Frequently Asked Questions
Mamoosh FAQ
Q: Tincture Differences: Cream vs. Black
The Cream tincture is our original formulation designed for women and is considered "safe" for use during pregnancy. We understand that preferences for what’s deemed safe can vary, and some individuals choose to avoid Ashwagandha, which is an ingredient found in our Black tincture, while pregnant.
We transitioned from labeling our products as "men's" and "women's" to "Cream" and "Black" because we received feedback from women who were using the "men's" tincture and experiencing great results.
Ultimately, the difference between the two lies in your personal preference regarding the ingredients included in each.
Q: Do you need to cycle on and off tinctures?
Optimal results with these adaptogenic, balancing herbs will be achieved with regular use. Our tinctures are crafted from a unique blend of ancient herbs designed to support the body in order to achieve balance and harmony from within. Although regular daily use is recommended to achieve optimal results, it may be beneficial to cycle off the herbs for one week after three continuous months of use. While this is not necessary, temporarily cycling off of any herb or supplement can show you its efficacy.
Q: How many grams of Maca/each ingredient are in the tincture?
We use a traditional method of extraction, since our tinctures are blends of herbs, and we have both a glycerin and alcohol extract. With the alcohol extract, it is absorbed much quicker, as it is taken in through the stomach lining, instead of having to go through the digestive tract. Also, since it is measured in volume instead of milligrams, it is hard to calculate one single ingredient in the product.
Q: Will the tincture keep me awake at night if I take it right before bed?
Since everyone has a different biochemistry, herbs can affect each body differently. Maca can be energizing if it is taken by itself, but the synergistic blend of herbs should be balanced, as Ashwanganda and Saffron typically relax, for example. Using personal experience for your routine is best; if it keeps you awake at night, perhaps rotate to take in the morning instead.
Q: When is the best time to take Mamoosh Libido Tinctures?
Feel free to incorporate the tinctures at any point throughout the day. Establish consistency by integrating them into one of your daily routines, whether it’s with your morning coffee, herbal tea or just under your tongue.
Q: Is this safe to use while pregnant or nursing?
While many women in our community enjoy Mamoosh tinctures during pregnancy and breastfeeding, we recommend talking to your trusted healthcare provider. We recommend consulting with your holistic healthcare practitioner, midwife, or lactation consultant before introducing any new supplement into your diet while expecting or nursing.
Q: Does the tincture break a fast?
If you are on a strict water fast, or even a dry fast, then you wouldn’t want to take herbs. With some fasts, you want to consume zero calories, and even the alcohol in a tincture may have 7 calories per gram and the glycerine may have 4 calories per gram.
But herbs can be taken along with fasting. Doing so may even become a major focus of the fasting by taking an herb fast where you will gain additional benefits. When one is fasting, the effects of the herbs may be “felt” to a greater extent, which can be very positive. Furthermore, herbs can make going through a fast easier. Many herbs, such as the herbs in these tinctures, may help give you energy and focus during a fast.
Q: I’m having a hard time filling the dropper to the 1mL mark. What should I do?
If you’re struggling to fill the dropper to the 1mL mark, try filling it as much as you can and then use a second dropper to add the remaining desired amount.
Q: How do you get the best results when taking Mamoosh libido tinctures?
Optimal results are achieved through regular use of the product over at least 3 months.
Q: Are there any additional lifestyle recommendations to accompany Mamoosh Libido Tinctures to maximize the benefits?
If you are looking to make a positive and long term change to improve sexual health, we always recommend incorporating healthy lifestyle habits along with the use of Mamoosh Libido tinctures. Adding in any of the 50 free tools on Angi and Arlynds website will increase your benefits.
Adding in at least one or more of the following lifestyle recommendations may enhance the benefits:
- Reduce amount of processed foods in diet
- Consume nutrient-dense foods
- Buy organic whenever possible
- Get plenty of movement
- Practice stress-relieving techniques such as deep breathing, grounding, walking, praying
- Set yourself up for quality sleep (quantity will vary throughout seasons)
- Focus on quality hydration by including good quality filtered water, herbal teas and electrolytes.
Q: How young can you give this tincture to teenagers?
This tincture can typically be used for teenagers, usually around the ages of 12 and older, but we recommend you consult a holistic minded healthcare professional first. Since teenagers are still growing and developing, a healthcare provider can offer personalized advice on safety and appropriate dosing based on individual health needs.
