Here's some information about our Digestion Support formula! This is my best tasting formula (some of them taste really bitter, but this one is delicious). Let's tell you a little bit more about this formula and how to best use it to your advantage. This tincture acts as a digestive aid and includes bitters so that your body can do the work to digest by itself with optimal support. Great for folks with digestion issues and those who need to be able to absorb the nutrients from their food better. Now, the dosage and how to take it.
Dosage: Take 20-30 drops 2-3x per day in juice or tea as needed. You CAN take under your tongue if you want. It is just easier to get down when putting in juice. This formula actually tastes decent! Also, it will help with digestion so you will want to take this with a meal for best results.
A question I get asked a lot is about the dosage for kids or babies. This formula can be ok for children and teens. I wouldn't give it to babies 2 or under though. Just half or quarter the dose for children.
Why are tinctures a preferred method of taking herbs? Because tinctures are potent! You don’t waste your money on pills that have been in the manufacturing process for months / years and lose potency! With an alcohol base, the tinctures pull out all the medicinal benefits of the plant, and preserve them naturally for you! They don’t lose potency over time. If you forget about this formula in your cupboard and find it in 5 years, you can still take it! It will still be potent! Isn't that cool?
