Honey-Infused Glycerin Extract

What is a honey-infused glycerin fluid extract (EFGM)?

It is an extract obtained by macerating fresh, wild, or organic plants in alcohol, water, and glycerin, with a small amount of honey added. This process extracts all the plant’s active ingredients:

• those soluble in alcohol;
• those soluble in water;
• those soluble in fats.

This preparation, which is much richer than a simple tincture (a plant macerated in alcohol), accurately reflects the plant’s active ingredients, obtained without alteration or any harmful physical or chemical treatments. Thanks to the inclusion of very high-quality, non-industrial honey, it has a pleasant flavor and is quickly absorbed by the body.

Why choose honey-infused glycerin extracts for your health?

• These fluid glycerin-based extracts with honey are therefore an exact representation of the active ingredients of the processed plant, without any alteration whatsoever.
• No temperature increases that alter the flavonoids and vitamins.
• No preliminary freezing, which alters the intermolecular structure of the plant’s water—a factor important from an energetic standpoint.
• No grinding, which “breaks” the cell membranes of the plant tissues and brings enzymes and degradable compounds into contact too abruptly.
• E.F.G.M. products remain perfectly preserved even after the bottles are opened.
• Thanks to its low alcohol content (approximately 14.5% Vol.), its traditional liquid form, its ease of use, and its pleasant taste, it offers a level of comfort that everyone will appreciate.
• One teaspoon in a glass of water amounts to barely half a degree of alcohol per dose.
• The lack of toxicity in these dietary supplements at standard doses means these glycerin-based fluid extracts can be prescribed for everyone.
• Easy for the whole family to take (and even for your pets), it is taken diluted in a glass of water, at a dose of one teaspoon, 2 or 3 times a day depending on the plant and the specific situation (one teaspoon diluted in a glass of water contains less than half a degree of alcohol).

When should you choose the honey-sweetened glycerin extract?

• when you don’t want to prepare and drink herbal teas
• when you have trouble breaking open the ampoules
• when you have trouble swallowing or digesting capsules
• When you want to consume herbs while maintaining a pleasant taste.

The plants used to make EFG or hydro-alcoholic extracts (or mother tinctures) are all medicinal plants. In fact, they possess therapeutic properties that act on all the body’s systems:

• Nervous system
• Digestive system
• Genitourinary system
• Endocrine system
• Musculoskeletal system
• Circulatory system
• ENT system
• Dermatology

In this way, mother tinctures and EFGs offer a natural alternative for self-care that covers a wide therapeutic range, making them accessible to as many people as possible.

How are the plants used in EFGMs selected?

Fresh plants serve as the raw material for EFGs and certain hydro-alcoholic extracts. Consequently, the quality of the plants selected for the production of Phytofrance blends is essential to ensure optimal therapeutic efficacy.

When producing EFGs, phytotherapy laboratories prioritize the use of cultivated plants overwild-harvested ones. This allows experts to monitor the plant’s growth and its active ingredient content, ensuring it is harvested at the optimal time. Finally, avoiding wild harvesting helps prevent the extinction of certain species and keeps the ecosystem in balance.

Furthermore, Pileje’s experts carefully select the best variety of a given plant based on its concentration of active ingredients. In fact, the richer a plant species is in active ingredients, the more effective its therapeutic action will be. Additionally, the geographic region where the plant is harvested is an important quality criterion that directly impacts its composition.

Furthermore, Phytofrance and Weleda prioritize plants grown in Francewhenever possible. Otherwise, they source plants from countries where they grow best, while supporting the economic development of local communities. For example, guarana comes from Brazil, Orthosiphon from Indonesia, and turmeric and ginger from Vietnam.

Furthermore, the timing of the harvest is not chosen at random; it takes place when the plant is at its richest in active compounds. Thus, roots and leaves are harvested before the plant blooms, and flowers and flowering tops are harvested during dry periods.

Committed to the quality of its raw materials, Pileje regularly conducts audits of its fresh plant suppliers and tests randomly selected batches. For organically grown plants, tests for pesticides and heavy metals are performed regularly.

What extraction process does Phytofrance use for EFGMs?

At Phytofrance, liquid plant extracts are obtained through extraction, a key step that greatly influences the final quality of the EFG. In fact, this is a unique extraction process that allows the active ingredients responsible for the plant’s therapeutic action to be extracted without denaturing them.

The extracts are obtained by macerating fresh plants in three solvents: ethyl alcohol (14.5% vol.), water, and glycerin, each of which has a different extraction capacity. After this extraction, the mixture is blended with AB-certified honey.

• Ethanol facilitates the extraction of active compounds such as alkaloids, various heterosides (sulfur-containing, phenolic, cyanogenic, etc.), glycosides, and certain acids...
• Water is used to extract water-soluble compounds such as tannins, mineral salts, most flavonoids, and certain vitamins.
• Finally, glycerin or glycerol (plant-based) is used to extract virtually all other active ingredients, such as phenols, essential oils, and flavonoids, as well as the acids remaining after the aqueous extraction.
