Cleavers Tincture -
4 fl.oz. Bottle

I love that this product is alcohol free as I don’t do well with that. My water retention and puffiness has lessened in the week since I started using this so it’s definitely doing something. I also do some lymphatic drainage massage on myself daily which I’ve been doing for a while but I feel like these cleavers are definitely helping to move more than I can do by myself!

I had this for a few months before I even tried it. After I got it, I just kept thinking it was going to taste awful and couldn’t bring myself to try it - lol! I finally broke down and went for it! I was very pleasantly surprised. I would describe the taste as being similar to unsweetened tea; it wasn’t bad at all! I’m not completely sure what health benefits it has. The instructions say to use a dropper full but it is next to impossible to make the dropper suck up a full drop. I guess you can just add what you are able to get or maybe do it twice. One of the photos I included shows how much I was able to get into the dropper (tried multiple times to get a full dropper but never was able to).

I've been using tinctures from Wild & Organic for around a year. I appreciate having tinctures available since I'm not a big fan of swallowing pills to take supplements and I like that the tinctures are more easily and quickly absorbed than pills.

One thing that keeps me returning to this brand is that their tinctures are third-party tested so you know you're getting what's indicated on the label and that the efficacy is true. Whether you're new to taking tinctures or not, this is one of the most important attributes to look for with any supplement, since the FDA does not regulate supplements in the US. Without third-party tests, it is literally impossible to be sure what you're getting and whether it's as potent or even the same active ingredient being advertised. The other think I look for is whether it's manufactured in the US or elsewhere. This company makes their products here in the US, so I feel a little safer from that perspective as well.

Since I take this tincture for its health benefits, I appreciate that it's using glycerine in lieu of sugar especially since I take a lot of supplemental tinctures. Likewise, it's not got any alcohol in it, which is also a plus. These attributes make these tinctures a pleasure to use because the glycerin imparts a lightly sweet flavor and the lack of alcohol lets the flavor of the herb shine and I can honestly say I haven't tried any of their tinctures that didn't have a pleasant flavor. To minimize the flavor, I recommend dosing sublingually (under the tongue). You will still taste the supplement, but much less than if it hit the tops of your tongue where the majority of your tastebuds are. If for some reason you hate the taste, you can always mix it with water or another beverage and it will likely all but disappear. When I first started buying this brand, it was more challenging to dose, but they've upgraded their dropper to ones that have dosage lines marked on them, so you can be confident you're using the right amount.

One thing to be aware of not just with tinctures but with any type of supplements, is to check if it may interact with any medications you may be taking and if you're not sure, check with your doctor or pharmacist. This isn't medical advice, just a common sense head's up because it's better to be safe than sorry. I've had good results with these tinctures and will continue to use them.

This is easy to take straight, it has really no flavor. It seems to be made with clean ingredients. No aftertaste. Good price.

This glycerite comes in a amber glass bottle with a dropper for easy dispensing. Description says it is organic and third party tested but no certification or proof that verify it is indeed true.
It is alcohol free so is less potent than a tincture, but that is not an issue, some people prefer glycerites over tinctures.

This tincture is easy to use and the directions are clear. It is on the sweet side due to the glycerin and makes for a great addition to tea. The health benefits are great and I'm glad I added this to my morning regimen. Would buy again.
