Totally palatable that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-tincture#post-830787 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 15:49:09 +0000 mrsjyw 830787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i do the same as @bunnylove08: tilt my head back and drop it in the back of my throat... if it's really bad i'll have a sip of something to wash it down. they say up to an 1 oz is okay! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-tincture#post-830786 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 15:47:47 +0000 bunnylove08 830786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tilited my head back and dropped it down my throat... it was gross but I grinned and bared the taste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-tincture#post-830755 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 15:33:06 +0000 ladyfingers 830755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: Thanks, the cranberry juice is a great idea! I did water with a bit of honey in it today, and it was mildly more tolerable. I'm near the "175 lb" cutoff, so I'm taking 2 ml 3x a day instead of 1 4x a day... so I guess it's good that I can cut out a dose but bad that I have to take double the amount. UGHSHSADA.</p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: Thanks! I'm sure that the concept is all the same with tinctures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-tincture#post-829531 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:11:13 +0000 Mrs.Someone 829531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure if its quite the same, but I have a tincture from my ND for fertility. She said its OK to dilute it in a little bit of juice, so like @Mrs. Twine suggested, I use grape or cranberry and drink it like a shot. Definitely helps! I call it my "vile potion" :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-tincture#post-829447 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:58:26 +0000 Mrs. Twine 829447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, so I looked and saw several instances of people diluting it with a small amount of liquid. I saw several instances where cranberry (or some other strong-flavored) juice was mentioned as being good for mixing with the tincture. Personally, I would try that (mixing with 1-2oz juice) to see if that made for a better experience. When I took it I thought it was gross, but I just drank it. I hope you find a better way of taking it, and if you do, let us know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-tincture#post-829419 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:51:55 +0000 T-Mom 829419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took the mmp tincture (non alcohol) so not sure how the taste compares. But yes it was nasty. I just sucked it up and drank it and kind of got used to it. But since it was so bad I didn't take it as often as it said in the instructions. I imagine that taking it with a bit of water would be ok? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-tincture#post-828666 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 07:33:44 +0000 ladyfingers 828666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my first dose of this this morning, and HOLY GOD the taste is horrifying. I can't take More Milk Plus or anything with fenugreek in it, and the regular More Milk doesn't come in a capsule form.</p> <p>Has anybody taken these tinctures? I know you can't take more than 1-2 oz of water in that 30-minute time frame around your dose, but can you put the tincture in 2 oz of water and drink it that way? I feel like that might be better... not great, but better. I had to chase it with some crackers this morning... and I don't know that I can do this 3 times a day. Blergh. </p>
