Are herbs in capsule form absorbed well if taken with a meal or do they do their best work between meals? I don’t want to give anyone a belly ache but I want to be sure they are absorbing the herbs to the best of their ability. Thanks!

I don’t care much for capsules in general. Sometimes herbs want to do important things before before they get to the small intestine when the gelatin of the capsule finally gets broken down. For some herbs and applications it doesn’t matter. And for some people it’s all they can swallow so they have their place but they’re not ideal.
Herbs will absorb fine with food in the belly and will also be much less likely to cause a belly ache.
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
