What are the advantages of the capsule form over decoctions and infusions? — LICORIC ROOT CAPSULES N100 450MG - SWANSON (Licorice Root)

Traditionally, liquorice was taken as decoctions, infusions and syrups, which takes time to prepare and leaves a recognisable, richly sweet aftertaste. The capsule form resolves both of these features at once.

Firstly, each capsule contains a standard amount of plant raw material (450 mg of root), so there is no need to measure out the herb yourself or to judge the strength of a decoction. Secondly, the capsule is swallowed whole, and the characteristic sweet taste of liquorice, which not everyone likes, is practically not noticeable.

This format is easy to fit into a routine for those who prefer herbs without brewing: the capsule can be taken at home, at work or on a journey, with a glass of water. This makes the supplement practical for those who want to add a classic plant component to their diet but are not ready to prepare infusions every day.
