Ingredients

Supercritical extracts of wild romaine, wild fennel, wild oregano P73 and extra virgin olive oil.

Composition under the microscope

Supercritical extracts

Supercritical extract is a highly pure and concentrated form of plant extract that is obtained through an advanced extraction process using supercritical carbon dioxide (CO₂).

This modern method allows the efficient isolation of bioactive and sensitive compounds such as cuminaldehyde, thymol, carvone and other aromatic compounds from cumin.

Anethole, estragole and fenchone from fennel, and carvacrol, thymol, flavonoids and polyphenols from wild oregano P73, which contribute to their properties.

The result is a purer, more potent extract that retains maximum bioactivity and quality.

How does supercritical extraction work?

Supercritical extraction uses carbon dioxide, which is brought to a supercritical state by a specific combination of pressure and temperature.

In this state, CO₂ acts as a gas and a liquid at the same time - it penetrates plant material as a gas, while dissolving substances as a liquid.

This unique feature allows the targeted isolation of valuable compounds, while undesirable components (such as waxes, chlorophyll or heavy metals) are removed.

Advantages of supercritical extraction

Supercritical extraction has a number of advantages over traditional methods:

• Preservation of active ingredients

The process is carried out at low temperatures, minimising the risk of damage to sensitive substances. This ensures their bioactivity and maximum effectiveness.

• Cleanliness and safety

Unlike methods using chemical solvents, supercritical extraction leaves no residue. The resulting product is pure, safe and free of synthetic additives.

• Extraction accuracy

This process can be fine-tuned to isolate specific components. This ensures a high concentration of bioactive substances and thus a consistent product quality.

• Environmental friendliness

Carbon dioxide is a sustainable and reusable solvent. Once extraction is complete, it simply returns to a gaseous state, minimising the environmental impact.

Key benefits for you

• High concentration: supercritical extracts are much stronger than traditional methods, so you only need to use a small amount.
• Higher bioavailability: liquid forms are absorbed faster and more efficiently than dried herbs or capsules.
• Smaller doses, greater effect: Thanks to the concentration, only a few drops of the extract are enough to achieve therapeutic effects.
• Practical use: easy to add to water, tea or juice without having to consume large quantities of the raw plant.
• Purity: the product is free from any undesirable substances or solvent residues.
• Versatility: the extract can be safely used in dietary supplements, cosmetics or food.

Liquid extracts - a concentrated and effective form of nutrients

Liquid herbal extracts are highly concentrated and provide a stronger dose of active ingredients than dried herbs or the whole plant. One drop of extract can be equivalent to up to 15 mg of dried herb.

Comparison with whole plants and juices

• Fresh juices from pressed vegetables often require several kilograms of ingredients to prepare one batch.
• Whole plants and dried herbs do contain fibre, but their lower absorbability means that the body often cannot fully utilise all the nutrients.

Recommendations

Liquid extracts offer fast and targeted effects and are ideal for those seeking therapeutic doses of active ingredients without the need to consume large quantities of raw materials. However, they are most effective as a supplemental form alongside a balanced diet.

It is advisable to consult a specialist before use, especially if you have specific medical needs or are taking medication.

Extra virgin olive oil: a key ingredient in extracts

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is not only a popular ingredient in the kitchen, but also an excellent choice for use as a carrier or preservative in herbal extracts North American Herb & Spice.

Its unique chemical composition, antioxidant properties and ability to work with herbal ingredients make it an indispensable partner for natural products.

Olive oil serves primarily as a carrier in extracts, diluting concentrated herbal extracts to make them safe for internal and external use while retaining their potency.

In addition, EVOO protects sensitive plant substances from oxidation, thus naturally extending the shelf life of the extract without the need for synthetic preservatives.

Thanks to its composition, it also promotes the absorption of fat-soluble substances, ensuring that the body makes maximum use of all the active ingredients contained in the extract.

One of the main benefits of EVOO is its high content of antioxidants such as vitamin E and phenolic compounds. These not only protect the extract from degradation, but also provide other health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory effects and promoting the health of the body.

Compared to other oils, EVOO is chemically more stable due to its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids, which minimizes the risk of rancidity and guarantees the long-term quality of the product.

Another significant advantage of EVOO is its delicate taste and aroma, which do not interfere with the natural aroma and taste of the herbal ingredients. This aspect is important for the user's sensory experience and also to preserve the authenticity of the herbal extracts.

In addition, EVOO contains no synthetic solvents or chemicals that could reduce the quality or safety of the product, making it an ideal choice even for sensitive user groups such as pregnant women.

Unlike alcohol tinctures or synthetic preservatives, EVOO is naturally gentle on the body while providing a number of nutritional benefits.

It is rich in omega-9 fatty acids, which promote heart health, reduce inflammation and contribute to overall vitality. In addition, this oil is sustainably produced, making it an eco-friendly choice for premium herbal products.

The use of extra virgin olive oil in herbal extracts is an example of the perfect combination of tradition and science. EVOO ensures safety, efficiency and sustainability, contributing to high quality products that are designed to bring maximum benefit to consumers.

These ingredients are minimally processed, ensuring that they retain their natural properties and effectiveness.

Their innovative products include Oreganol, which was the first edible oregano oil on the market and has become their iconic product.

With its commitment to fair trade, organic harvesting and the use of wildcrafted plants, North American Herb & Spice has become one of the leading brands for those seeking pure and ethically sourced natural products.

The difference between NAHS and cheap private labels

North American Herb & Spice excels through its in-house research and development (R&D) labs and collaborations with global cooperatives focused on harvesting wild herbs from organic regions. This collaboration makes it possible to obtain pure raw materials that are not exposed to industrial processing or chemicals, which is common with crops coming from commercial farms.

Unlike private label brands that often rely on cheap ingredients from wholesale suppliers, North American Herb & Spice sources its ingredients directly from pristine natural areas. This makes their products higher quality, richer in active ingredients and more effective. Cheap private label products may be more affordable, but often lack the nutritional value and potency that wildcrafted herbs offer.

The company also emphasizes thorough quality control in its own laboratories, where every product is subject to rigorous testing. This ensures that it not only meets strict quality standards, but also meets the requirements for ethical sourcing of raw materials.

The combination of in-house pickers, collaboration with global cooperatives and the use of modern scientific methods makes North American Herb & Spice an exceptional brand. It offers products that are environmentally friendly, ethically sourced and processed with the utmost care.

The brand's products stand out thanks to the use of wild-collected herbs that come from pure and ecologically protected areas such as the mountains of the Mediterranean or the rainforests of the Amazon. As a result, they contain more nutrients than conventional commercially grown ingredients.

What makes it special is the sustainable harvesting methods and the collaboration with local farmers and collectors, which guarantees purity and high concentration of active ingredients. This is appreciated not only by professionals, but also by customers looking for quality.

In addition, North American Herb & Spice invests in research and development to ensure maximum efficacy and safety of its supplements. This makes the products popular with those who prefer a holistic approach to health and are looking for true natural quality.
