Every St. John's Wort extract is produced by the Bio-Chelated cold-extraction process at our cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York. Low-heat extraction is used to carry the botanical’s naturally occurring constituents through in their native ratios, which is what Bio-Botanica means by a Holistically Balanced, full-spectrum extract. The company has been family-owned and manufacturing botanical extracts since 1972.
St. John's Wort is available as alcohol-free extract, cosmetic glycerin extract, and oil infusion. Formulators specify these for dietary supplement, food and beverage, and cosmetic and personal care applications, with the carrier and format chosen to suit the finished product. Traditional uses of the botanical are noted for context only — structure/function positioning, not a consumer health claim.
