them to you intact, we use a hightech process known as freeze-grinding.
The freeze-grinding process consists of powdering the active part of the dried plant by cold-crushing it in liquid nitrogen at –320.8°F. This produces a perfectly fine, homogeneous powder, the whole plant powder or plant totum.
Why use cold? Quite simply because studies have shown that the heat and oxidation occurring during standard grinding cause deterioration of vitamins, enzymes, volatile substances and many active principles.
Thus the plant totum obtained by freeze-grinding contains not only the whole of the active principles but also all the plant constituents that act synergetically to provide greater efficacy.
All our capsules, therefore, consist of whole powder in order to bring you all the plant components, intact.
Whole powder = complete bioavailability.
