You may ask, what's the difference between taking the powder and taking the tincture? Well, here's the quick down low.
Taking a tincture gets absorbed quickly into your tissues the second its inside your mouth, more gets absorbed in the esophagus, and etc. It's a faster way to absorb the benefits of the herb. It tastes bad, but I like to put the tincture amounts in my last swallow of a cup of orange juice. Helps to mask the taste.
Taking pills of a herb, it goes into your stomach before it gets absorbed. So stomach acid kills some off, but lets some get processed after. When you eat herbs, then have an excess of vitamins once everything is processed, the excess gets stored in your liver for later use.
So, for those wondering, if you drink, it kills the extra vitamins and minerals that are stored in your liver for later use. Meaning, you take your pill vitamins, have a couple drinks, and everything that should kick in when you wake up, doesn't. Simply because there's no vitamins left.
Tinctures are the way to go for most adults, but ages 12+ who don't drink benefit just as much from the powdered pills.
**I don't always buy powdered herbs, if it's something I have harvested, I powder it myself for pills. Seaweed is the exception because I've literally never ever seen an ocean**
