FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: If I only have one tonic, will it help me at
all?
A: Think of tonics as being a good-for-you whole
food such as broccoli. While one portion will give
you some nutrition, obviously eating nutritious food
on a regular basis will be better for you.
Q: Should I have a tonic with food?
A: Again, since tonics are basically whole foods,
they can be consumed with food or as a stand alone
beverage experience.
Q: Are they safe and can anybody drink
them?
A: Being “tonic herbs” they are safe for regular
consumption, however we recommend that pregnant
or lactating women and very young children do
not drink tonics. We also caution against drinking
tonics if you’re taking pharmaceutical drugs and are
under a doctors care. In such an instance, we suggest
you first check with your primary health care
practitioner.
Q: How many tonics can I drink in a day?
A: We recommend up to three tonics a day for
optimal benefit.
Q: Can they be mixed with alcohol?
A: They can be mixed with alcohol so long as you
find the right blend of tastes that are satisfying to
the pallet and approach it with the same respect
and responsibility as you would any other alcohol
based cocktail. However, since Liquid Yoga® is
meant to relax and take the edge off, we don’t recommend
blending this formula with alcohol. Alcohol,
by its nature, can impair reflexes and sensory
abilities. Therefore, mixing it with anything that can
further relax or stimulate the body is not recommended.
While alcohol might be depleting to the
body, the tonic will still provide a nitrifying effect.
However, that being said, tonics are a wonderful
stand alone beverage and most people prefer to
consume them in their natural non-alcoholic state.
Q: Can I mix different tonics together?
A: Different elixir tonics® can be blended together,
however since the energetics of each formula
has been carefully conceived, we recommend
that you stick with the beverages we’ve presented
as is. For instance, one wouldn’t want to mix Liquid
Yoga® a relaxing formula with Power Plant®
a tonic for energy.
Q: Are the tonics safe for diabetics?
A: Tolerance for sugar will vary between individuals.
The sugar content in each tonic is listed on the
nutrition panel. We suggest you let the customer
know the amount of sugar in each elixir tonic® and
let them make that decision.
