Supercritical Therapy^®

This advanced state of the art extraction process, the supercritical process, yields a superior product that is highly concentrated-sometimes as high as 250 to 1-does not use chemical solvents and produces an extremely broad representation of the herb's lipophilic constituents. No pollution, no heat stress or damage and no solvent residues. It means super purity, super potency, broad spectrum and no chemical solvents.

This advanced extraction process yields a superior herbal extract that is highly concentrated and delivers the broadest spectrum of phytonutrients.

Supercritical extraction creates a superior extract that makes a difference in your life. People sometimes assume that herbal extracts are pretty much the same, like bottled water or jars of applesauce. That is not the case. The beneficial effects of an herbal extract depend on a number of important and precise factors, starting with the quality of the fresh botanical ingredient. Some fresh ginger, for example, is rather bland, while ginger grown on our organic farm in Costa Rica just explodes with pungent compounds and proteolytic enzymes.

A great extract thus starts with great fresh herbs, but it doesn’t end there, no more than a fine wine starts and ends with the grape. After all, there are different growers, different fermenting processes, different polyphenol levels, and vastly different tastes. These differences make a huge difference in wine, and they make an even bigger difference in botanical extracts used in traditional medicine.

New Chapter deeply respects the importance of both the herb and the extraction process. We have developed the finest botanical formulations available, and we use what scientists call the “supercritical” extraction process. This advanced extraction process yields a superior herbal extract that is highly concentrated, as much as 250 pounds of fresh herb reducing to just one pound of supercritical extract. In addition, the supercritical process does not use any chemical solvents at all, so the resulting extract is absolutely free of chemical solvents such as hexane or acetone. The supercritical process also produces an extremely broad representation of the herb’s lipophilic (oils, fatty acids, etc.) constituents. Those lipophilic constituents are often some of the most precious and necessary plant ingredients in such important herbs as ginger, St. John’s Wort, evening primrose, saw palmetto, valerian, rosemary, and many others. In the past these herbs were commonly extracted by the use of chemical solvents. Not so with supercritical extraction. New Chapter’s supercritical extracts are super potent, super pure, and broad spectrum with a composition that Delivers the Wisdom of Nature.
