Tough Mother

Sweet & Spicy Steept Tonic 32oz

What makes a potent potion? Sometimes it’s ingredients. Sometimes it’s tradition. Our Steept Tonic is a blend of both.

Tough Mother Steept Tonic is a convenient way to support your immunity and overall well-being, or improve your health when you’re on the mend. Our recipe is based on an age-old remedy renown for its medicinal, detoxifying, and immune-boosting benefits.

We’ve changed very little from the way the recipe has been prepared over time, except that we mix ours up in a big kitchen and add a few more life-giving ingredients. Ours is a powerful, immune-boosting mixture. No powders. No concentrates. No shortcuts. Period.

I have done a shot of apple cider vinegar with the mother for many years. I really like this product it has the apple cider vinegar along with several other ingredients that are so good for you and your health. I love the quick that the spice gives. I take a shot every morning :)

Michelle S.

Tough Mother has made a believer out of me! Everyone around me has been sick and I haven't been sick since I've started taking it over 2 years ago!! Thank you Tough Mother!!!

Annette E.

Love this stuff!! I’ve been drinking Tough Mother over a year now, morning and night.

On a week-end away with friends I was given a taste of the tonic and couldn’t believe how tasty it was. I ordered it as soon as I came home. I’ve been taking a tablespoon a day for. Week and honestly my sore joints feel better and my energy level is way up. I don’t know what else to attribut it to so Im giving credit to the tonic.

Lettie O.

Very powerful and potent. It is great for a shot glass once a day or every other day. I would definitely purchase the item again.

kaitlyn m.

Has a kick! Can’t wait to try the hot one

Jo A.

This does have a little spicy edge but I mix it with a 16 oz bottle of water to drink throughout the day. Makes the water refreshing. Great job Tough Mother.

Shanae F.

Love it!!

I've been using this since I've met the founders at the Pecan Street Festival back in 209. This stuff is AWESOME! I drink it straight, use it in salad dressings, anyway I can use it. It's so great for my immune building, detoxing, and even heartburn. This stuff is fantastic! Get ya some!!!

Dwego M.

I. Love. It.! I really love the taste so much. I’ve been taking 2tbs 3x a day because I have a cold, and after 2 days I can definitely tell the cold is dying away! Would Definitely recommend this brand to others

Marisa D.

I was nervous of how much it would burn because I have an ulcer and don't tolerate spicy well. It was a soothing slight burn to my throat. Not bad at all, my 7 and 11 year old (who don't eat spicy) said it wasn't hot. I was having post nasal drip that was giving me a sore throat. After drinking it, the burn soothed my throat.

Marcus A.

I eat salads all the time and Italian Dressing was my go-to default. But, ever since I discovered Tough Mother in Austin at the Pecan Festival in 2018, I have been hooked! No more preservatives for me with the store bought Italian Dressing. I use the SWEET AND SPICY Apple Cider Vinegar and add a hint of black pepper and my salads are delicious. The pic I am sending is yet another empty bottle. Lately I have adopted a regimen where I am mixing a shot of Steept Sipping Tonic to a cocktail of ingredients every morning to start my day and I feel like it is helping me in so many ways.

Tough Mother is a great pick-me-up that keeps my body on top its game. I can tell if I miss taking it for a day or two, sluggish. Have to say my immune system is firing on all cylinders taking it, no colds or flu or covid

Daniel v.

It’s my go to shot....

Angelo Benito F.

The brand name doesn't disappoint, the shot seems so little until you take it. It packs a serious punch and filled with all sorts of flavors and ingredients. Can't wait to try all the different flavors and share this with my other friends who are trying to live a little bit healthier.

Chad H.

A shot a day keeps the doctor away! I never miss a shot and I haven’t been sick in two years!

Dawn M.

This has helped my husband's acid reflux! So glad we found this!

Candace W.

I’ve been using this product for about three years. I’m 70 years old and I love it. l believe I’m healthier as a result of my daily cup of ‘tea’......1 to 2 tablespoons of Tough Mother, 1/2 fresh squeezed lemon and warm water. Thank you for making such a great product!

Susan H.

I have IBS and take a tablespoon each morning. Really helps all my stomach issues.

Sharing it once isn’t enough!! It certainly beats repeating. Thank you.

Best tonic ever. I used to make my own, but this one is so much better!!!!! And it is the best price for homemade, organic master tonic anywhere. HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marcy S.

