The false unicorn root tincture I recieved was great quality, however I should have listened to customer service advice when I called. I am pregnant, and the alcohol base in the tincture is not recommended for pregnant women, but the price was better than loose root. I also have nasty flare ups to drinking alcohol (I didn't think a few drops a day would hurt, but . . . it didn't go so well). Fortunately, I found a way to evaporate the alcohol from the tincture and v'olla! It has caused less flare up symptoms. My advice. If you have allergies to alcohol or sugar (glycerin tinctures), go with the loose root false unicorn, even though the prices are a bit heavier. The product here is legit and much better priced for those of us who cannot afford what most companies sell this amazing herb for.

Hi, I had a miscarriage and then couldn't conceive for 2 years and had been vegetarian for 4 years. My OBGYN told me that I needed to add protein in my diet (so I started a low carb organic diet) and also suggested a high ratio false unicorn root herbal tincture. I found this site and showed it to my OBGYN and she suggested that I try this tincture along with adding meat protein to my diet. For 2 full months I took false unicorn 12 drops two to three times a day and this month I conceived. My OBGYN also suggested that I continue to take the false unicorn root and eat meat for the first 3 months of my pregnancy, into my 2nd trimester now ...so far so good:)

Received my false unicorn tincture very quickly and the quality is exceptional. It's the right color and not watered down like most other retailers. This tincture is very strong and potent so you don't need as much. Would I recommend this to friends? Yes, I would! Why, because they make a wonderful product and you can tell they take pride in their work and love for healthy living
