Description

Our natural nettle root CO2 select extract for drinks begins its journey with the species Urtica dioica, collected in the field areas of the country. The Urticaceae family includes herbaceous species with simple opposite leaves. An acidic soil reaction limits access to phosphorus, so the herb develops poorly on such land and prefers neutral fields with a rich humus layer. Natural production excludes synthetic fertilisers and chemical agents on the fields. Bulgaria provides the field areas for growing the herb. The collected raw material covers the rhizome without aerial stems and leaves. Carbon dioxide in the supercritical phase serves as the extraction agent and, when the pressure is released, separates completely from the root extract without residue. The absence of solvent traces comes directly from the gaseous nature of the working agent. A dark greenish or brownish colouring characterises the finished liquid fraction. The greenish tone arises from the chlorophyll in the surface layer of the underground stalk, while the brownish depth comes from the sterols and resinous substances in the inner tissue. The odour intensity lies between medium and intense, since the select extraction concentrates the volatile part and leaves behind the waxes of the outer bark. An earthy herbal odour with slightly grassy notes describes the olfactory character of the extract. The clean scent line results from the absence of a foreign solvent in the medium. The liquid state distinguishes the product under normal storage conditions. The composition covers only the root concentrate, since preservatives and colourants have no access in gas extraction under pressure. In addition, auxiliary carriers and water remain outside the finished product. The tightly closed container preserves the dark greenish or brownish appearance of the nettle extract.

Maintain a temperature from +5°C to +20°C and the quality will remain unchanged. After opening, reduce the air in the packaging, and when less content remains, pour the remainder into a clean and dry bottle of smaller volume. For drink products, use aluminium containers or dark glass bottles that do not let light through. Tight closing after use protects the contents from air and moisture. When these conditions are met, quality and safety are preserved for longer.
