This motherwort herbal extract is not as bitter as some others I've used, which is nice.
great product... delivered ontime
Delivery as expected
Product came on time and was just like they described. Good quality.
Great stuff. Thank you.
Received when stated. Thank you.
Fast shipment. Package very well. Love the products.
Great product !!
Arrived on time, well packaged and easy to open.
I need to research the use of glycerin/90 proof vodka as a combination in herbal tinctures. It does improve the flavor, but I'm unsure if it impacts the shelf life or strength. Great deal on this line of tinctures.
