Why Choose an Alcohol-Free Liquid Extract?
For those seeking a gentler alternative to traditional tinctures, glycerites offer a compelling option. Unlike alcohol-based extracts, this glycerite uses vegetable glycerine and purified water, making it suitable for children, the elderly, and anyone avoiding ethanol. The glycerine base also has a longer shelf life and can be easily mixed into water, juice, or tea. Moreover, glycerine itself has humectant properties, which may aid the body's absorption of herbal constituents.
HerbalTerra's commitment to using only natural ingredients ensures a high-quality product that respects the plant's integrity.
What Is Hoodia Gordonii Glycerite?
Hoodia gordonii is a succulent plant native to the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa. It has a long history of traditional uses amongst the San people, who would chew the plant during long hunts. This glycerite is an alcohol-free liquid extract that preserves the plant's natural compounds through careful extraction.
Made from dried Hoodia plant powder using a classic maceration method, this concentrated liquid retains a broad spectrum of naturally occurring constituents, including alkaloids, flavonoids, and other active plant compounds. Each 1 ml of glycerite is equivalent to 330 mg of dried plant powder, offering a potent dose in every serving.

How Is This Glycerite Made?
HerbalTerra employs a time-honoured maceration process to extract beneficial components from Hoodia. Dried plant material is soaked in a glycerine-based menstruum (a solvent of vegetable glycerine and purified water) for several weeks. This gentle method ensures that a wide range of therapeutic compounds—vitamins, minerals, alkaloids, and flavonoids—are fully extracted and preserved.
The extraction ratio is 1:3 (dry plant material to menstruum), meaning the glycerite is highly concentrated. No heat is used, which helps protect heat-sensitive compounds. The final product is filtered and bottled without the uses of alcohol, making it suitable for those avoiding ethanol.
How to Uses Hoodia Glycerite
Shake well before uses. Take 0.5 to 1 ml (approximately 15–30 drops) up to three times daily, or as directed by a health care professional. This glycerite can be taken directly or mixed into water, juice, or tea. Because it is alcohol-free, it has a slightly sweet taste from the glycerine.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition, consult your doctor before uses.
