Are Essiac capsules as strong as the brewed liquid versions?

Either one works well for me. The liquid has to sit for at least 24 hrs. to properly blend, and has a Godawful taste but by golly, it really works.

I cannot say for sure . I have the sense it is one of the better capsules available but that is a guess . I am not so sure about the NOW brand

The brewed version is always in my opinion the best way to take Essiac. I use the capsules when I am away from home and cannot take the brewed tea with me.

I heard of Rogiscal and a friend of mine has tried it. Same ingredients but in a gel capsule form also the price is much better.

Mine were capsules too. And I'm not a fan. The capsule has a much stronger fishy taste.

Sorry, I cannot say. I did not buy this for myself. On the other hand, you can always open a capsule then pour the ingredients into any liquid. Or if it's a tablet you can crush it then put it into a drink. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Hi Molly, They are the same with the exception that the SGS Version I get has 230mg from Broccoli Seed Extract and 30 mg from SGS where as the ES concentrate provides 100 mg. The ES is a bit more costly as well. My nutritionist recommended the SGS version for me so that seems to work. I also found another equally as good that provides 60 mg of SGS by the name of BrocColinate Extra Strength 120 cps that i use now - sending well wishes , Peg

Yes, the oral gel is possibly as much as 8 times more concentrated and so is more economical. It mixes just fine with water if one shakes it up well. A 64-ounce flask, at 1oz./day, will last 64 days!

Yes, it is very strong. Not to my taste. I have to add hot water after I brew the cup on 7.25 oz.

I've tried both,and like both! The capsule last longer obviously and I'm not a consistent tea drinker. That said,I prefer the capsule.

To my taste buds Greek Nescaf is as close to the real deal that my YAYA drank I buy it I have tried Nescaf Classico and it taste like instant coffee NOT like Greek Nescafe

I can't tell that there is any change in how the capsule and medicine is taken in by the body. Consequently, I woould assume that the vegetable-based casings probably break down faster. Hopefully there is smaller inpact on our environment.

Yes it is thick, the consistency of molasses, but they only fill the bottle half full. $20 for 4 ounces. I am not the only one this has happened too. I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing.I am returning both bottles that I purchased. I liked the taste of the Yacon "pure", but as I said before the bottle was only half full.

It looks like one is in capsule form, and the other is a liquid that you take (1/2 tsp.) The blend looks to be the same. I take the caps....

Yes, your body must digest the pill, therefore, it takes longer to get into your system. The liquid form goes immediately to the cells. I have been taking Barlean's liquid OLC for years. I will never switch to another product. This product is great for upper respiratory symptoms and allergies. It keeps me out of the doctor's office! 1 Tablespoon is recommended, but I take 2 Tbsp if symptoms onset. I told my alternative med chiropractor about this product and the high ORAC value. After researching it on his own, he not only uses it now, but sells it in his practice. I got a big thank you for recommending this product to him. Lela F.

Unfortunately, no. The strongest cup of coffee I've made so far was with fresh-ground beans and the 'gold' coffee pod I bought on Amazon. (Really like that, by the way. You can adjust the coarseness and strength of the grounds.) I haven't tried it with "espresso" beans, but would think you could get a pretty stout cup that way. All of this, of course, pretty much cancels out the 'instant' factor touted by the makers of these machines. And I still think the water needs to be hotter to get good flavor extraction.

Think the liquid one is the purest....others have ingredients that end in -ose, which should be avoided. I do use truvia though I prefer the drops.

Hi Jackie, I have been taking essiac for about 15 years and I do not see anything wrong with the packaging. I admit I never looked into the material they use in the package. But I will say 2002 I had my left lung remove and I never had chemo or anything. Told I was going to live less then 6 months and all I ever took was the essiac in that package. Hope this helps.
