Why use alcohol?
Alcohol is used as an extraction agent because it is able to extract both water and fat-soluble substances, which covers all the composite elements within plants. This means that we are confident of achieving an exact balance that reflects the make up of the original plant.

Why use fresh herbs?
When a herb is fresh it offers its fullest potency and has not yet lost any of its qualities. As herbs dry out they decay and lose potency. This is most vividly understood by comparing fresh parsley with the dried version. No matter how relatively young your dried parsley is, it will never achieve the fresh taste and piquancy of the original herb, bursting with nutrients and taste.

What is GMP?
GMP is Good Manufacturing Practice, based on safety, quality and efficacy. It means that our factory operates to the highest possible standards, with a team of specially trained staff ensuring that every stage of the production process is carried out according to strict regulations to deliver goods of consistent quality.

What is Holistic Standardisation?
Holistic Standardisation is the process by which we ensure that every batch of Bioforce herbs is as potent and effective as it should be. We look at every ingredient within the plant and test each batch of herbs to confirm that the full spectrum of ingredients is present to the necessary level. This process differs from Chemical Standardisation, whereby one component of the plant is selected as being responsible for the action of the plant, and only the levels of that one component are measured. Bioforce believes that every element within a plant contributes to its overall effect and should be present in a tincture in the amounts found in the original herb.
