Botanic Planet Canada tinctures are alcohol-based tinctures they are prepared according to North American Pharmacopoeia Standard. Tinctures are extracted from the herbs (Bark, Flower, Fruit, Leaf, Root & Seeds ) in 50% distilled cane sugar alcohol and distilled water at a 2:10 ratio. This is standard method of extraction with alcohol which helps extract almost all active ingredients from a herb yielding standard tinctures. Extracts are one of the simplest ways to enjoy the goodness of herbs. Alcohol eliminates the growth of bacteria and mold while preserving the valuable constituents resulting in a much longer shelf life.
Chaste berry tincture (from Vitex agnus-castus, also known as vitex or monk’s pepper) is an herbal remedy primarily used to support hormonal balance, in men and women. It’s typically made by steeping chaste berries in alcohol to extract the active compounds.
