The Human Body Absorbs Liquids Efficiently The most important benefit of using liquid herbal extracts is that they do not require digestion. Liquid extracts can be absorbed into the system directly and bypass the digestive process. This is a faster and more efficient method to get the medicinal herbal components into the system.

Taking Drops is Easier Many people avoid consistently taking vitamin and herbal supplements simply because they do not like to swallow capsules or tablets. Using liquid herbal extracts allows you to avoid swallowing capsules while still getting the benefit of consuming the herbs. It is easier and faster than capsules or tablets.

Tasting the Herb Can Aid Effectiveness
Studies have shown that the sensory experience of taste directly effects human physiological functions. The experience of taste is not merely for enjoyment purposes but my contribute to facilitating healing and strengthening bodily processes. When a taste is perceived by the taste buds on the tongue, neurotransmitters are released into nervous tissue fibers that result in signaling the medulla of the brain. In the case of tasting something ‘bitter’ once this initial signal from the tongue reaches the medulla, a nerve impulse is then initiated which results in an increase in gastric, pancreatic, gallbladder, and liver secretion. Simply by tasting something bitter you’re able to facilitate a myriad of digestive and other physiological functions.

Liquid Extracts Last Longer Herbal extracts have a long shelf-life. Extracts containing alcohol can maintain potency at a shelf life of up to 5 years. While those containing no alcohol, mainly glycerites, may be used up to 3 years at consistent potency. This contrast with some herbal capsules containing dried herbs which may lose activity potential a year or so after production. Shelf-life potency is important to consider if you purchase and store herbs for consumption at a later date or over a considerable period of time.
