TincTract® – An Integrative Alcohol-Free Technology!
Cedar Bear does not produce 'tinctures, it products 'TincTract®s,' and we only use vegetable glycerin which has none of the denaturing or inert rendering effects of alcohol on an herb's constituents and components.
The TincTract® process is an integrative approach to making our herbal concentrates. This is best described as, 'More than a TINCture and more than an eTRACT, it's a TincTract®.' No other process possesses the integrative nature and inputs that a TincTract® process does. – Meldeding of Tradition and Science, Applied Alchemy, Solvent Chemistry, Colloidal Chemistry, Serialized Fluid Chemistry, Thermodynamics, pH Dynamics, Phyto-Extractive Potentials, and Mechanical & Systems Engineering, are some of the integrative aspects incorporated into the TincTract® process.
The TincTract® process for making our herbal concentrates was developed by our founder L. Carl Robinson, MH, TT, CCHt, RH (AHG). The TincTract® process goes beyond tincturing, percolates, and macerations that can only result in 'weak' glycerites that may need added preservatives. TincTract® processed herbs are the most potent herbal glycerites available, and they taste remarkably good with no additional flavorings, preservatives or added chemicals.
Over 40 years ago, Carl, a clinical and formulary herbalist, developed the early 1st generation iteration of the synchronous serialized TincTract® process based on contemporary fluid chemistry, applied alchemical principles, that included principles of herbal energetics, to create the first ever potent and effective alcohol-free liquid herbal products with a great taste and our independent 3rd party lab verified 6 year product expery listing, the longest in the industry.
Decades later, the process has been generationally refined and perfected (now in its 12th generation iteration), evidenced by the 1st generation TincTract® recommended dose of 1 teaspoonful, to the 12th generation recommended dose of 1/4 teaspoon (1/8 teaspoon for children), so you can be assured of continued consistency, potency, and efficacy – the ultimate quality qualifier of all.
These liquid herbs are completely alcohol-free from start to finish, no hidden alcohol tags, no preservatives, and no added flavorings because they're not needed given a TincTract® already tastes good. 'Genuine TincTract® Made' herbal glycerites are the best option to alcohol made/containing product there is. Our formula-based Premium, Children's, Women's, and Pets lines, all first in the industry, are differentiated from all others, and have set the industry standard for totally alcohol-free herbal glycerites for over 40 years, longer than anyone else by decades! We are not only FDA Registered and FDA cGMP inspected, we are NSF Certified, Kosher Certified, Halal Certified, and Vegan Certified, along with being non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, Corn-Free,Sesame-Free, and Preservative-Free.
Great Taste
Taste is a major indicator of the constituent integrity and retained qualities of the raw herb extracted from. TincTract® herbs are very palatable and taste good, many remarkably close to the freshly harvested herb. This makes them easy and enjoyable to use regularly for both adults, children, and pets, and where clinically utilized enhances compliance of use. The proprietary TincTract® process, combined with the extractive versatilit and natural sweetness of glycerin, preserves the flavor profile of the herbs, making them more palatable compared to other companies liquid herbs.
This natural sweetness not only naturally moderates the bitterness of some herbs but glycerin also preserves their therapeutic and restorative properties through the TincTract® process enhancing glycerin's microencapsulating properties (provided there is a high glycerin-to-water ratio). The pleasant taste, with no added flavorings or preservatives, is especially appealing to children, encouraging consistent use and making it easier for parents to incorporate these herbal remedies into their family’s daily routine for optimal health benefits. The great taste of a 'Genuine TincTract® Made' product is unmatched by any others and has been so for over four decades. Great taste, with no added flavorings or preservatives, is a major differentiated definer of Cedar Bear® 'Genuine TincTrat® Made' potent herbal glycerites.
Consistent and Effective
Consistency in manufacturing brings consistent results. The TincTract® is a 'manufacture-standardized' process. We use the highest quality herbs available – organically certified, ethically wild-crafted, grown without chemicals, or acquired from verified trusted vendors. TincTract® made liquid herbs are concentrates with an amazing potency, taste, and effectiveness. Since no denaturing or inert rendering alcohol has been used, the taste and effectiveness have not been altered and the extracted constituents from the herbs have their ratio-intact and synergy-retained poly-constituent basis intact and active, making TincTract® herbs totally bio-available, and bio-utilizable, with their therapeutic and restorative integrity intact.
