What is the difference between Motherlove alcohol based extracts and the alcohol-free extracts?
Initially, both products are extracted in alcohol and water. An alcohol/water blend is the preferred medium as it extracts the widest range of constituents from the herbs. The amount of alcohol in the finished extract is minimal and is not contraindicated in breastfeeding, but it does have a sharp taste. In the alcohol-free products, the alcohol is slowly steamed away, without removing the important constituents. Glycerin, a sweet syrup derived from coconuts, is then added to replace the alcohol. We offer alcohol-free choices in the More Milk Plus, More Milk Special Blend and More Milk Two products. Our More Milk Plus Vegetarian Capsules and Goat’s Rue Vegetarian Capsules are also alcohol-free. Back to Top…
