Rio Health P’nella (Anise) 30ml

Rio Health P’nella is an extract derived from the leaves and stems of Pimpinella anisum, commonly known as Anise.  The seedpods of this flowering plant that is native to the Mediterranean and Asia, are known as aniseed, an aromatic and strong-flavoured spice used in cooking and confectionery.

The Rio Health range, new in 2020, is a range of 25 tinctures of mainly South American botanicals. Each is a 1:3 tincture using 55% alcohol, provided in glass bottles with calibrated dropper for easy dispensing. Most of the plants are grown in Peru where they are ecologically wildcrafted.

Unlike tablets and capsules which need to be broken down by the digestive system, tinctures absorb readily by the body. No excipients are needed so each tincture contains only water, alcohol and the botanical ingredient(s). Tinctures also readily permit easy titration (increasing of dose slowly upward), which is an important consideration for adults and children alike.

Note that Rio Health tinctures likely can be used at lower dose (number of drops) than some other brands, and are competitively priced.
