After an indulgent holiday season, January can be the perfect time for a reset. Consuming too much alcohol can too often leave us feeling hungover, depleted, bloated, and even irritated. An alcohol-free January can help us get back on track with a healthy sleep schedule, workout routine, new habits, and leave us blissfully regret free.
We consume alcohol for many reasons—for relaxation and stress relief, to celebrate, social inhibition, and many times just out of habit. We know a lot of people want to drink less, but feel like they can’t without a replacement that’ll still support them in reducing stress, boosting mood, and getting better sleep.
That’s where we come in.
Take the Edge Off ®, Rosé-Tinted Glasses™, and Wine Down™ are each uniquely formulated by our Clinical Herbalists to relax the nervous system, both in-the-moment and when taken over time.
Don’t know which tincture is right for you? Just starting to dabble in herbal medicine? With our Free Spirit Minis set (now available new and improved), you get to sample them all. It includes our three wine-inspired tinctures that can be used at different times of the day and for specific impacts within the body. Read below for more details on when and why to take each formulation.

Rosé-Tinted Glasses™
Our rosé-inspired tincture, Rosé-Tinted Glasses™ was formulated to energize the mind, support skin health, boost mood, and provide long-term stress support. It contains adaptogenic schisandra berry and Siberian ginseng that help balance the nervous system over time and overcome nagging feelings of stress and fatigue. The lion’s mane mushroom in the formula supports cognition and memory, helping to keep us sharp and clear away the brain fog cobwebs.
Hibiscus, rosehips, and strawberries round out the formula to help provide vital antioxidants, nutrients, and that tart and fruity rosé vibe. This is a daytime or pre-party formula that supports energy levels and mood, so you can be the life of the party, without the hangover or the crash.
When should I use Rosé-Tinted Glasses™?

- When you are looking for more energy

- When both your skin and nervous system need long term support

Wine Down™
We formulated this red wine-inspired non-alcoholic tincture to deeply relax the mind and body while supporting immunity, heart health, and deep sleep. This formula contains powerful nervine herbs that help calm stress and worry while soothing the nervous system in a moment’s notice.
Wine Down™ is also officially our first clinically-studied product! In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study with 80 participants conducted for 8 weeks:
- Over 96% of participants reported drinking less after just two weeks of using Wine Down™.
- Over 85% of participants consumed fewer alcoholic drinks within eight weeks of using Wine Down™.
- Over 60% of participants saw improved sleep quality within eight weeks of using Wine Down™.
Compared to Take the Edge Off ®, the functional herbs in this formula have higher relaxation, sleep, and immune support properties. Wine Down™ is meant to be enjoyed in the evening time or whenever you are seeking deep relaxation. It contains ingredients with deep calming properties like California poppy, blue vervain, and the amino acid, L-theanine. These functional ingredients have been shown to help improve our sleep quality and duration, support muscle relaxation, and ease tension in the moment.
When should I take Wine Down™?
- During the evening or anytime you need deep relaxation
- When you are looking for an alternative to red wine for evening calm
- When you can’t sleep
- When you are feeling under the weather
- To ease tension in the evening
- To calm restlessness at night
