Informative Articles about Botanicals
For the last several years, we have brought you our monthly newsletter Extrax Fax in a one or two page fax format. In October of 2002, we underwent a transition of the newsletter format to an email format. We found that, in the internet age, an email newsletter can be more targeted for us to reach the individuals that will read it, and more convenient and efficient for you.
As part of the transition, we instituted a simple change in the name of our newsletter. Instead of Extrax Fax, it is now called Extracts Facts.
The purpose of Extracts Facts, as always, is to offer to interested parties the latest news about Draco and its products, new developments, people and events. While we try to make it newsworthy, we also strive to make it educational. In each issue, we typically feature a short article about the uses and benefits of an herb or formula and the research that supports it.
If you would like to receive Extracts Facts in your email inbox, please sign up here!
Back Issues
Below are links to a great selection of both recent and back issues of Extracts Facts as well as the older fax version of Extrax Fax.
The email versions are HTML files and the fax versions are downloadable as PDF files. PDF files are readable using Abobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have Acrobat Reader installed on your computer, you may download it for free from the Adobe Acrobat Reader Download Site:
