It looks like this is something new, never saw it before.
It is a 16oz bottle for $22.93
Right now it is impossible to find the Planetary Herbals
every store is out of stock, who knows may be they will come out with a new product.
These are the Now ingredients:
Proprietary Liquid Extract Blend of:
Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Dandelion Root (Taraxacum officinale), Gentian Root (Gentiana lutea), Angelica Root (Angelica archangelica), Turmeric Root (Curcuma longa), Juniper Berry (Juniperus communis), Blessed Thistle (Cnicus benedictus) (Aerial Parts) and Rhubarb Root (Rheum palmatum)
Hv does this sound ok, except may be the rhubarb root.

This is a reply to # 1,893,521The first bitter I tried was Jiaogulan. I happened to have the capsules on hand, but later when I bought the liquid bitters, and I've tried several different kinds, they had no effect on me and they didn't even taste bitter compared to the Jiaogulan. So it was just a waste of money. I now just stick with the Jiaogulan. My husband says the powder tastes like he is licking an ash tray.
I don't use much of the powder so cost wise it doesn't seem too bad. One capsule can last up to a week.
Just thought I'd mention my experience as another option.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,894,099Yes it is important to share, my experience is that the threads get better with different input. Even Hv's posts get more detailed.
He has mentioned that licorice is bitter too.
I bought a little bottle of sweetish (not swedish) bitters
from Gaia that Hv mentioned before, don't like it as well
and it is expensive.
I was kind of desperate since I use it at least 3x a day
for my gallstone and I don't want to be without.
I did not find the other kind bitter anymore either, but Hv said in one of his post that was ok since it is still
bitter.

This is a reply to # 1,894,105I have been on CZ probably 10 years and I find just
reading articles or books is not as helpful as a forum.
It seems when you just read you always come up with more
questions and on a forum other people come up with questions you had not thought of yourself.
Yesterday I spent several hours researching skin rash
and it was good to see all the different rashes there
are and the different answers.
I was able, it looks like, to solve my problem with
bagging my feet and use ozone. Plus I learned about the skin in general.

Not bitter, it is sweet. Licorice root is about 50 times sweeter than table sugar. They probably added it to help make the bitters easier to get down.

This is a reply to # 1,897,466as mentioned in all your posts. I might need a memory
supplement :)
I also gave you a bad alert when I was going to answer your post instead of clicking on text, must need more than just a memory pill...

Yes, jiaogulan is definitely bitter. I dilute the tea down quite a bit then add a little stevia extract, which I really like the flavor of. Full strength jiaogulan tea though is pretty rough to get down.

I've never tried making a tea. I open a capsule and pour the powder directly onto my tongue. I sometimes can't get rid of the taste for hours. If someone I know tries it and makes a funny expression on their face and complains, I tell them not to be a whimp.

Hv does this sound ok, except may be the rhubarb root.The rhubarb root is not good since it is a strong stimulant laxative.
Another herb that should have been left out was the angelica root, which contains coumarins and psoralens that are photosensitizers.
If people stick to the small amounts I recommend, a half dropper full, the risk of problems is negligible.
