FAQs

How long does the 50 ml bottle last?
At 2 ml three to four times a day, you use 6 to 8 ml daily, so the 50 ml bottle lasts about 6 to 8 days. Used only after rich meals, it goes much further.

What does it taste like?
Expect a bitter, earthy base from barberry and dandelion, brightened by peppermint and sweet fennel. A little water, as the label directs, makes it easy to take after a meal.
