The natural flavors used in FIRST THING are blends derived from plants including ginger, lemon and pineapple. There are NO synthetic flavors used in FIRST THING.
The flavors we use are extracted using large-scale versions of old-world technologies, such as copper distillation, percolation or spinning cone (low temperature process for sensitive flavors).
These methods simply concentrate the flavor components so they can be used at low levels to enhance the taste, similar to a chef making a reduction or a coulis.
How does FIRST THING taste?
FIRST THING has a powerful, unique flavor profile from the botanicals in the formula. The bitter botanicals are what contribute to the potency of this powerful formula.
For a lighter flavor, add additional water to your FIRST THING when preparing.

- Consume a small amount of honey or food right after you take FIRST THING
