Herb Pharm Launches Two New Alcohol-Free Herbal Glycerite Extracts
Green Tea and Rhodiola Glycerite Arriving on Retailers' Shelves in April
Williams, Oregon., April 24, 2008 /Natural Newswire/ - Herb Pharm, manufacturer of America's number one selling brand of liquid herbal extracts, today announced the introduction of two new alcohol-free herbal glycerite extracts -- Green Tea and Rhodiola root. For consumers who prefer liquid herbal extracts, they will now have broad access to alcohol-free liquid extracts of these two very popular herbs. Both products began shipping to natural products retailers in early April, and are also available online at www.herb-pharm.com.
Green Tea is a rich source of free-radical scavenging antioxidants. Herb Pharm's alcohol-free Green Tea glycerite is made from the young leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which are certified organically grown at Ambootia Tea Plantation in Darjeeling, India. To assure optimal quality, the leaves are hand-harvested at their peak of potency and then promptly heat-dried to stabilize and preserve their antioxidant catechins and flavonoids.
Rhodiola root has a long history of use in enhancing mental and physical energy and stamina. Herb Pharm's alcohol-free Rhodiola glycerite is prepared from the dried roots of Rhodiola rosea plants, which are harvested in their wild native habitat in the Russian Arctic Circle. To assure optimal extraction of Rhodiola's antioxidant flavonoids and delicate rose flavor, the roots are hand-harvested at their peak of potency, are carefully shade-dried, and are then shipped directly to our facility for prompt extraction.
"Our alcohol-free herbal glycerites are very similar to our liquid herbal extracts and they can be used in the same way," says medical herbalist, Ed Smith, founder and co-owner of Herb Pharm. "The difference is a slightly adjusted extraction process which enables us to extract the herbs with natural, GMO-free coconut-derived glycerine instead of alcohol."