Arthritis has caused me severe pain in my knees. The first time I tried Tough Mother I noticed the pain lessened in less than a week. I used it for a few months and then stopped. Within a week or so my pain increased again but I didn't purchase it again for a year or more. Recently I started using it again - and again noticed a considerable decrease in pain in less than a week. I will never be without it again!

Crystal O.

This was my first time trying this and I was not disappointed! This is absolutely delicious and I definitely will be getting more!

Serena P.

I love the flavor, it makes the apple cider vinegar much easier to get down. I think that it helps my digestion. It also is great for cooking! The product is always shipped quickly! Great customer service‼️

Heidi B.

I first knew about Tough Mother about three years ago.I was working a booth at the Garden show in Hartford Ct and they were in the booth next to me. Love that they are a family owned business. Ever since the day I first used this product I have not been sick. My husband has been using it all through COVID and he too has not been sick. I truly stand by this wonderful healthy product Thanks Heidi Corum

Anissa B.

I take a shot of this every morning!!! I love it!

Patricia L.

I usually get my Tough Mother Sweet & S[icy Steept at the Farmers Market. With the Arctic storm on its way to Central Texas I knew I needed to keep my gut health in check. I ordered online for the first time and I got my TM in 2 days. Great people, Great product.

Lucretia H.

I feel like I have to have it as one of my daily supplemental vitamins. This product helps me prevent as well as fight off any germs or illness going around. Especially during winter season. I take a SPICY shot every morning. My family also love it... well not so much the taste, but the results!

Jeff T.

I haven’t been sick since I’ve been taking a shot of tonic every morning for the last three years. Thank you

Jared L.

I met the tough mother crew at an expo and they are wonderful people! I love the product and take some every day! Looking forward to being a customer for a long time!

Whether it's a straight shot, or used for cooking, I love the taste and intensity. Pretty sure it keeps me healthy as well.

I have used the vinegar since early 2020, I now have a friends that are using daily. My immune system is stronger, normally get sick every winter and fall for two weeks each time. This past year is good. Thanks for the sample vinegars, I will try on fish and salads plus share with others. Thanks for your prompt delivery. Stay safe.

nancie A.

I was introduced to ToughMother a year and half ago at our local fair. Before the fair was over I had gone back and purchased 4 bottles.....since, I ordered enough thinking I’d make it through until summer 2020 and I’d buy more in person. We all know how 2020 went... I recently ordered 6 months worth. LOVE the Vanilla Sarsaparilla flavor....they’re all good! I know they can’t tout anything medical....but I will tell you I start my day with 2 oz on an empty stomach. The joints which were showing signs and pain of arthritis, don’t hurt any more. I haven’t had a sniffle, sneeze, flu or acid indigestion since starting this. It’s made of all good quality ingredients, organic and yes it is better than just plain apple cider vinegar....think of it as ACV on steroids!~. Nancie ( San Diego )

This product is great to strengthen your immune system; which includes many antibiotic ingredeants. Use it in your morning drink. Long time user, Bob

Jody B.

I started taking 2 TBS/day of Tough Mother in March of 2020 after purchasing a bottle at a garden show. The pandemic hit and I started taking 3 TBS twice a day. In November, my mother, sister and my mother's caregivers got COVID-19. I ended up taking care of my mother along side my sister who was coughing. I wore a double mask and washed my hands until they were raw. I've tested negative 3 times and negative for the antibodies of COVID-19. I was the only one consuming Tough Mother. Sometimes 3X a day if I felt a little under the weather. I am totally convinced that Tough Mother is what kept my immune system going strong and therefore I never got sick. I did get plenty of sleep, ate healthier than ever, and exercised, but to not get COVID-19 when I was in a house 24/7 with 2 sick people is not just a miracle. I'm convinced it is because of Tough Mother and the benefits it provides.

Zuberi R.

I really like the product

Barbara p.

I grab 2 Tbsp with water morning and evening when throat starts to feel a little scratchy, also when I seem to be having trouble with my hieatal hernia and it all soon starts to feel better.

sonja r.

First tried Tough Mother at the Fort Worth Stock Show. Fell in love with the product and have been using it since. Customer service is top notch, they will take care of any issues in a prompt response. Love , love the taste of the sweet & spicy.

Krystle N.

I love this product!!

Kathryn S.

I take this every morning. It makes me feel better overall. So many health benefits. Definitely worth the burn. I have tried other flavors and Sweet & Spicy is my favorite. I have also tried other brands, but Tough Mother hits the spot. I go back to it every time. I'm hooked!
