How is this extract made?
We ultrasound technology for extraction, keeping temperatures below 38 degrees Celsius (100°F). This protects the sensitive bioactive compounds in the root. The extract is then concentrated at room temperature, so the natural composition stays intact. It's a full spectrum extract, meaning all the plant's active components are present in their natural ratio.
How to use
You can add the extract to smoothies, hot tea, milk (dairy or plant-based), or plain water. Start with a small amount to see how your body responds - 1 to 2 ml per day is often recommended, but you can adjust to your own needs. The taste is pleasant and slightly bitter, which pairs well with sweet drinks or fruit smoothies. Since it's a highly concentrated extract, you don't need large amounts.
