we're here for it
Roots Apothecary got off the ground before holistic health products made their way into mainstream conversation. we have seen the industry boom as people become more aware of western medicine’s shortcomings, especially when addressing chronic anxiety, pain and inflammation. our experience in the clinical application of herbal products, our production autonomy, and our function first mindset position us nicely to serve the increasing consumer demand for products that actually deliver on short and long term results.
100% handmade
All product is handmade from scratch in our privately owned production kitchen in north texas. we use simple tools like pots, strainers and whisks to make the vast majority of product and use low stress equipment like perastyalic pumps on a CNC platform to efficiently bottle tinctures. we don’t use high heat or high pressures to speed up extraction processes when heat and pressure are not required. we also never run heated product through plastic parts. slower extractions have given us cleaner, higher potency products.
authentic reputation
we maintain a gold standard rating for transparency and a gold standard rating for authenticity for 6 consecutive years through our third party client reviews platform. this means roots apothecary reviews are real and we are not curating feedback. our 5-star reputation has endured the test of time and continues to rank in the top 1% of 450,000+ active & verified brands. this reputation is clean and highlights our dedication to quality product and client success.

AUTHENTIC TINCTURES
tinctures are simple & concentrated extractions that use alcohol to pull active compounds from herbal preparations and hold them in solution (kept in liquid form rather than dehydrated and further processed). this extraction method has endured the test of thousands of years (dating back to the ancient egyptians) and continues to be one of the purest and most functional herbal preparations in modern naturopathic health.
THE REAL STUFF
a lot of products put tincture on the label, but they aren’t actually ran through a tincturing process. many products are just hydrating powdered herbs and adding glycerin to hold in suspension and preserve. this completely defeats the benefits of tinctures. you would be better off just using the powdered product in capsule. unfortunately, it’s difficult to spot authentic tincture vs weaker “workaround” re-hydrated suspensions or rushed high heat extractions that are stabilized with glycerin or alcohol. we have given many label reading tips to identify authenticity in other products, but we don’t solid label advice for navigating tincture authenticity. for this, you may need to rely on additional product and process information on a company’s website.
we use authentic tincturing processes with 40% organic cane alcohol and 45 days in clean stainless steel vats. we do not use heat to speed up extractions or flash alcohol off the final product that would otherwise damage more fragile compounds. this results in a high potency, high purity and highly bio-available herbal supplement.
