Hawaii Pharm Jie Geng (Platycodon Grandiflorus) Root Glycerite - Alcohol-Free Liquid Extract, 2x32 oz

The Advantages of an Alcohol-Free Glycerite

Alcohol-free extracts, known as glycerites, offer a gentle alternative to traditional tinctures. Glycerine, a plant-derived solvent, effectively extracts herbal compounds without the harshness of alcohol. This makes the glycerite ideal for those who avoid alcohol for personal, dietary, or health reasons. The glycerine base also provides a longer shelf life and a naturally sweet flavour, which can be more palatable for children or sensitive individuals. Hawaii Pharm uses vegetable palm glycerine and artesian purified water to create a clean, high-quality extract.
