Invest in your nutrition with Nokomis plant-based supplements
Farm-to-Bottle Transparency
We lab-test each batch to assure the highest quality and consistency. Our Nokomis Seed-To-Bottle-Traceability Standards go above and beyond the current organic standards on traceability, testing and quality of ingredients. Every ingredient and every bottle can be traced back to our certified organic field and seed.
All active ingredients in our products are precisely quantified and transparently labeled. None of our products are ambiguously labeled “Proprietary Blends,” which conceal how much of the various ingredients are actually being used to make the extract.

Nokomis Mixed Formulas
& Single-Plant Extracts
Our mixed formulas were developed using published scientific studies in peer-reviewed scientific journals. These mixed formulas were designed to deliver complementary extracts from multiple plants in a single formula. Our mixed formulas typically feature 2 to 4 complementary herbs.
Herbal supplements need to be of a high quality and taken at sufficient quantity for the body to absorb their nutrients. Chinese herbal traditions often recommend as much as 1 to 3 grams per day of various herbs. Other products on the market that list a dozen or so ingredients will often not provide a sufficient amount of any ingredient. Remember that each plant produces a wide range of molecules and synergists.
FROM
Simple but potent mixed formulas made with a few of the best herbs is our philosophy. One can always tailor their regimen, adding an additional single-plant extract to take along with a mixed formula for an extra boost.
Our mixed formulas are designed for convenience, but people who only want one or two ingredients from a given mixed formula can also order the single-plant extracts separately as individual extracts.
TO
Less can be more.
We specialize in making simple but potent mixed formulas, filled with a tightly edited selection of the very best herbs. Our mixed formulas are designed for convenience, but regimens are highly customizable. People who want an extra boost can add a single extract to take with their core mixed formula, and those who desire only one or two ingredients can order them as single-plant extracts.

Why Choose A Cold-Pressed Liquid Extract?
In plant extracts —like with coffee or tea— the soluble molecules of the plant are suspended in a liquid. It takes quality ingredients to make quality extracts, and even then the process still requires time and precision.
The myriad of powdered extracts, gelcaps or concentrates on the market are often heated or put through pressurized and heated processing— what is called “supercritical” processing.
Heat and pressure strip away a broad range of compounds only to target a specific popular compounds like the withanolides in Ashwagandha. But these products often lose a broad range of therapeutic molecules and synergists inhering in the plant.
Researchers have labeled the cumulative benefit from a broad range of molecules in the plant “the entourage effect” (1). Studies have shown that isolating one popular molecule from the plant can be less effective than a whole-plant extract containing a broad range of molecules (2).
Nokomis liquid extracts are the result of extensive research and experimentation. They are cold-pressed and never heated, retaining the broad range of valuable nutritional and therapeutic compounds which are often lost in other processing methods.
Even though other products like pills and powders might be more convenient (and less bitter), they do not always have the same effect as the most potent cold-pressed liquid extracts.

Small Batch Quality
Consistently extracting a high-quality product from the best organic ingredients is time-consuming and delicate. At our FDA-registered extract facility, we produce small batches in lab-grade glass vats because it gives us the precision and control that we need to produce an outstanding product every time. Certain processes cannot be replicated in big steel tanks, and the precision required for these extracts is one of them.
See how applying horticultural science on our farm can translate into more potent extracts. Over the course of our research we compared our extracts to others on the market, and the results were striking.

Things to Keep in Mind
Many Chinese herbal manuals prescribe plant supplement doses in grams per day of the raw powdered ingredient (often ranging between 1-3 grams/day). Nokomis Extracts are made with a ratio of 350mg of raw dried ingredient per 1ml of liquid. So taking a 1ml dropperful 3x daily corresponds to just over 1 gram per day (1.05 grams exactly).
Remember that the body often absorbs the molecules from a liquid extract more readily than from a powdered herb, so someone switching to a Nokomis liquid extract will often need to take slightly less. One customer remarked that she only takes half as much of our extract to get the same effect as her old brand. We love to hear that, because it means she’s getting twice the value.
People with different metabolisms and sensitivities will respond differently to various doses. When you try Nokomis Herbal Extracts, feel the difference and adjust accordingly.
The sentence “Also, people have different metabolisms and sensitivities, metabolisms and body weights” felt like it was bifurcating a topic on the potency of our extracts enabling customers to take less. I took it out, since it doesn’t really feel like it belongs in this section as it stands. We can either add it to a new category, or expand it to make more sense as its own graf. I expanded it slightly here and moved it to the end to smooth out the flow.
