Wild & OrganicSkullcap Tincture - Relaxation, Good Mood, Calmness - Liquid Skullcap Herb Supplement - Vegan, Sugar & Alcohol-Free Drops - 2 fl oz

As described

If you're familiar with using skullcap, try this brand. If not, do some googling snd give this a try. There's lots of benefits but this could potentially cause drowsiness. Not a bad thing if your specifically using it to help in that arena.

This herb has a variety of uses for health and wellness, but I primarily wanted to try it to relieve the symptoms of inflammation and anxiety. The tincture is of exceptional quality and doesn't use alcohol, which I personally prefer. The glycerin gives it a slightly sweet taste and it's easy to get it down. If you don't like the flavor, you can mix it into juice, a smoothie, or a tea. While the tincture is high quality, I do wish that the dropper in the bottle had a dosage line, because "one bulb squeeze" may vary from user to user. I use a tincture from another brand, and the dropper has lines on it to make dosing more straightforward. I'd like to see this company do something similar. That's my only complaint.The product is made in the US and is third-party lab tests which are absolute musts when buying these types of products since the FDA doesn't regulate them and quality and efficacy across different brands have been shown to be disappointing and even outright misleading, so I was happy to see that Wild & Organic backs up their product with independent testing and is GMO and preservative-free. I've purchased several different tinctures from this brand and all have been the same high quality, so I will continue to purchase them.If you're unfamiliar with skullcap, there is a Chinese and an American variety. This tincture is Scutellaria lateriflora, which is the American one. The two generally have similar uses, but American skullcap is generally used for the following things:Anxiety and Stress: American skullcap is often used to reduce symptoms of anxiety, nervousness, and stress. It is believed to have mild sedative properties that can help calm the mind and promote relaxation without causing drowsiness.Insomnia and Sleep Disorders: Due to its calming effects, American skullcap is sometimes used as a natural remedy for insomnia and other sleep disturbances. It may help individuals fall asleep more easily and improve overall sleep quality.Nervous System Support: This herb is considered a nervine, which means it is used to support and tonify the nervous system. Some people take American skullcap as a tonic to help balance and strengthen the nervous system over time.Tension Headaches: American skullcap may be used to alleviate tension headaches and other types of headaches related to stress and nervous tension.Mild Muscle Relaxant: In some cases, American skullcap is used as a mild muscle relaxant to ease muscle tension and discomfort.Mood Disorders: While it is not a primary treatment for mood disorders like depression, some people use American skullcap as part of a holistic approach to managing mood-related symptoms.It's important to note that scientific research on American skullcap's effectiveness for these purposes is limited, and individual responses may vary. As with any herbal remedy, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or herbalist before using American skullcap, especially if you take medications, or have underlying health conditions.

I like taking Skullcap for sleep. I don't take it every night... I only take it after a couple nights of insomnia when I'm feeling extra exhausted and I really want a night without waking up. It works for me. I researched the Wild & Organic brand. Their website is accessible and tells their brand story. I like that their products are 100% organic, FDA approved (GMP certification) and third-party tested, sugar-free and alcohol-free, created by a family-owned business located in California.I take four supplemental tinctures made by Wild & Organic and I like them all.One thing to note... one claim they're not making is "USDA Certified Organic". We do need to trust their marketing materials that their products are made from 100% organic ingredients. They are a small family-owned business with a mission and I know it's very costly to apply for and adhere to Federal regulations. One can adopt organic farming and manufacturing practices and commit to using 100% organic ingredients, without going through the process to become Federally certified. I trust them.

I did not notice a difference. Maybe I need to take it for a longer period of time.

Like most supplements and products like this that I review, I'm not rating it on how effective it is. The effects are too subtle and subjective for that. What I can say is that it is easy enough to take when following the directions, no terrible flavor, doesn't make me feel ill after use. No complaints whatsoever, so feel free to give it a try yourself.

I love that this tincture contains Organic Skullcap, and it is made in the U.S.A. It does not contain unnecessary additives that many other supplements contain. The "other ingredients" include Certified organic vegetable glycerin, and distilled water. Does NOT contain alcohol or sugar. This seems like a quality brand supplement.The label matches the one in the product's description.There is no exact measurement for dosage, as it states to add one full squeeze of the dropper bulb to 2 oz of water or juice.I always have a hard time telling if supplements are making any major difference in how I am feeling. Per on-line search, other than aiding in restful sleep and having a calming effect, this herb may also be used for allergies, infections, inflammation, headaches, etc. Skullcap seems to have many uses.The taste is very pleasant and sweet, most-likely from the Organic vegetable glycerin.

Not that there's anything wrong with this product, it's just that I'm not feeling the effects that I was hoping for, at least not yet. I have no objection to the taste, and have had no adverse reactions to speak of.
