Why a liquid tincture?
A tincture is measured in millilitres, so you can follow the label's range of 3 to 5 servings a day without counting capsules. Shake the bottle before each use, because plant material settles over time. The label directs it to menopausal and post-menopausal women aged 18 and over.
Read the cautions under How to Take before you start. They list the medications, health histories and situations where this formula should not be used, and when to speak with a health care practitioner.
