About Us


The Herbal Extract Company of North America was established in 1987 as a sister company to the Saw Palmetto Harvesting Company. Originally the company’s main product was Saw Palmetto Extract. As the Company grew, it diversified into many different plant extracts, and under the supervision of Gerald Gettel, Registered Pharmacist, was able to determine quality extracts from what were sometimes outright counterfeits.

Prior to 9/11 goods flowed freely out of and to America without much question of what they were and what they were used for. Today with the bioterist act of 2003, most countries which we export to required a minimum at least a export certificate and a free sale certificate of the product being shipped issued on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration letter head.

The staff at the Herbal Extract Company of North America works closely with the FDA and can provide the necessary documents for importation and customs clearance in most countries.
