How is this product extracted exactly? Are there any binders, fillers or harmful chemicals used in the extraction process?

Hello Designer 22,Lakanto is made by a special fermentation process and this does result in a very small amount of alcohol. The amount is so minute, though, that the end product is not alcoholic and does not feed candida.Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.In Health,Lindsey

It does not contain any of that. I'm not sure how they extract it, all it says is that it's 100% wild Alaskan salmon. I'm assuming from a natural process.

I have been seeing warnings about working with this in powder form without the proper mask...I too, would like some specific information on how to work with this safely.

Soxhlet extraction uses a solevent to pass through the solid material, and is passed through the material many times (reflux) before it is condensed. The solevent is then removed from from the solid with a rotary evaporator. This extractor uses steam extraction. Steam is passed through the material just once and is imeadiatly condensed back into liquid. The oil can then be seperated from the water with a separatory funnel.

This stuff is good for extraction - test results were really low. I've had great results with it. There is a thread out there with lab test results from all the major butane brands. Google it.

I like this product. I am not a chemist, so I don't know how I could attest to the purity. Apparently, from your comment, you have some way to ascertain purity? If so, why ask? I had merely heard that OptiMSM is a good product, and I have heard that this is a good company. You are on your own from there.

I use vodka with amazing results. And I use the cheapest stuff I can find. I think that it is better in this application. I let my extract sit and infuse for quite a while and I have had many people say it is the best they have ever had.

Hi Chaitu04, I am currently using the MSM crystals from gotsulfur.com. It is derived from the byproduct of of the paper making industries - trees. Actually precipitated from DMSO as I understand it. I like the larger crystals and they seem to be a little more potent. It's organic in terms of the way the body uses it and it is quite pure with no contamination. I like the results I am getting. Good luck.

I purchased mine less than a year ago, I purchased with the ad/idea it is 'chemical/toxin' free. the filling is pure 100% kapok fibers. Also, I believe 'flame retardants' are or are in the process of being banned. Here is the co. online that filled my order from the pillow product tag, Bean Product co. BTW, great pillow well worth it the best I've used to date, better than poly fill. http://www.beanproducts.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=001&Product_Code=7ZFKAPOK&Category_Code=Products_All

Maybe it is derived from chemicals. I was not planning to ingest this product, using for cleaning water boiler. I just did a google search and discovered a few scary things like Hidden GMO. It is too expensive to extract from citrus fruit so the use other processes to make it. I suggest you do a google search too.

They claim not to extract chemically. But, I have tried it.. the taste is very metallic. Unlike, another brand which has no taste whatsoever that works just as good. I really dont know.

I think it is 100% pure! However, I truly have nothing to go on, but I did a ton of research and found the company I bought from is a great supplier. As one of the other posters said maybe ask the seller and see what else you can dig up.

Just because I used this product a while back that doesn't mean I have the bottle in front of me or remember what exactly the bottle says. I gave you an answer based on your question assuming your product indicates it is in the form of an extract. Besides you question is truly irrelevant.Thank you,lia

You need to ask the vendor for a specific mineral content data analysis. Most companies who are providing products suggested for human consumption, lab work, or field work have this information as it is essential for control mechanisms to be in place while using the product. My application is much simpler, it is a filler and as such the chemistry is not an important component. My suggestions is to ask the provider for the MSDS (material safety data sheet) and or just pose your specific compounding question to the vendor.

Using a "hydraulic press to extract the oils" doesn't really completely answer the question for me. From my reading, alkalizing (aka "dutch process") is applied to reduce acidity (and in turn it reduces the polyphenols). I sent an email to company this morning, asking directly if the product is alkalized or non-alkalized. Will post their response back. UPDATE from the company: Thanks for contacting us and for your question about our Cacao. Our Cacao Powder is not processed at all. It is not alkalized and not treated with any chemicals. Our cacao is organic, non-GMO, raw, vegan, gluten free, soy free, corn free and completely additive free... it is 100% raw cacao! Navitas Naturals organic Cacao is picked and then immediately starts a natural (nothing is added to the beans during the entire process) fermentation in the pod for about 48 hours (never exposed to temperatures over 115 degrees). Once extracted from the pod-like fruit, purified water is used to cleanse the beans. The whole beans are then also peeled and cold-pressed to form a paste, the bean's oil is extracted (cacao butter), and our nutrient-dense cacao powder is formed... and that is all of the processing involved with our Cacao superfoods! I have included a link to a short documentary (staring our CEO!) on Navitas Naturals Cacao. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8zsmfnkUZU I hope this is helpful. Please feel free to contact us with any further questions and take care.
