Why Borvo Nutrients Chooses Ethanol Tinctures

Exploring the Types of Herbal Remedies: 

When it comes to natural health care for pets, not all herbal remedies are created equal. The base of a pet herbal remedy plays a crucial role in its effectiveness, shelf-life, and ease of administration. Today, we’re taking a closer look at the different kinds of herbal remedies you might find on the market, and explaining why we at Borvo Nutrients have chosen to feature ethanol tinctures in our product lineup.

The Spectrum of Herbal Remedies

Herbal remedies come in various forms, each with its unique properties and uses. Below is a quick overview:

1. Glycerite-Based

   • These sweet-tasting, non-alcoholic solutions are popular for pets and children.
   • Glycerites use vegetable glycerin as a solvent to extract beneficial compounds from herbs.

2. Water-Based

   • Commonly found in teas and infusions, water-based remedies are gentle and easily absorbed.
   • They typically have a shorter shelf life and may require more frequent dosing.

3. Ethanol-Based (Tinctures)

   • Ethanol effectively extracts a wide range of active constituents from herbs, resulting in a potent and long-lasting remedy.
   • Tinctures are versatile and allow precise dosage, making them ideal for holistic pet care.

4. Other Forms

   • You may also come across oils, powders, and capsules, each offering different benefits depending on your pet’s needs and the types of herbs used.

Why Ethanol Tinctures?

At Borvo Nutrients, we’ve chosen to focus on ethanol tinctures for several reasons:

1. Potency and Purity

   • Ethanol is excellent at extracting both water-soluble and fat-soluble components, making our tinctures comprehensive in their health benefits.

2. Long Shelf Life

   • Ethanol acts as a preservative, maintaining our tinctures’ effectiveness over longer periods, reducing waste and the need for frequent repurchasing.

3. Precision Dosing

   • Our tinctures allow for precise dosage, ensuring your pet receives exactly what they need for optimal health support.

4. Quick Absorption

   • The liquid form ensures the active compounds are rapidly absorbed, providing faster relief and support for pets.

Addressing Ethanol Concerns in tinctures for dogs

We understand that some pet owners may be cautious about introducing ethanol into their pets’ routines. Here’s where the flexibility of ethanol tinctures shines:

• If you’d like to minimize or remove the ethanol content, simply mix the prescribed tincture dose with a small amount of freshly boiled water.
• As the mixture cools, the ethanol evaporates, leaving behind only the active herbal constituents—a perfect option for those who prefer a more alcohol-free approach.

This ability to adjust your pet’s remedy without losing the health benefits is a key advantage of ethanol tinctures in holistic pet care.

A final word on tincture base

Selecting the right base for your pet’s herbal remedies is about balancing effectiveness, safety, and convenience. At Borvo Nutrients, our commitment to providing high-quality, potent, and safe herbal solutions for your pets underpins our choice to champion ethanol tinctures. They embody our dedication to holistic pet health, ensuring your beloved companions receive the very best that nature offers.

Remember, if you have any hesitations about ethanol, the simple water-mixing method allows you to tailor the remedy to meet your preferences without sacrificing its benefits.
