A self-sustained company
HerbalGem is a fully self-sustained company located in the Belgian Ardennes, where the plants for our buds are carefully planted, cultivated, and harvested, and then the buds are macerated, packaged and distributed.
HerbalGem controls every stage of its products' production. From the cultivation and harvesting of the buds to their transformation into finished products, our scientific experts have control over the quality and efficiency of the entire production process.
The harvest, a key moment
In the spring, our teams of seasonal workers are sent into the forests as well as our own organic crops to pick the buds according to very strict instructions. The buds are picked just before they open in order to preserve their vital energy. The buds are stabilised immediately at the harvest sites to capture all the plant's minerals, vitamins and nucleic acids. They are used fresh for the maceration process.
The manufacturing process: scientific standards and quality
All HerbalGem products are manufactured in our laboratory according to the most rigorous production and traceability standards.
We ensure our products are high-quality through:
- Meticulous selection of species with the most active ingredients
- Rigorous control of all the harvesting and manufacturing phases
- The fact we have over 30 years' of experience in gemmotherapy
In order to guarantee that our products are of the highest quality and to develop new combinations of plants, we are constantly investing in gemmotherapy research programmes in partnership with universities and approved independent research laboratories.
Quality
We have focused all our expertise on our concentrated gemmo extracts to otpimize your health and guarantee perfect safety and maximum effectiveness:
We make our concentrated meristem macerates exclusively with fresh buds that are certified ORGANIC (CERTISYS-BE-BIO-01 standard) which means they are harvested in forests or come from organic farming.
Our products contain all the properties and energy of the plant as found in their buds. Tree essence in the making !
HerbalGem's concentrated meristem mother-macerates have many advantages compared to D1 diluted glycerol macerates (D1 means that the extract is diluted ten times):
- A low daily dosage is sufficient, usually 5 to 15 drops per day.
- The water-alcohol-glycerine mixture we use preserves all the active ingredients of the bud.
- You ingest 10 times less alcohol and glycerine, which means even children and pregnant women can take it safely.
- It's easier to take, as you take an exact quantity of drops and each bottle lasts 10 times longer than standard extracts.
Last but not least, this kind of bud extract is particularly rich and the special factor lies in the youthfulness of the plant tissue, and the diversity and concentration of active ingredients. This guarantees that the buds have superior therapeutic qualities.
What does organic farming mean?
Organic agriculture is a method of production that promotes the use of organic or mechanical farming techniques, as opposed to the use of synthetic chemicals. It is a holistic production management system that promotes agrosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles and the soil’s biological action.
For organic crops, it is important that the crop suits the soil, and the use of synthetic chemical fertilisers and pesticides is prohibited.
Our range of gemmotherapy includes more than 60 certified ORGANIC (CERTISYS-BE-BIO-01 control) concentrated meristem mother-macerates.
