Default Vitex tincture or extract? Don't shoot me!!

I know, I know! How many Vitex threads do we really need?! I'm sorry!!

A friend of mine suggested a vitex tincture instead of capsules. In my quest for the right tincture I ran across this extract:

http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails....&pid=5259&at=0

It states:

Quote:
Nature's Answer alcohol free extracts are produced using alcohol, water and natural extractants. All alcohol and extractants are then removed through our cold Bio-Chelated proprietary extraction process, yielding a Holistically Balanced standardized extract. Liquid extracts are absorbed faster than tablets or capsules, and are more potent than tinctures. Holistically Balanced guarantees that the constituents of the extract are in the same synergistic ratios as in the plant.
I'm thinking this is a good thing but wanted to hear from any of you that have possibly tried it.

Thank you so much!

Mine is an alcohol free liquid extract. I got it from Puritan's Pride. Only been on it a week, so I haven't noticed anything yet. I mix a dropper full in a little water. It doesn't taste bad and I have heard liquids are better absorbed than pills too.

Yours looks like you get more bang for your buck. Mine is ~ $4.50 a bottle, but only has 1000mg per 2mL, yours has 2000mg.

I am actually glad you posted this as I am very curious about using this myself. Looks like you did find a good deal.

Hi Robin! - I saw that one on the Puritan's Pride website a while back but decided to not order anything at that time. I had forgotten about it until just now.

Hi Regina! - It's something I've been wondering for a while and have even asked in the main vitex thread. I just want to get the best stuff, yanno?

I just found this one. It has the same concentration as the other I posted, but it costs less.

The only thing I don't like is that it says there's 15 servings per bottle and we're to take 3 servings per day. So, one bottle will only last 5 days?

Really? I'd heard that liquid was better than capsule. Then when I went looking for liquid, I ran across those two types. LOL

I dont take that brand but I take the tincture.. Mine is not alchy free though, I tried one that was and itched all over for days... I guess I just need that little zip zip in the morning the tincture will be absorbed faster in your body that the pill. This is my second month and I've noticed major changes in my cm in the first month alone.. Good luck with it.. I'd give it a shot!

Talking Re:

I tried the one from iherb.. I always, always use iherb because the shipping prices on lightweight items are SO low for me (I live in Ca, near them) and they arrive the next day. Can't beat that. For example, this would cost probably around 1.50 to ship to me, compared to 5 or 6 dollars elsewhere. This bottle doesn't take too bad (unlike the gymnema i bought along with it, YUCK!). I didn't take it consistently, though, so I can't say much about it.. haven't taken anything in a while, actually. I can say, though, that it did last me more than 5 days..
