Sourcing
Galen’s Way sources from small growers and larger houses that are committed to responsible environmental, purity and quality standards. We have established relationships with our suppliers and have been working with many for close to 20 years. We validate their commitment to quality and safety by analyzing every lot of botanical material received for identity and adulteration.
Galen’s Way is committed to prioritizing organically grown plant material in our raw herbs, solvents and other ingredients. We strictly use organic cane alcohol in our extracts.
We support ethical wild crafting practices for those plants that are best harvested directly from nature. When environmental or habitat concerns arise from wild crafting, it is our duty to protect the wild stands of these plants and will not utilize plants considered under threat. We are a proud member of the United Plant Savers and support their Species At-Risk list.
Process
Processing:
Our extraction techniques are fundamentally traditional and time tested. Over the years we have learned many ways to enhance the simple method of maceration, employing specific treatments of heat, botanical material comminution, double maceration, filtration and more, for each herb and their individual characteristics. Our processes deliver a full spectrum and potent extract.
Testing:
Our in-house laboratory tests all batches of finished extract for limits on total microbial count (TVC), coliform, E.coli, and yeast and mold.
System Management:
Our process flow is guided by two sets of criteria, our commitment to quality, and by the standards set forth by FDA and current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). From purchasing to delivery of finished goods, every step of the process is controlled and documented to ensure integrity and traceability.
Regulatory:
Our facility is registered with FDA, California Department of Public Health, and CCOF as an organic processor.
Commitment:
We stand behind our products as the best of their kind on the market. Beginning with optimal raw materials and meticulous processing methods, we create the best possible product. Our primary commitment is to the practitioner and clinic. Our single focus is to provide you with the highest quality liquid herbal extracts; extracts you can rely on to be safe, potent, and full of life.
