Understanding the Bio-Chelated® Cold Extraction Process

Bio-Botanica sets itself apart with its proprietary Bio-Chelated® Cold Extraction process.

Bio-Botanica’s herbal Extracts are formulated according to traditional procedures recommended by the United States Pharmacopeia, the medical text used as a formulary for herbal processing. Alcohol, along with other all natural solvents are originally used to extract the active constituents from whole plants. Once the extraction process is completed, Bio-botanica initiates its proprietary Bio-Chelated® Cold Extraction technique, an exclusive natural process that utilizes cold vacuum technology to remove the alcohol used during the menstruum soaking phase.

The essence of cold extraction lies in its meticulous adaptation to each plant’s unique characteristics, ensuring that the final extract remains holistically balanced, mirroring the natural composition found within the plant itself. This approach guarantees extracts of unmatched potency and purity, embodying Bio-Botanica’s commitment to harnessing nature’s power.
