Zoi Medicinals formulas contain 18.25% alcohol. Alcohol has been used as a solvent in herbal tinctures for centuries. It extracts active ingredients that are not water-soluble, such as essential oils, alkaloids and resins. It enables the tincture to be fast-acting, potent, shelf-stable for long periods of time, and enables their "grab and go” properties (easily portable, ready to take, no refrigeration required). Zoi Medicinals tinctures use organic ethyl alcohol that is USP certified. It is the same alcohol found in vanilla extract (used for cooking), other tinctures, and liquid homeopathic remedies. The dose is very small and can be diluted into water or other drink making the final alcohol content less than 0.5%, which is similar or less than, the amount of alcohol in a cup of kombucha.

• Use standard dose daily for daily hydration and to manage mild swelling
• Use standard dose daily while you recover
• Use standard dose every 2 hours with water consumption in hot weather, or when at risk of overheating.

Liquid formulas are rapidly absorbed by the body and should be taken by mouth. Hold under the tongue a few moments prior to swallowing; or take in a small amount of water or juice. If alcohol content is a concern, a standard dose (1.5 ml) in one cup of water dilutes the alcohol content to less than 0.5%, or formula can be added to hot tea (alcohol will evaporate) and drink once cooled.

The standard, adult dose is two droppers full (1.5 ml) three times a day, stepping down to twice a day for maintenance, or as directed by your health care professional. One full compression of the dropper bulb is a dropper full, about 0.75 ml (the dropper may not appear “full”).

• Standard adult dose — 2 droppers full (1.5 ml), three times a day; twice a day for maintenance.
• Standard child dose (30-100 lb) — 1 dropper full, three times a day.
• If sensitive to herbs and supplements, start with 1 dropper full, three times a day.

For some, it may take several weeks to notice an effect. Consistency is more important than dose, so take some each

• Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding, unless directed by your health care practitioner.
• Discontinue use if any new symptoms appear, including symptoms of allergic reaction.
• Not to exceed five droppers full at a time.
• With minor stomach upset, take with food.
• If experiencing minor headache or other discomfort, reduce the dosage to ⅓ of starting dose. Gradually increase the dosage each day until you reach to the desired dosage.
• Every body is different, as the formula alters internal processes, your best dosage may change (always stay within the recommended dosage range).
