Raintree Nutrition's Jergon Sacha extract is made with 40% alcohol to extract and preserve the active ingredients found in this amazing plant. The extraction methods used provides the equivalent of approximately 600 mgs of Jergon Sacha root per milliliter of extract - resulting in a highly potent concentrated extract rich in active and beneficial phytochemicals which occur naturally in this plant

Wildharvesting this important rainforest plant is not achieved sustainably in the wild since the root must be harvested. This is why Raintree has not offered this plant in the past. Raintree's new supply of Jergon Sacha root comes from the high jungle of Peru where new organic cultivation programs with medicinal plants are replacing old coca plantations and providing new sources of income for poor farmers on their existing lands.
