More about Eclectic Institute
Freeze Dried Herbs
Eclectic Institute pioneered the use of freeze-drying in herbal medicine, and now leads the way in providing freeze-dried, concentrated, whole-plant herbal combinations.
Each new herbal combination is carefully formulated by a team of naturopathic physicians, pharmacists and herbalists. Eclectic uses freeze-dried herb concentrates to provide an optimal dose of each herb in one to three capsules. Our process concentrates the whole plant, not isolated constituents, made from quality herbs- prepared as a fresh plant succus or a decoction.
One highly concentrated herbal capsule is up to 5 times more potent compared to herbal capsules that have not been concentrated. That means you receive a clinically effective dose of three to six times what is typical found in only one or two capsules! One bottle of 45 capsules will last approximately three to four weeks. Encapsulated with vegetarian capsules.

Benefits of Freeze Drying -
· Freeze Drying maintains active constituents for the highest potency and action.
· It preserves enzymes, aminoacids, flavonoids, oils, fatty acids, polysaccharides and proteins critical to their effectiveness.
· It retains activity, color, aroma and taste of the fresh plant. Only the water has been removed.
· It provides a long-term shelf life.
