How should Vitateka echinacea tincture be taken, and when is the best time to fit it into your daily routine? — Echinacea tincture, 25 ml – Vitateka

Echinacea tincture comes in liquid form with an extract ratio of 1:5, meaning the plant material has been turned into a solution of a set concentration. The liquid format is convenient because, unlike capsules, it does not need to be washed down with a lot of water, and it is easy to measure out. Tinctures of this type are usually diluted in a small amount of water before taking.

The specific regimen (number of drops and how often) is given in the product instructions — it is worth reading them before starting a course, as the manufacturer bases its recommendations on the concentration of the extract.

By the way it is used, this is a product for a course rather than a one-off dose. It is most often chosen during periods of:

• increased work or physical load;
• travel and sudden changes of climate or weather;
• close contact with large numbers of people — on public transport or at events.

The compact 25 ml bottle is easy to keep somewhere visible at home or to take with you when travelling so that you do not interrupt the course. If you take any medication, are expecting a baby or are breastfeeding, consult a specialist before you start taking it.
