LIQUID AND EXTRACT PRODUCTION
At our liquid and extract production facility, relevant and active
ingredients in the herbs that go into the Salus tonics, tinctures,
and extracts are extracted in large mixing machines. Using a complex, state-of-the-art process control system, the extracts are
then processed further using various methods, and, depending
on the recipes, more ingredients, such as minerals, are added.
Next, the tonics are bottled.
In another production area, the extracts are concentrated in var
ious vaporiser units and then carefully vacuum-dried and pow
dered so they can later be used as a basis for tablets, capsules,
and coated pills or other products.
TE A PRODUCTION
In the production of Salus teas, we focus on particularly gentle
processing methods to retain important plant ingredients to
the highest degree possible. What makes our teas so special:
Wherever possible, the herbs used in the Salus teas classified
as foodstuffs are of a quality that meets the standards of the
German Pharmaceutical Products Act.
For more than 200 different tea blends, the individual ingredients
are carefully combined, weighed, and homogeneously mixed for
each recipe. Automatic sorting machines allow for outstanding
quality and the highest standards of purity of the raw materials.
The teas are either filled into filter bags or packaged as looseleaf tea in block bottom bags. All Salus teas are produced at the
company headquarters in Bruckmühl in Upper Bavaria.
Our on-site laboratory inspects every step of production: Our
lab helps select our suppliers and raw materials and oversees the
entire production process all the way to the finished product.
As a result, we can always be sure to produce the best-possible
quality.
FRESH PL ANT JUICE PRODUCTION
The Schoenenberger fresh plant juices are produced using a
unique and gentle process. Pressing fresh plants helps retain the
entire effectiveness of the ingredients.
The medicinal plants used for the pressed juices are constantly
monitored before the harvest and are harvested no earlier than
when the optimum concentration of active ingredients has
been reached. The plants are harvested early in the morning and
transported directly from the fields to our production site: They
are then shredded as quickly as possible and carefully placed
into the plant press in individual layers. Next, they are pressed
at pressures of up to 17 kg per cm2. The juice extracted from the
plants is then filled into bottles.
Our Magstadt location also runs a production line for natural
hair- and body care products. These care products are also based
on our freshly pressed plant juices.
