Why is there sediment in the syrup — is this normal? — Icelandic lichen syrup 120ml Vitateka

Yes, a small amount of sediment is normal for products based on plant extracts. In the case of Iceland moss syrup, it is down to the nature of the raw material itself: the lichen contains mucilage, which can settle during storage.

It is recommended to shake the bottle gently before use so that the ingredients are evenly distributed. This is standard practice for most herbal syrups and suspensions.

If the sediment worries you, or if you notice an unusual change in colour, smell or consistency, check the expiry date and storage conditions. This syrup is stored at room temperature in a dark place, in its tightly closed original packaging, and is used within 2 months of opening.
