Rebecca – I know your post was quite a while back, but from a “super taster’s” viewpoint – for me it’s all about the taste of the powder. Very few are palatable, thus I tincture anything I can (obvious exceptions being things like digestive support and nutritive that don’t perform well as a tincture). With a tincture, I can add some juice or tea to it and just shoot it down quickly! Hope things are working well for you on whichever direction you went with it.
