Supplement sleunt.(Q&A)(comparison of herbal liquids and capsules)(Brief article)
Q: What's the difference between herbal liquids and capsules? Is one form superior?
A: Herbal capsules are two-piece capsules typically made from animal gelatin, or plant cellulose.
They are filled with single herbs or herb combinations for specific uses. The herbs are whole powders ground from dried flowers, roots, stems or leaves; powdered ratio extracts, which concentrate the powders; or standardized extracts, which contain a specific amount of an active compound.
Herbal liquid extracts are concentrated liquids prepared by extracting the herbs' active substances in an alcohol/water base. Nonalcohol extracts, called glycerites, are prepared by extracting herbs in alcohol and water, then evaporating the alcohol and blending the herbs into vegetable glycerine. A specified number of drops of the extract is placed in water and mixed.
