Zoi Medicinals™ tinctures are alcohol and vegetable glycerin extracts of non-toxic herbs. Zoi Medicinals™ formulas contain 10-18% alcohol. Alcohol has been used as a solvent in herbal tinctures for centuries. It extracts active ingredients from the herbs 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. All herbs used in the manufacturing of Zoi Medicinals™ products have been tested for heavy metals, bacteria, fungus, and pesticides.
Directions and Dosage
- Use standard dose daily for consistent mood support and to improve the body’s ability to handle stress.
- Use standard dose daily during times of anxiety.
Dosage
Liquid tinctures are rapidly absorbed by the body and may be taken directly by mouth or 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%.
The standard, adult dose is three droppers full (1.5 ml) three times a day, or as directed by your health care professional. A dropper full is drawn by full compression of the dropper bulb (the dropper may not appear “full”).
- Standard adult dose (100-150 lb) – 3 droppers full (1.5 ml), three times a day.
- Standard adult dose (>150 lb) – 4 droppers full (2.0 ml), three times a day.
- Standard child dose (30-100 lb) – 1 dropper full (0.5 ml), three times a day.
Best results require 4-6 weeks of consistent use. Consistency is more important than dose, so we encourage you to take some tincture each day even if you can’t keep to a regular schedule. As your body responds to the tincture, you may decrease the dose, accordingly.
Cautions
- Consult a medical professional if pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Not to exceed five droppers full at a time.
- Discontinue use if any new symptoms appear, including symptoms of allergic reaction.
- May cause drowsiness (Passionflower).
- If experiencing minor headache or digestive discomfort, reduce the dosage to ⅓ of starting dose and gradually increase to the desired dosage.
- Every body is different, and herbs alter internal processes, so it is important to find the best dosage for you at any given time, while staying within the recommended range.
Biomedical & TCM Details
Xýlo™ is comprised of herbs that affect the nervous system and cognition, including anti-anxiety, anti-depressive, cognitive enhancing and neuro-protective functions. Some herbs are considered adaptogens and several also have anti-inflammatory effects.
Passionflower, valerian, rhodiola, gastrodia have exhibited anti-anxiety effects in various studies. One clinical trial of participants with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) showed that passionflower extract was as effective (and with less side effects) as oxazepam (30 mg/day) in reducing symptoms of anxiety. Other human studies examining passion flower’s effects on pre-operative anxiety reported significant benefits in comparison to placebo and pharmaceuticals...
