Concentration Helper Alcohol-Free Drops
Concentration Helper Alcohol-Free Glycerite, Ginkgo Leaf, Lemon Balm Leaf, Valerian Root
Concentration Helper Alcohol-Free Drops
This is an alcohol-free liquid extract (glycerite) of three herbs extracted together in equal parts: the fan-shaped leaf of the ginkgo tree, a lemon-scented mint and a pungent meadow root. Each is also sold on its own. It is a traditional herbal product for adults that can cause drowsiness - please read the safety information below before use.
- Ginkgo, leaf - Ginkgo biloba leaf (Ginkgoaceae)
- Lemon balm, leaf - Melissa officinalis leaf (Lamiaceae)
- Valerian, root - Valeriana officinalis root (Caprifoliaceae)
- Extract type: Alcohol-free glycerite - liquid drops. Other ingredients: vegetable glycerin, purified water
- Origin: Responsibly sourced cultivated botanicals (lemon balm from the USA, valerian from Poland). Gluten free. Made in the USA.
What is in the blend
- Ginkgo leaf - the two-lobed, fan-shaped leaf of Ginkgo biloba, the last survivor of a tree lineage older than the dinosaurs, now planted along city streets worldwide. The leaf, not the seed, is used here.
- Lemon balm (Melissa) - a bushy perennial of the mint family whose crushed leaves smell strongly of lemon; the Greek name Melissa, honeybee, records how much bees like its small white flowers. It is a mint, not a citrus.
- Valerian root - the root and rhizome of a tall meadow plant of Europe and western Asia with clusters of pale pink flowers; the dried root has the strong, earthy smell that gives the plant its reputation.
Why the alcohol-free drops
The three dried herbs are extracted together in vegetable glycerin and purified water, so there is no ethanol in the bottle - the version to choose if you avoid alcohol. Glycerin gives the drops a mild, naturally sweet taste with a lemony note that softens the earthiness of valerian.
What is a glycerite?
A glycerite is a liquid herbal extract made with vegetable glycerin instead of alcohol. Glycerin is a clear, naturally sweet liquid from plant oils; it extracts and preserves the water-soluble parts of the herbs. Because glycerin is a weaker preservative than alcohol, keep the bottle refrigerated after opening. The glycerin and water percentages are printed on the label.
How to use
Adults only. Shake well before use. Put the number of drops shown on the label into a little water, juice or tea and drink it, up to the frequency shown on the label. Do not exceed the label serving. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how the blend affects you. Use it in short courses rather than continuously, and if you have taken it daily for several weeks, taper off gradually rather than stopping suddenly. Refrigerate after opening and use within the period printed on the label.
Drops or tincture?
If you prefer the classic alcohol-based extract with the longest shelf life at room temperature, the same three-herb blend is available as Concentration Helper Tincture - the alcohol-based version. The herbs and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.
Important safety information - please read before use
This blend can cause drowsiness and is for adults only. Please read before use.
- Drowsiness: valerian and lemon balm can cause drowsiness. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how the blend affects you. Do not combine with alcohol, sedatives, benzodiazepines, antihistamines or other products that slow the nervous system - the effects add up.
- Bleeding and surgery: ginkgo may slow blood clotting. Do not combine with warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel or other blood thinners without your doctor. Stop use at least two weeks before surgery or dental work.
- Pregnancy / nursing: do not use.
- Thyroid: lemon balm may affect thyroid function - consult your doctor if you have a thyroid condition or take thyroid medication.
- Liver: rare cases of liver injury have been reported with valerian products. Stop and see a doctor if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine or unusual fatigue.
- Seizures: avoid ginkgo if you have epilepsy or a seizure disorder.
- Antidepressants: consult your doctor before combining lemon balm with SSRI antidepressants.
- Duration: use in short courses; stopping suddenly after weeks of daily valerian has caused withdrawal-type symptoms.
- Allergies: lemon balm is a mint-family (Lamiaceae) plant.
- Age: adults only - not for children or teenagers. This blend is not a replacement for any prescribed treatment.
- 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. Keep out of reach of children.
