Need a gentle, effective, easy-to-take solution to support your day-to-day health? The honeyed fluid glycerine extracts (EFGM) available on Soin-et-Nature are prepared from fresh plants, using a process that respects all the active ingredients naturally present in the plant. Their pleasant texture and rapid absorption make them an ideal option for supporting digestion, hormonal balance, circulation and natural defenses, with no daily constraints.

What is Honey Glycerine Fluid Extract (H.G.F.E.)?

It's an extract obtained by macerating fresh, wild-crafted or organic plants in alcohol, water and glycerine, with a little honey added. This allows us to obtain all the plant's active ingredients:

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

This preparation, much richer than a simple tincture (plant macerated in alcohol), is the exact reflection of the plant's active principles, obtained without alteration or traumatizing physical or chemical treatments. Thanks to the presence of high-quality, non-industrial honey, it has a pleasant taste and spreads rapidly through the body.

Why choose honey glycerine extracts for your health?

These honeyed glycerol fluid extracts are the exact reflection of the active ingredients of the plant treated, without any alteration.
No temperature rise to alter flavonoids and vitamins.
No preliminary freezing to alter the intermolecular structure of the plant's water, which is important for energy.
No grinding, which "breaks" the cell membranes of plant tissues, and brings enzymes and degradable products into contact too abruptly.
E.F.G.M. is perfectly preserved, even after opening.
Its low alcoholic strength (approx. 14.5%Vol), classic liquid form, ease of use and pleasant taste make it a pleasure to use for everyone.
A teaspoonful in a glass of water corresponds to barely half a degree of alcohol per dose.
The non-toxicity of these dietary supplements at usual doses means that they can be prescribed for everyone.
Easy to take by the whole family (and even by your pets), they are taken diluted in a glass of water, at the rate of one teaspoon, 2 or 3 times a day, depending on the plant and the case (one teaspoon diluted in a glass of water corresponds to less than half a degree of alcohol).

When should you choose honey glycerine fluid extract?

This triple maceration extracts all the active ingredients soluble in water, alcohol and glycerine.

The plants used to make EFG or hydroalcoholic extracts (or mother tinctures) are all medicinal plants. In fact, they have therapeutic properties that act on all the body's systems:

Nervous system
digestive system
Genito-urinary system
Endocrine system
Locomotor system
Circulatory system
ENT system
Dermatology

In this way, mother tinctures and EFGs represent a natural alternative for self-care that covers a vast therapeutic field, making them accessible to the widest possible audience.

How are the plants used in EFGMs selected?

Fresh plants are the raw material for EFG and certain hydroalcoholic extracts. For this reason, the quality of the plants chosen for Phytofrance blends is essential to guarantee optimal therapeutic action.

For the preparation of EFGs, phytotherapy laboratories prefer to use cultivated plants, rather than wild plants. In this way, experts can monitor the plant's growth and active ingredient content, so as to harvest it at the most opportune moment. Last but not least, avoiding wild harvesting avoids the extinction of certain species and the imbalance of the ecosystem.

In addition, Pileje's experts carefully select the best species of the same plant based on its concentration of active ingredients. In fact, the richer a plant species is in active principles, the more effective its therapeutic action will be. The geographical area in which the plant is harvested is also an important quality criterion which directly impacts its composition.

In addition, Phytofrance or Weleda give preference to plants grown in France, whenever possible. Otherwise, they source from the countries where they grow best, while promoting the economic development of local populations. For example, guarana comes from Brazil, Orthosiphon from Indonesia, Turmeric and Ginger from Vietnam.

Moreover, the timing of plant harvesting is no coincidence: it takes place when the plant is richest in active compounds. Thus, roots and leaves are harvested before the plant flowers, and flowers and flowering tops during dry periods.

Concerned about the quality of its raw materials, Pileje regularly audits its suppliers of fresh plants and controls randomly selected batches. Pesticides and heavy metals are regularly measured in the case of organically grown plants.

What is the extraction process used by Phytofrance for EFGM?

At Phytofrance, plant fluid extracts are obtained by extraction, a key stage which greatly influences the final quality of the EFG. This is a unique extraction process that extracts the active principles behind the plant's therapeutic action, without denaturing them.

Extracts are obtained by macerating fresh plants in three solvents: ethyl alcohol (14.5% vol.), water and glycerine, each with a different extraction power. After extraction, the mixture is stirred with AB honey.

The ethanol is used to extract active ingredients such as alkaloids, various heterosides (sulfuric, phenolic, cyanogenetic, etc.), glycosides, certain acids...
Water is used to obtain water-soluble principles such as tannins, mineral salts, most flavonoids and certain vitamins.
Finally, glycerine or glycerol (of plant origin) is used to extract virtually all other active ingredients such as phenols, essential oils and flavonoids, as well as the acids remaining after aqueous extraction.
