These are herbal liquids extracted in glycerol rather than alcohol.
They taste sweeter and are more palatable for children, and are also suitable for people who avoid alcohol for health or religious reasons.
Glycetracts are not suitable for diabetics.
I have a limited amount of glycetracts in stock at any given time, so I will update this list regularly.
