BrainMax Pure Gymnema tincture 1:3, 100 ml

In Ayurvedic medicine, it is considered one of the main plants for regulating blood sugar and insulin levels. It also affects the taste buds by blocking receptors in the intestines and thus sugar absorption, which reduces post-meal blood sugar levels. One of the primary active substances in this plant is gymnemic acid – a compound structurally similar to glucose, but it acts completely differently in the body. It is also used to support fat loss because it suppresses appetite. A 1:3 tincture ratio with 45% alcohol content means that 1 part herbal extract corresponds to 3 parts of the total solution (alcohol and water).

Benefits of herbal tinctures

Macerating herbs is probably the oldest form of herbal processing. Steeping plants in distilled alcohol has also firmly established itself in Western medicine. Alcohol breaks down the plant's cell walls, releasing biologically active compounds. Only the highest-quality plants are selected for the tincture and, after thorough cleaning, they are slowly steeped in 45% alcohol. Tinctures are much more concentrated than herbal decoctions alone, which makes their effects noticeable in a shorter time. Additionally, the alcohol content gives them a long shelf life, lasting for several years when stored correctly. The tincture comes in dark bottles to ensure sufficient protection from light. You can take it on its own or add it to water or juice.
