Cedar Bear Naturales® is proud to announce a new way for Natural Health Professionals, including Herbal and Holistic Health Practitioners, Naturopathic Doctors, Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, and more, to create individualized herbal formula blends for their clients.
Cedar Bear’s concentrated, effective, and great tasting TincTracts® are more than a tincture, more than an extract, and 100% alcohol-free from field to bottle.
The Cedar Bear® method of formulation assures that the Practitioner Preferred™ Apothecary products are 100% free of alcohol's denaturing and inert rendering effects, a huge consideration for the clinically inclined. These 100% alcohol-free products retain the biological viability and synergy of the active constituents. This means they retain the full therapeutic integrity as found in the raw herb ingredient, only in a more potent, efficacious, concentrated liquid format.
Alcohol-Free Extracts
Say goodbye to alcohol-based tinctures! Our TincTract® processed extracts are carefully crafted to preserve the potency and purity of each herb without alcohol's denaturing and inert rendering effects on herbal constituents, thus ensuring maximum efficacy. And they taste remarkably good, which assures greater use compliance by clients and patrons.

The Practitioner Preferred™ Herbal Apothecary Program was born out of a desire to restore and bolster community-serving apothecary dispensaries across the country and beyond.
Modern-day clinical practice is busy, and we here at Cedar Bear understand that just as much as anyone.
Before there was Cedar Bear, the founders L. Carl Robinson, MH, RH (AHG), a Clinical & Formulary Herbalist, and Jhoane Robinson, a Traditional Herbalist, practiced in a clinical setting with a large apothecary of herbs.
Carl’s apothecary, which predated his work with Jhoane and Cedar Bear, at one point held over 300 single, dried herbs, many of which he had sustainably wildcrafted or grown and harvested himself.
This apothecary has traveled with him, morphing, changing, being built upon, to the present day! So we understand the time, energy, and dedication that goes into building an apothecary.
The Practitioner Preferred™ Program has been created by practitioners, for practitioners, to ease the burden of starting from square one every step of the way. This program does all that work for you, leaving you, the practitioner, with more in-clinic time to focus on your clients.
As an added benefit, all of the TincTract® made liquid herbs in your Practitioner Preferred™ Herbal Apothecary are manufactured in a FDA Registered and NSF Certified facility, are FDA cGMP inspected, Kosher Certified, Vegan Certified, and Halal compliant (soon to be certified).
