If it works for me IT WILL WORK FOR YOU (narcoleptic)
This Kola Nut Extract is EXCELLENT quality.I have narcolepsy and suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness.I use this product as a short-term energy booster and wakefulness promoter (when it would be inappropriate to drink coffee (such as any time after 12:00 PM.This product tastes like kola nut (that is cola spp.) and has a rich red color and satisfying bitter taste which attests to its strength and purity. Some other products on the market by larger companies such as n@tures @nswer, advertise that their extract is a 1:1 extract. While I have used that company's product with good results, I wanted to try something else and I have to say that this product outperforms the competitors in every aspect.1: you get more for less2: even though the extract is less than 1:1, I find it to be much more potent due to the higher percentage of ethanol used in the extraction3: it tastes far better and much more like kola nut (competitor's product tastes like glycerin and tends to clot in the dropper bottle)4: IT WORKS!One dropper full of this gives me an immediate lift in mood, energy, and wakefulness. I find this improves my mood while coffee tends to exacerbate feelings of stress for me.A word of caution, though this is obvious. don't combine this with other stimulants in large quantities, it will cause overstimulation. This is a powerful medicine.

Product fine, but the dropper does not work
Dropper has no suction. It was easier to order another bottle so I can use that dropper than send this one back. I previously had a bottle and the dropper worked well. Unfortunately I tossed it because I have plenty of extras from Stevia bottles which use a slightly bigger - longer and in diameter - dropper.

Cola benefits without the junk!
When I get migraine headaches I have long found that drinking a bit of cola helps me -- also helps with nausea. However, we all know that carbonation is unhealthy (as the carbon eats away at our bones!) and of course all the junk they put into Coke and other sodas to sweeten it is (IMHO) all bad --- the sugar, the artificial sweeteners which often irritate digestion... So, I wanted to try this as a substitute. Result: I like it! I mix a full dropper with just a few ounces of ice water and it's delicious. Finally found it -- Coke without the carbonation and without sweetness. I think it's really helping me.The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that there's a bit of coagulation in the bottle -- like little tiny flakes or hunks that don't dissolve --- Now these pieces are honestly super-super tiny. (And I did shake it first, just in case.) Not really a problem, but a bit disconcerting. I admit that somehow it took me 2 years after I bought it before I tried it -- and I cannot find an expiration date on the bottle, so perhaps it's not always like that. Regardless of this small problem, I would definitely buy it again. And now that I finally started using it, I plan to continue. Hey, maybe I'll mix up a jar for the fridge with a bit of organic cherry extract... Hmm...

This product does what it promises!!!!!!
I must start my review by telling you I bought this item based on them goid reviews it had.I got the kola nut extract a week ago and I use it because despite the fact I do take synthroid for my under active thyroid I am not myself energy wise.I love coffee and I drink black tea at work, therefore I followed the instructions given to me by the vendor (kinda of) and when I’m starting to feel like I need more energy at lunch time I drink water with the kola nut extract, only that I have a bottle of water and half of the droplet since I’m very sensitive to medication and natural supplements.So far the changes have been noticeable, I am more active after I leave work (I am an auditor and it consumes a lot of my energy).So far I am very pleased with the results and wry thankful for the follow up emails and advice.If you’re looking for a natural way to get rid of lack of energy, don’t look any further!

Very good for making your own cola
Like the others here, I'm trying to replicate "cola" with no sweetener or sugar using unflavored seltzer water. I mix this (which contains caffeine) along with the All Star Extracts cola extract (caffeine free and also available here on Amazon) to make a pretty decent non-sweet cola drink...at least better than either one of these extracts individually. I think that the Kola Nut extract makes my concoction taste more like "the Real Thing", plus I do often appreciate the slight stimulant effect of the natural stimulants in kola nuts. Please note, however, that Kola Nut alone when added to seltzer will not result in something that tastes like traditional cola...you also need to use a cola extract like I mentioned.For those of you interested, here's what I do: To a glass, I add 1/4 teaspoon of the All Star Extracts Cola Flavor , then add approximately 1/3 - 1/2 dropper of Sunflower Botanicals Kola Nut Extract. Then pour in a 12 oz can of cold, unflavored seltzer water. I had given up colas due to not eating very much sugar any more...and once you do that cola is waaaaay too sweet (including diet). Now I can have that refreshing cola that I like, but completely unsweetened.

Product is Unusable
The dropper is completely clogged up and the liquid inside is hard and dried over. There is no expiration date so I am not sure it it is Bad but it is Unusable.

Still Sleepy After 3 Droppers
I had to take this with a caffeine supplement to fight fatigue at work. At work right now (graveyard shift) and 3 droppers later I am about to fall asleep. Also has alcohol in it which I did not realize before purchase.

Great product
I use this product to make my own version of a (sort of) diet cola without the harmful ingredients in manufactured diet colas. I combine this with another natural cola flavor and stevia. I don't make it as sweet, but I get a cola flavor plus a slight caffeine boost, but don't have the calcium robbing ingredient that is in mass marketed colas. It really helps to wean myself off of the bad sodas.
