Please read on for further information and review by Heather- I have personally never tried these products, so all opinions are hers and from the website information provided to me.


Why Do They Offer Liquid Herbs? Consider Six Superior Reasons:

1. Time Honored
For centuries herbs have been utilized in liquid form, from teas and tonics to extracts and tinctures. Wherever you find herbal medicine more highly evolved, liquids continue to be extremely popular and utilized frequently.

2. Taste
According to traditional medicine, tasting the herb plays an important role in effectiveness and assimilation. In Germany, for example, studies suggest that the immune stimulating properties of Echinacea begins when the active ingredient comes in contact with sensors in the mouth. Bitter flavors are particularly valued by herbalists who know that these stimulate and benefit the digestive tract.

3. Bioavailable
By extracting the active constituents of herbs from both indigestible cell wall components and inactive constituents such as starch, herbs in a concentrated liquid form enter the body in a more pre-digested state.This is especially useful for more efficient absorption by those with weak digestion, for children, the elderly, pregnant women and for active people who don’t want energy loss through longer digestion periods.

4. Quick Assimilation
There is some question as to whether dry or pressed herb tablets break down well in the body, if at all. At best, dry herbs may take more than an hour to digest, where liquids begin assimilation in about 15 to 20 minutes, even less if held under the tongue. Absorption through the tissue under the tongue allows the active ingredients to enter the bloodstream directly.

5. Fast Acting
Because the active components are concentrated and more “bioavailable,” absorption is more thorough and results are quicker. Noticeable effects on the body will be much greater than with encapsulated dry herbs or tablets.

6. Superior Extraction Method
We use a unique and trademarked TincTract PlusTM extraction process. Compared to one stage, high heat extraction methods used for most glycerites on the market, our lengthy, painstaking process preserves and extracts more active constituents and naturally occurring vitamins, enzymes, minerals and volatile oils. These are concentrated and preserved into liquid electrolyte form.

What is the Liquid Light Process?

1. One of the first steps in this painstaking process is the 14 day minimum cold stage. In this stage, we utilize light, which not only “marries” the herbs, but also purifies with UV rays without extreme or artificial heat. This slow, yet important stage allows for the preservation of the essential natural enzymes which are extremely beneficial, aiding assimilation and giving added potency to the formulas. In fact, according to enzyme researchers, enzymes are involved in all chemical reactions that occur within the body. Vitamins, minerals and hormones are unable to even work within the body without enzymes. Unlike the one step, high heat methods of most herbal extracts, our cold stage ensures that we preserve nature’s enzyme “labor force” for optimum nutritional value.

2. In the second stage, the herbs that remain after the cold extract has been set aside, are further processed using extremely low heat, low pressure to capture intact, within the glycerine, the natural volatile oils, vitamins and minerals.

3. In the third stage, we use a custom-built, stainless-steel press to cold-press even more nutrients with 6 tons of pressure. Cold pressing is the method used to yield a product of superior nutritional quality, creating the least amount of oxidation with the best extraction. Though labor intensive, the entire Liquid Light process has been created to reduce oxidation, preserve enzymes and amino acids, and to keep intact a full nutritional profile. Added to reverse osmosis water, they become instant Liquid Colloidals, which again dramatically increases the body assimilation rate up to 98%!

By preserving the plant’s natural colloidal delivery system, the bioavailability of these full spectrum nutrients and therapeutic substances are retained and enhanced, giving our formulas the strong potency our customers depend on.

Another important distinction is that they use Glycerine instead of Alcohol? Here is why…

They wanted to offer family herbal products that we could feel 100% good about, with safe ingredients that would raise no concerns over possible negative side effects, especially [Read more…]

Having a Party for Your Teenager: What’s Your Liability?

Your teenager approaches you wanting to have a party, and your emotions are obviously mixed. On the one hand, it’s great that he or she is approaching you about it, and not trying to sneak it by when you and your husband are out of town. It’s better to know about this and be there to keep an eye out, right? But on the other hand, you know that you can’t be everywhere at once, and there’s a good chance that something will happen that you can’t control. Teenagers are confused, sex-crazed lunatics, driven by the need to fit in, and drugs, alcohol and inappropriate behavior could still happen even right there under your nose. But if your teen is graduating high school or celebrating some landmark achievement, how can you deny them a party? So you go ahead with it, fingers crossed, hoping for the best but ready for the worst.
What could that be? Well, if you’re a mother it’s all too easy to come up with a likely set of circumstances. Perhaps, regardless of your best intentions, some of your teenager’s friends sneak booze into the party. They drink it without your knowledge, leave, and then get into a car crash. It’s a horrible feeling, one that’s all too familiar to parents who have found themselves in that position. Aside from the emotional shock and impact on your teen, what else could go wrong? Well, for one, what happens if you end up being sued for negligence by the parents of the kids who got into the accident? Are you actually liable for that?

Generally speaking, no individual can be held liable for a negligent action performed by another individual. So on the surface, you should be in the clear. But there are a few exceptions to the rule. What you need to understand is that you can be held liable if it is shown that you had some sort of control over the actions of that third [Read more…]

Hallmark Mother’s Day Gifts

Pre-Disclosure- This Post is by Daddy- because it was FOR mommy! Read on, and please forgive all errors- Mommy is panicking because she is not proof-reading this, but since me and Little want to surprise her, she is not allowed to see.

Alright dads, it’s go time. What can you get for that special woman in your life. The one and only mom of your kids. Not only do you want something nice and classy but you also want something that is special and from the heart. Leave it to Hallmark to have the perfect gifts. Lets take a quick look at a few of them.

First up is the new Talking Canvas Art Kit. This kit includes everything needed to make a great gift for mom which is both personal and well made. This kit includes water based paint, paint brush, and a special frame. The special frame is about the size of a sheet of paper. But as you may have guessed, where this kit differs from a regular canvas is its ability to record up to 30 seconds of anything you wish. Anything from your kids talking about their painting, a happy wish for a special day or any and everything in between.


It is a great idea and cute as well. The only issue we had was that I didn’t take the frame out of it’s cardboard holder until the painting was done. Which was a mistake, [Read more…]

Beginners Guide to Chicago

As a military brat moving from base to base, I learned early on that home was always changing. When my younger sister decided she wanted something more stable, she set up a permanent home in Chicago. Since I was still in college, I was excited visit the Windy City and see what a real stable home was like. Since it was my first trip to the city, I did some research to stay within budget and see the hottest Chicagoattractions.
The Magnificent Mile
The Magnificent Mile runs along Michigan Avenue from the Chicago River to Oak Street and is part of an area known as The Loop. Once I decided what to see, staying somewhere near the Mag Mile just made sense. I was staying in a hotel because I didn’t really fit into my sister’s tiny one bedroom with her new husband.
I wanted a place that was comfortable, but not too expensive. For me, that place was the Fairfield Inn & Suites in downtown Chicago. Technically, the Fairfield sits in Streetville, which is a few blocks off Mag Mile. The advantage of staying near the Mile, but not quite on it, was price. The Magnificent Mile is the place to be in Chicago and hotel pricing reflects that. By staying just off, I still got the benefits of downtown while saving a few dollars. The Fairfield offered a nice breakfast, free Wi-Fi and location, location, location. It is also near the “L,” which was the easiest main public transportation option to get to my sister’s downtown apartment.
CityPass
Since my sister was new to the area and this was my first trip, we were not exactly sure what sites to see. One of her friends recommended we take advantage of the ChicagoCityPass. The CityPass gives you VIP admission to five must-see attractions in the city. It is a very ‘touristy’ thing to buy, but for a first trip, a viable option. By using the pass, we [Read more…]
