Mediherb is an Australian herbal company that processes herbs into high quality products. The Australian government requires that the company use pharmaceutical standards to produce their products. The company actively seeks out herbal sources around the world of the best quality. The herbs are inspected to be sure they contain the correct plant species. Tests for molds, bacteria, pesticides and heavy metal contaminants are done. The plant is assayed to see that is contains adequate amounts of the active ingredients. Any herb that fails testing is rejected and the batch is sent back.
The herbs are put into cold storage and milled under cryogenic conditions (to avoid heating and loss of potency). The company uses a proprietary cold percolation process lasting 7-10 days that ensures all the active ingredients are extracted without being altered. Liquid herbs are generally bottled as 1:2 extracts (1 gram of dry herb in 2 milliliters of liquid). Drying the liquid extracts in a low temperature vacuum makes tablets. All tablets are made to disintegrate within 30 minutes in the stomach except for enteric-coated tablets designed to dissolve in the intestines. Both liquid extracts and tablets are retested to be sure all the active ingredients are present in the final product. The water used in the percolation process is reverse osmosis purified. The ethanol used is pharmaceutical grade. Only water, ethanol and hypoallergenic binding excipients are used in the entire process. The company adheres to Good Manufacturing Practice principles.
The Mediherb products are the finest herbal products available and are guaranteed to be unadulterated and have specified potency. Naturally such quality is not cheap. However, nothing is as expensive as a cheap product that does not work due to poor raw materials or poor manufacturing practices. I use and recommend Mediherb products for those who desire or need herbal support. The company makes 152 different products including herbal blends designed to support specific body functions or organs.
