Our Water-based Extraction Process
We use a water-only extraction process. This allows us to keep most health benefits of the curcumin in the final powder - a high potency turmeric 95% curcumin powder.
Water used as a solvent in the extraction process reduces the toxicity of the organic solvent and serves as a strong substitute for the organic solvent since it is safe and easily available. This method increases the safety of the extract as no organic solvent has been used and can be applied to the food system for use. Subcritical water extraction can also be used as a safer alternative to traditional extraction techniques.

Why all the trouble?
It is quite simple really, we had the exact problem you have now: Struggling to trust the legitimacy of these so-called “natural” products. We didn’t want to pour even more nasty powders down our throats, to fix problems caused by a harmful diet of processed foods. After a futile search for a reliable and natural supplement, we decided to take matters into our own hands. We began researching and gathering natural superfoods and remedies. We stumbled upon some real goodies, such as Curcumin and Neem Leaves. We immediately began experimenting, creating “concoctions” and finding better ways to incorporate these into the daily diet, which is where they are supposed to be.
After a while we began noticing incredible changes to our health in many different aspects, chronic joint pain and muscular inflammation decreased to almost nothing after only a few weeks of usage, and previously damaged skin began repairing after a few months. Additionally, energy levels increased drastically due to a decrease of toxins in the blood. We realised we couldn’t keep this to ourselves, we had to share this goodness with the world.
As opposed to other brands at the time, we decided to go for a simple approach, to solve the problems we had when we were looking for supplements. We wanted to make something so people could see everything that revolved around our products, creating a transparent and honest business, that has no secrets from you, our customer. We made things simple by making products that can be taken by themselves, in capsules or diluted in water, or added to food, to save you the trouble of having to either buy extra equipment or undergo a painstaking process to make sure the supplements are absorbed properly by your body.
We created what we had so desperately searched for, a simple, natural, and honest way of caring for the body.
