The evolution of phytoembryotherapy
GENESTRA BRANDS™ Phyto-gen therapy consists of potent plant remedies made from fresh buds and young shoots of growing plants. Phyto-gens modify biochemical actions and evoke phytotherapeutic energetic principles. Macerated in equal parts of water, natural glycerin and alcohol mediums, they are standardized to a 1:20 extract to ensure delivery of concentrated bioactive extracts to target organs. Each plant extract is organic Eco-Certified and allows for a high potency, lose dose dispensing therapy, making Phyto-gens cost-effective and highly compliant for patient use.

Manufactured respecting nature
Phyto-gen manufacturing follows the original production process created by Dr. Pol Henry, the founder of phytoembryotherapy. Every stage respects the natural phytonutrients and the environment from which they come.

Harvest

• Eco-Certified fresh buds and young shoots: Certified organic buds and young shoots contain genetic material lost after plant matures.
• Spring harvested by accredited growers: Preserves plant integrity and captures highest energetic levels during the most active growth cycle.
• Monitored growing regions: Grown biodynamically or in wildcrafted preserves.
• No pre-soaking: Refrigerated with immediate transport to extraction site helps maintain biological structure and limit energetic loss. No crushing, grinding, freezing orliquid immersion before maceration (unlike competitors who immerse immediately in glycerin solution and thus unable to qualitatively standardize batches).

• Standardized extracts: Secures homogenous properties of product in all manufactured batches.
• 20 day maceration: Phytonutrients are macerated (soaked) in equal parts of water, alcohol and natural glycerin for 20 days (see Figure 3) providing the fullest range of nutrient and energy extraction.
• Monitored growing regions: Grown biodynamically or in wildcrafted preserves.
• Biochemical component extraction: The various macerate components not only help to retain the polar and non-polar aspects, but are responsible for the extraction of specific biochemical components while respecting plant physiology:
  – Water: Water soluble derivatives, tannins, minerals, water-soluble flavonoids, water-soluble vitamins, some water-soluble acids. Dr. Pol Henry also attached great importance to the role of water in the maceration process, believing that it is the water fraction that carries the energetic benefits of the bud.
  – Alcohol: Alkaloids, glycosides, heterosides and some acids.
  – Glycerin: Essential oils, fat soluble flavonoids, fat soluble vitamins and some acids.
• No mechanization: During maceration phytonutrients are slowly agitated aseptically by hand (no machine). The macerates are filtered by gravity and extracted by very gentle pressure – avoiding extremely powerful presses that destroy both the physiology and energetic plant properties. After maceration, the buds and young shoots are returned to nature and used as fertilizer in organic farming (to complete the energetic life cycle).
• 100% natural: The resulting concentrated macerates are 100% natural – they contain no chemical preservatives, are never irradiated and have never been heated or frozen.
