Our extraction process for Mānuka extracts is truly groundbreaking, setting a new global standard by capturing the four Mānuka Triketones—Leptospermone, Isoleptospermone, Flavesone, and Grandiflorone—at unprecedented levels. This achievement means that our extract is a genuine reflection of the Mānuka plant’s natural power, offering unparalleled benefits to our customers.

Triketones are the key chemical compounds that determine the potency of Mānuka extracts. They are known for their remarkable antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. While the best essential extracts in New Zealand, particularly from the East Cape in Gisborne, boast a triketone content of around 20%, our extraction process yields an impressive 30-50% triketone content. This significant increase underscores the efficacy and superior quality of our product.

The secret to our high triketone levels lies in our innovative extraction method: Supercritical Fluid Extraction. This technique uses externally sourced carbon dioxide under varying pressures to extract the desired compounds from the Mānuka leaf. It is a gentler approach that preserves the integrity of all molecules, ensuring that the extract retains its full spectrum of beneficial properties.
