General Questions

Glycerites are herbal extracts made with a base of organic flaxseed glycerin. Glycerites are safe for all ages, and a wonderful choice for children and those who prefer not to consume alcohol. Glycerin has a very low glycemic index score and is a delicious way to flavor drinks, smoothies and desserts.
