BrainMax Pure Kola nut tincture 1:5, 100 ml

The kola nut is the kernel of the fruit of a large African tree grown all over the world. It is very popular among the population as a caffeine-containing stimulant. The effects of kola nut could be compared to coffee. The caffeine and theobromine in the nut increases the heart rate and thus improves blood circulation. Cola Nut helps control body weight. The nuts are harvested by hand and then dried in special dehumidifiers so that none of the active ingredients are lost. Discoloured, unripe and insect-damaged nuts are not included in the tincture process. The tincture is packed in dark bottles, thus sufficiently protected from light. You can take it on its own, but also add it to water or juice. When the tincture is in a 1:5 ratio with a 25% alcohol content, this means that for 1 part of the herbal extract there are 5 parts of the total solution (alcohol and water).

Benefits of herbal tinctures

Maceration is probably the oldest type of herb processing. Plants steeped in distilled alcohol have taken firm root in Western medicine. Alcohol is used to "break down" the plant's cell wall, allowing the release of biologically active compounds. The highest quality plants are selected for the tincture and after thorough cleansing they are slowly infused in 25% alcohol. Tinctures are much more concentrated than herbal decoctions alone, making their effects more noticeable in a shorter period of time. Moreover, thanks to the alcohol content, they have a long shelf life and can last for several years if stored properly. The tincture is packed in dark bottles to protect it sufficiently from light. You can take it on its own, but also add it to water or juice.
