What are Pleiotanicals®?

Pleiotanicals® are unique products designed around the benefits of “pleiotropic” multifunctional bio-molecules derived from natural sources. These molecules are rendered from their source using Biocogent’s proprietary HEDI® process technology. This process makes it possible to create a product containing all cellular and membrane bound constituents, essentially creating a “liquid whole plant” with unsurpassed performance.
