Administration
What is the best way to take herbs?
The best way to take herbs is on an empty stomach that is between meals when absorption is quicker. You can take herbs with meals, only they are less efficiently absorbed. As we tell clients in our clinic, it is best to take herbs on an empty stomach, but if you forget, it's better that you take them with meals ,than to not take them at all.
Is it ok to take your products with other herbs or supplements?
In general it's fine to take our products with supplements. It is best not to take too many herbs at one time. Unless directed by an herbalist, it is best to take one herbal product at a time. If you become very comfortable with herbs you might try a second formula. A good rule of thumb unless you are an experienced herbalist, is no more that two herbal formulas at one time.
Should I be concerned about the absorption of herbal tablets?
The Health Concerns formulas are tested for dissolution to make sure they break down adequately in the stomach. Keep in mind many Chinese herbal products are not tested in this fashion. Of course there are some individuals with very weak digestive systems. In this case grind tablets and add hot water to make tea.
