Using Capsules and Tablets

Making Capsules and Tablets Part of Your Wellness Routine

While many people are already familiar with using capsules and tablets—and taking them requires little to no explanation, our Using Capsules and Tablets guide details how these products can fit seamlessly into your day, with specific guidance on daily use, advice on comparing capsules to powders to tinctures, and tips to help you get the most from each product and from each serving.

Capsules and Tablets Provide Simple, Daily Herbal Support

Capsules and tablets offer a straightforward way to take our products every day. Each serving is pre-measured, delivering consistent strength without extra preparation—and made from the same exceptional, high integrity ingredients as we use in all our products.

Our capsules and tablets are gluten-free, ancestral, paleo, vegan, and non-GMO, with UV-protected packaging to preserve freshness and potency. This product form is ideal for those starting out with their journey into herbalism, frequently on the go, or looking for a simple, consistent way to bring phytotherapeutic support into their daily life.

Why Choose Capsules and Tablets

Capsules and tablets make herbalism simple, consistent, and approachable. They offer a reliable way to integrate these important botanicals and functional mushrooms into your daily routine—all without compromising purity or effectiveness.*

Here’s why this form works so well for everyday use:

• Effortless and Familiar – Most people already know this form, which makes it easy to establish and maintain a daily habit.
• Consistent and Reliable – Each serving delivers a precisely measured amount of our phyto- and mycotherapeutics.*
• No Preparation Required – Just follow the recommended serving, take it with water, and continue with your day.

How to Use This Form of Herbalism

Capsules and tablets are designed to be straightforward and convenient, so you can make herbal support a consistent part of your day. There’s no single “right” way to take them—choose the method that fits your routine and feels easiest for you.

• Take with Water – The simplest and most common method is to take your capsules or tablets with several ounces of cool water. This ensures smooth digestion and reliable absorption.
• Chew (for Chewable Tablets) – Chew the tablet thoroughly and enjoy it as a nourishing functional food. This is especially convenient for busy mornings, workouts, or travel. Follow with a glass of water to support digestion and maximize absorption.*

Using Capsules and Tablets in Place of Powders

Capsules and their corresponding powders are made from the same high-integrity ingredients, so you can substitute one for the other without reducing effectiveness. This makes capsules a convenient alternative when you want the benefits of the powder form but prefer a simpler, pre-measured option. And vice versa: you can swap capsules for an extract powder or RAW pollen powder as desired.

But Know the Differences

RAW Pine Pollen™ and Pine Pollen Extract are not interchangeable. Their processing and extraction methods yield different properties and effects, so choose the form that aligns with your intended use. Similarly, extract powders and RAW pollen powders are not always interchangeable with tinctures. See each product page for specific guidance (or feel free to reach out to us with your questions).

Respect Each Form’s Strengths

Whole herbs, extracts, powders, and tinctures each have unique bioavailability and strength. Substituting one form for another may change how your body absorbs and responds to the botanicals. Capsules and tablets offer consistency and ease, but they are just one way to experience the full spectrum of our plant allies.

Product Use Recommendation

Keep a few extras close so your routine remains consistent, and always take the suggested serving with water to support optimal absorption.*

Best Practices for Optimal Results

Follow these guidelines to support consistency and maximize benefits.

• Stay Consistent – Take your capsules and tablets at the same time each day to support cumulative benefits.
• Split the Dose if Needed – Some people prefer taking two-thirds of their daily serving in the morning and one-third later in the day.
• Use on an Empty Stomach – For best absorption, take at least two hours after eating and wait 30 minutes before your next meal.*
• Store Properly – Keep capsules or tablets in a cool, dry place and seal tightly to protect them from moisture and air.
• Work with your Circadian Rhythm – Adaptogenic and proandrogenic herbs are often most effective when taken in the morning, aligning with the body’s natural hormone cycles.*
