Originally from Ireland, Helen and her husband Colm created and patented the Cold Processed® method, which uses a -30° hyperbaric chamber to preserve the molecular structure of bioactive ingredients, ensuring maximum performance. This avoids the traditional heat-based process, which lessens the potency of nutrients. Act+Acre’s bioactive-rich formulations are free from chemicals and toxins.
