Nova Vitae Avena sativa forte herbal tinctureDiscover the power of Avena sativa Forte Herbal Tincture from Nova Vitae, extracted from the miraculous oat herb that has been used for centuries for its versatile applications, especially in traditional medicine. Our Avena sativa product has been carefully prepared to get the best out of this special plant and to allow you to benefit from the countless health benefits it has to offer.
In simple terms, the Latin name "Avena sativa" actually means "cultivated oats." "Avena" refers to oats, a type of grain, and "sativa" means "cultivated" or "grown." So, when you put the two together, "Avena sativa" refers to the specific type of oat that is grown or cultivated. This term is often used as the scientific name for the oat plant.
Why is there alcohol in your Avena sativa product?
Alcohol is often used in making herbal tinctures due to its ability to effectively extract active ingredients from herbs. Here are our considerations for why alcohol is used:
1. Efficient extraction of bioactive substances: Alcohol is known for its ability to extract both water-soluble and fat-soluble components from plants. This makes it an efficient solvent for a wide range of bioactive substances in herbs, including flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and essential oils.
2. Preservation: Alcohol has preservative properties, meaning it helps to preserve the herbal tincture and prevent spoilage. The high alcohol content acts as a natural preservative, extending the shelf life of the tincture.
3. Improved absorbability: Alcohol is considered a well-absorbable medium for the human body. It can help efficiently transfer the active ingredients in the herbal tincture to the blood, making them more easily absorbed by the body.
The dosage of an herbal tincture is typically taken in drops, resulting in a relatively small amount of alcohol per dose.
