Can The Capsules Be Opened And Added To Something?Updated a year ago

Yes, generally you can open up an herbal supplement and mix the extract powder with something else, such as a beverage, food, tea mix, etc. This may be beneficial for individuals who struggle swallowing capsules or prefer to integrate supplements into their meals. Please keep in mind these considerations:

Taste & Solubility: The extract may have a strong or unpleasant taste/aroma, which could affect whatever you mix it with. Also, not all extracts are fully soluble in liquids, so they might not mix well and could leave a gritty texture.

Efficacy: Adding to food and drinks might delay the absorption compared to taking the capsule directly. 

Storage: Once a capsule is opened, the powder inside might be exposed to air and moisture, which can affect its shelf life. Use the powder soon after opening the capsule to retain its potency.

Plant Therapy has not tested capsule usage in this way and will not provide recommendations or recipes on this method beyond what is listed above.
