FAQs
The answer is multi faceted:
1. Enki has developed its proprietary extraction method from 10 years of herbal medicine experience. Whereas, the majority of the supplement industry’s extraction method is based on 100 years of making things as cheap as possible and maximizing profits which results in poor quality botanical products.
2. Enki’s proprietary extraction method is based on spagyrics, which is a modernized form of traditional alchemy. This process, although very in depth and labor intensive, yields botanical extract with a much broader spectrum of bio-active compounds with far greater bio-availability
3. The raw botanicals we extract are either grown at Enki Farm deep in the blue zone with some of the most pristine and nutrient dense soil in the world, or sourced from traditional areas in other pristine environments. The intention the Enki team puts toward this detail is virtually non-existent in the industry.
4. If all this is not enough, we also spare no expense in packaging our products in Miron bio-photonically protected glass to enhance all the work we do from garden to glass.

Thrice Extracted
Spagyrics: The Old New Standard
We use triple extraction methodology, foundational in practical alchemy as standard for our liquid tonics, exalting the soul, spirit and body of our chosen botanicals.
Consciously Cultivated
Sourced with Integrity
Enki's in-house gardens, those of our friends and community and our international network of wild foragers form the bedrock of our sourcing philosophy. For location specific herbs, and those few that require cultivation in areas we don't operate in, we use certified organic material at a minimum.
