From leaf to lot
Our extraction process
Four deliberate steps, start to finish. Here is how our extract is made, and what we never do along the way.
From leaf to lot
Every lot moves through the same four steps, in the same order, with nothing skipped. The process is our IP, and we built it to do it right the first time.
- 01
Leaf sourcing & intake
Sourced from established suppliers and lot-numbered at intake.
- 02
Domestic, DCM-free extraction
Produced in our US facility without DCM or harsh solvents.
- 03
Independent lab testing
Every lot independently lab tested, published as COAs.
- 04
Sealed, lot-coded packaging
Sealed and lot-coded so every package traces to its COA.
No shortcuts
How our process compares with shortcuts that exist in the market.
| Aspect | The MitraGen process | Common shortcuts |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction solvents | DCM-free process; residual solvents tested on every lot | Harsh solvents like dichloromethane (DCM) with no published residual testing |
| Alkaloid source | 100% naturally occurring alkaloids from the leaf | Synthetic or chemically converted alkaloids (e.g. lab-converted 7-OH) added to boost numbers |
| Where extraction happens | Extracted, formulated, and packaged in the USA | Imported finished extract of unknown provenance |
| Lab testing | Independent lab, every lot, published COAs | Occasional or in-house-only testing; COAs not published |
| Traceability | Lot-coded packaging that maps to a public COA | No lot code, or lot codes with no public record |
What every lot is tested for
Every finished lot is tested by an independent, third-party laboratory before it is released. The panel covers four areas.
Alkaloid identity & content
Confirms the standardized alkaloid and measures its content, lot by lot.
Residual solvents
Screens for processing solvents, including dichloromethane (DCM). Our extraction is DCM-free.
Heavy metals
Lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury.
Microbial contaminants
Total aerobic and yeast/mold counts, plus specified organisms.
Our extracts are standardized from the naturally occurring alkaloids in the leaf, not produced by semi-synthetic conversion.
Proof, not promises
Every lot's certificate of analysis is published on our lab results page. Look yours up by lot number.

We manufacture for your brand
Beyond our own line, we co-pack and private-label standardized alkaloid products for other brands. Bulk supply and finished tablets, lot-coded and tested every lot, manufactured in the USA. Tell us your program and we will scope it.
