How does oak bark differ from capsules and extracts, and who is it suitable for?

The main feature of FARMGRUPP Tammekoor is that it is a single-ingredient product: just oak bark, with no other herbs, fillers or additional active substances. Unlike capsules and standardised extracts, here you work with natural dried herbal material and prepare the infusion yourself.

This format is usually chosen by those who prefer classic herbal remedies without complex formulas and want to control the preparation process. Oak bark is valued above all for its high content of tannins — natural compounds with pronounced astringent properties: on contact with mucous membranes they form a thin protective film. This is why such herbal material is traditionally used in herbal medicine at times when you want to treat your digestion and mucous membranes more gently.

It is worth bearing in mind the difference in approach: capsules offer the convenience of a fixed dose, whereas dry bark is measured out by you — according to the label, 1 teaspoon (2 g) per 200 ml of boiling water — and this requires care. Oak bark is not used during pregnancy, while breastfeeding or in case of individual intolerance to its ingredients, and for everyone else the label recommends consulting a doctor before use.
