Dosage

Typical adult dose is one capsule t.i.d. but can go higher if needed.

Tincture is designed for children but can be used by adults also. Dosage is 10-30 drops 3x per day.

Our tincture is extracted with organic cane alcohol which is then boiled off (as much as possible while retaining potency) and then organic glycerin is added.

Most tinctures on the market are extracted by non-organic grain based alcohol (many from GMO corn ethanol). While Supreme Nutrition Products has never done a tincture before, the demand for a few antimicrobials for small children has made us decide to make this. The product obviously can also be used for adults.
