Q: I feel I could use some more support; can this be taken with other Mother Moon products?

A: Yes, all Mother Moon products are safe to take together. They should be taken 30 minutes before meals with as little water as possible for best results.

Q: I don't drink alcohol, do you have an alcohol free version?

A: We use alcohol to extract the powerful healing constitutes from the herbs as we believe and have been taught that this is the most effective method. You can however dilute the tincture in a cup of hot water. This method helps evaporate most of the alcohol while still preserving the tincture’s beneficial properties. Let it sit for a few minutes before drinking.

Q: Can I mix this with juice or a smoothie?

A: All of our tinctures can be taken sublingually (under the tongue), direct orally, or in juice, water, smoothies, applesauce, etc. except for Digest-Support which must be taken alone with water prior to a meal.

Q: There is sediment at the bottom of my tincture bottle or discoloration of the dropper; what is it?

A: Since our products are made from herbs, sometimes herbal sediment isn’t completely strained. Chances are, if you notice any sediment at the bottom of the bottle or discolouration at the tip of the dropper, it’s from the herbs.
