The international name of the product is St. John's Wort organic CO2 supercritical extract, and its botanical name is Hypericum Perforatum, with its qualities acknowledged in numerous European practices for food ingredient manufacturing. It originates from Bulgaria – a country with favorable natural conditions and longstanding expertise in cultivating herbs with proven biological activity. The plant is organically cultivated without the use of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides, which ensures high purity and safety for culinary use. The extraction method is supercritical carbon dioxide – a modern technology that enables the extraction of aromatic and bioactive compounds without altering their natural composition. The resulting St. John's Wort extract has a liquid consistency, with a color ranging from reddish-brown to dark amber – a visual sign of its richness in phytochemical components. Its aroma is moderate and balanced, with a herbal profile and subtle grassy and floral notes that add a delicate character to various food formulations. The product is organic, free of preservatives and colorants, with all ingredients complying with the requirements for certified organic production. It holds international certification conforming to the safety and quality standards of the European Union and other global markets. Thanks to its unique composition, this organic CO2 extract of St. John's Wort is used as a functional flavoring or as a taste-enhancing ingredient in food products such as teas, syrups, natural confections, bee products, specialized blends, and other products where a combination of mild aroma and botanical activity is sought. Without synthetic additives, with guaranteed authenticity and sustainable origin, it meets the expectations of modern producers and consumers for clean and responsible food.

Production
Our organic CO2 supercritical extract of St. John's Wort for foods is produced in Bulgaria – a country that combines long-standing traditions in the cultivation of medicinal plants with modern technology and strict standards for organic farming. Hypericum Perforatum is grown using an organic method in which only natural means of fertilization and protection are employed, and no synthetic substances, genetically modified organisms, or polluting techniques are allowed. Harvesting is carried out at the optimal stage of plant development, using the aerial parts – stems, leaves, and flowers. These are carefully dried at low temperatures and controlled humidity to preserve the active ingredients in their purest form. The next step is the supercritical CO2 extraction – an innovative method where pressurized carbon dioxide acts as a solvent to extract aromatic and biologically active compounds without leaving residues, toxins, or requiring additional purification. The entire production process complies with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and is certified according to international organic standards. The St. John's Wort extract is stored and packaged according to the best practices for preserving contents – small quantities of 0.010, 0.030, 0.050, 0.100, 0.200, 0.250, and 0.500 kg are packaged in dark glass bottles that protect against light and oxidation, while large quantities of 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100, and 180 kg are packed in aluminum bottles, cans, and drums to ensure stability during transportation and storage. Packaging is carried out in full compliance with EU and international organic regulations. The product is accompanied by full technical documentation, including certificates of organic origin, composition analysis, declarations of conformity, and safety information. All of this ensures that the extract reaches the customer in optimal condition – fresh, stable, pure, and functional.
