Full Spectrum: The Native Remedies Approach to Herbal Manufacturing and Extraction
When you start with the finest raw ingredients, whole herbs organically grown and expertly picked, the process of turning them into high-quality, potent supplements is crucially important.
To do this, Native Remedies believes in the Full Spectrum method of extraction. An easy way to explain this method is by comparing it with a "standardized" extract. The standardized method aims to isolate and extract only active ingredients from herbs. Using standardized extracts, the thought is that the final product will be more consistent and controlled.
The Full Spectrum method keeps a plant as close to its natural makeup as possible. Extracting the whole part of the herb containing the plant's active ingredients -- the whole leaf, whole root, or whole stem, for example -- maintains the plant's natural integrity and balance, enhancing its overall therapeutic effects and keeping the extract as close to the original plant as possible.
The result is the use of all the plant's natural metabolites working in harmony together. Working like they would growing in the wild.
A Full Spectrum Approach to Manufacturing
We know what goes into our remedies -- that’s why we know what you will get out of them.
How do we ensure the best finished product?
Each of our herbal supplements goes through our 3 Point Quality Promise Process:
- Formulation
The first step always centers around determining our customers' needs and wants, then matching them with natural ingredients with proven effectiveness in both traditional medicine and recent clinical research.
- Raw Material Quality & Source
After formulation decisions come the raw materials. All of the raw ingredients we use are ethically wild harvested from their natural habitats, selectively imported if necessary, or organically grown whenever possible. They come from organic certified suppliers, contain no GMOs, and are never fumigated or irradiated. All raw ingredients are purchased from reputable suppliers with an accompanying Certificate of Analysis.
After receipt, the ingredients are quarantined for freshness to avoid contamination before manufacturing begins.
- Manufacturing
Our remedies are manufactured in-house in a FDA-registered, organic, Kosher-certified facility under strict, sterile conditions, ensuring no contamination occurs.
Raw ingredients and finished products undergo rigorous quality testing for potency and accurate plant identification, getting the approval of our registered manufacturing pharmacists on-site.
A 9-step water filtration and purification system is combined with a solvent to create our extract liquid – which later dissolves during the extraction process.
They are manufactured according to the principles of GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), using hydro-alcoholic extraction processes such as cold percolation, long-term macerations, hot water decoctions, emulsions, reductions, and more. The results are clean, safe, full spectrum extracts of whole herbs. The finest clinically developed extracts on the market today.
