Phytocomplexes, sometimes imprecisely referred to as bioactive compounds, include a wide variety of plant-derived substances both active and non-active (such as cellulose), which share the characteristic of being able to modulate and/or carry out numerous biological activities and support important health-related functions in the human body.

This patented bioenergetic extraction method produces a greater quantity and quality of active natural substances from plants while using less alcohol than traditional extraction methods. The first step is to carefully select raw materials, mainly of Italian origin, in order to release the phytocomplexes (the plant’s natural beneficial compounds) present in the relevant part of the plant, such as leaves, inflorescences or flower heads. This is achieved through maceration, which releases phytocomplexes into the final solution. Recent advances suggest that ultrasonic maceration can release these naturally occurring compounds while preserving the distinctive properties of the native substances, including the plant’s fragrance, colour and unique character.This bioenergetic step is repeated in cycles to extract other medicinal plants, always using the solution obtained from the first extraction. This results in less loss of the desired phytocomplexes reduced use of ethyl alcoholand theabsence of substances not naturally present, such as excipients, sweeteners, surfactants and emulsifiers etc. while preserving the natural flavour of the plant phytocomplexes that only this bioenergetic method can obtain. 

The benefits of this innovative production method include, for example, preserving the composition found in the plant and retained in the fresh extract, the low percentage of ethyl alcohol, the natural flavour of the plants themselves; the low temperatures used to extract active compounds, the absence of emulsifying substances and/or surfactants thus preserving and ensuring the beneficial properties remain unchanged in the resulting extract an environmentally sustainable process with a low environmental impact.  Last but not least, this method makes it possible to obtain high levels of antioxidant substances — substances able to neutralise free radicals and protect the body from their harmful effects. The potential anticancer properties of plants are associated with the valuable antioxidant compounds found in their coloured parts.
