        Hello,

         My name is Annette Tipton. I’m enrolled in the School of botanical med. I am looking at the Liver Support and Liver Builder tinctures for my son who has elevated liver enzymes.  The Dr. Seems to think it’s from gallstones. We are waiting on an ultrasound.
        We were considering the liver support and liver builder tincture and gallbladder formula but questioned it b/c of the alcohol content and alcohol’s negative effect on the liver. I’m wondering if we should avoid tinctures b/c of the alcohol?

          I wouldn’t worry about it. The alcohol that is in a tincture probably never reaches the liver, as it usually gets absorbed into the body before it even reaches the stomach. The amount of alcohol you are consuming in a tincture is quite negligible
