Picking Violet

What good would a remarkable natural substance be if it was contained by substandard packaging? Sensitive plant material erodes with exposure to heat and light over time. One of the very best methods of keeping an herbal substance at its peak for extended periods is to package it in Miron Violet Glass.

In storage tests, a variety of herbs, spices and vegetables were placed in clear, brown and Miron Violet Glass, exposed to sunlight over extended periods. The results were dramatic. Miron Violet Glass vastly outpaced the rest in every test.

The contrast was even greater in an experiment featuring a fresh cherry tomato stored for seven months and exposed to sunlight. One in a clear glass bottle and one in a Miron Violet Glass bottle. The tomato in the Miron Glass looked plump and fresh with no sign of color loss or dryness. The tomato in the clear glass was shriveled and grey.

The explanation is simple. Clear, green, and brown glass are permeable in the visible light spectrum and don't offer enough protection against the decomposition process caused by light. Miron Violet Glass blocks the complete spectrum of visible light with the exception of violet as well as the spectral range of UV-A and infrared light. This unique combination offers optimal protection against the light-induced aging processes, preserving the potency of products over time.

Superior products deserve superior packaging, that’s why Aloe Ferox Caps are always bottled in Miron Violet Glass. Our customers deserve the best. Here’s to your health!
