Eclectic Herb

Eclectic Herb 🌿 Pioneers in Fresh Freeze-Dried Herbs

Since 1982, we've been dedicated to harnessing the power of nature.

Our herbs are locally grown, sustainably harvested, and freeze-dried fresh in-house to lock in the full spectrum of natural benefits. For 40 years, Eclectic Institute has delivered the highest quality dietary supplements on the market. We have a full line of 100% fresh freeze-dried herbs and whole food powders, as well as herbal extracts, vitamins, creams, oils & a children's line. PIONEER OF THE INDUSTRY:
Eclectic was the first in the herb industry to use freeze-drying technology. By freeze-drying fresh, whole herbs (rather than air or heat drying) Eclectic produces supplements that retain the fresh plants' biologically active constituents and natural potency. Eclectic is now freeze-drying fresh, raw, whole fruit, herbs, and vegetables to provide food powders that can be simply mixed with juice, added to smoothies, or sprinkled on food to boost nutritional intake. Eclectic's POWders provide Plant Originated Wellness in a tasty, economical and convenient form. Eclectic was also the first to use ORGANIC alcohol for its herbal extracts in order to provide the best quality extracts. And again, Eclectic was the first to produce alcohol-free extracts that especially appeal to children and those with adverse reactions to alcohol. Eclectic was the first to introduce Fresh Upgrade - a product line of herbs that are assayed for a range of bioactive compounds and include fresh freeze-dried, whole herbs. Fresh Upgrade is superior to standardized extracts because it contains the herbs' active cofactors that are left behind by solvent and CO2 extraction and traditional drying methods.

If you’ve ever wondered what Larix actually is… let’s break it down.

Larix comes from the larch tree — a beautiful deciduous conifer found in the northern forests. Inside its wood lives one of nature’s most interesting compounds: arabinogalactans, a gentle, prebiotic fiber that helps support gut + immune wellness from the ground up.

Swipe through to meet Larix, learn what’s inside, and see why we love this humble powerhouse and then learn more about larix in our most recent blog in our bio link.

Not all herbs are created equal — and the way they’re dried matters.

Swipe through to see the Freeze-Dried Difference in action. šŸ‘€āœØ

🌿 Slide 1:
Freeze-dried cranberries vs. air-dried cranberries. The color, shape, and vibrancy say it all. When herbs keep their natural integrity, your body feels the difference.

🌿 Slide 2:
At Eclectic Herb, every capsule is 100% pure plant — no fillers, no fluff. Other brands dilute potency with starches and powders that do nothing for your health.

🌿 Slide 3:
Our favorite reminder: Freeze-Dried Never Lies.
Small-batch, whole-plant goodness you can trust.

If you care about potency, purity, and results… freeze-dried is the only way.
