Herbal tinctures are an alternative to pulverized herbs inserted in capsules. Some people prefer tinctures because they dislike or find it difficult to swallow numerous capsules on a daily basis. But some herbalists claim that herbs taken in tinctures are significantly more effective, because the active ingredients are already dissolved and are therefore more easily absorbed. Benefits of our Mountain Meadow Herbs tincturesPlants are organic and wild-crafted whenever possible. Herbal tinctures are handmade and regularly subjected to laboratory testing. Mother tinctures are guaranteed free of colorants, flavors, sweeteners, compression agents or anti-caking agents. The vegetable glycerine used in our products is gluten-free (the glycerine used is made from Palm Hearts). There is no gluten in the wheat alcohol used; the protein contained in wheat is not fermentable, so it does not produce alcohol (zero traces in the finished product). Our formulas are soy-free.The formulas are manufactured in Montana, USA. These plant-based formulas are also used today among the Amish, where the company's founder grew up.
