Appetite Control Tincture

Both contain the same three ingredients in the same proportions; only the extraction liquid differs. This tincture uses organic alcohol with vegetable glycerin and water - the classic method with the longest shelf life at room temperature and a bitter, astringent taste from the grape seed and ashwagandha. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water, milder and naturally sweet, for those who avoid alcohol. Choose whichever suits you; the safety notes apply to both.

No - grape seed and grapefruit seed are different plants. This blend uses the seed of the wine grape, Vitis vinifera. Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) is a citrus fruit whose seed and peel extracts are well known for interfering with many prescription medicines; we sell grapefruit seed as a separate product, and it is not in this blend. The ashwagandha here is the same dried root of Withania somnifera used in our single ashwagandha extracts, and the holy basil is the leaf of Ocimum tenuiflorum, the tulsi grown in Indian courtyards. Ashwagandha belongs to the nightshade family, like tomatoes and potatoes.

Shake well before use. Put the number of drops shown on the label into a little water or juice and drink it, up to the frequency shown on the label. Do not exceed the label serving. Ashwagandha can be mildly relaxing, so see how it affects you before driving. Use it in courses rather than continuously. Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tight, and keep out of reach of children.

Please read carefully. Liver: rare cases of liver injury have been reported with ashwagandha products, usually within the first weeks to months of use - stay within the label serving, and stop and see a doctor if you notice dark urine, yellowing of the skin or eyes, unusual tiredness or abdominal pain. Do not use if you have liver disease. Blood thinners and surgery: grape seed and holy basil may slow blood clotting - consult your doctor if you take warfarin, aspirin or similar, and stop use at least two weeks before scheduled surgery. Thyroid: ashwagandha and holy basil can both change thyroid hormone levels - do not use if you have a thyroid condition or take thyroid medication without your doctor. Pregnancy, conception and nursing: do not use - ashwagandha and holy basil are avoided in pregnancy, and holy basil has affected fertility in animal studies. Drowsiness: ashwagandha may add to the effect of sedatives and alcohol. Blood sugar and blood pressure: ashwagandha and holy basil may lower both - monitor if you take diabetes or blood-pressure medication. Immune system: ashwagandha may affect immune activity - avoid if you have an autoimmune condition or take immunosuppressants. Allergies: ashwagandha is a nightshade-family plant; avoid grape seed if you are allergic to grapes. Not for children. This tincture contains alcohol. If you have a medical condition or take medication, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Do not use it to self-treat any medical condition - see a qualified doctor instead.
