Tinctures are generally considered to be safer than pills because they do not contain any synthetic ingredients or fillers. Additionally, tinctures are often more easily absorbed by the body than pills since they enter the bloodstream directly through mucous membranes in the mouth rather than having to pass through digestion first. Here’s what you need to know about both products.
Tinctures have higher absorption
Tinctures are absorbed more quickly, entering the bloodstream faster than pills. The liquid form of tincture makes it easier to consume, as opposed to pills or capsules that require larger amounts of water to swallow them.
Tinctures can be taken in smaller doses, which allows for greater control over the amount of active ingredient being consumed at any given time and ensures better absorption rates than pills or capsules.
Tinctures don’t have mix-ups with other medicinal drugs
Tinctures have fewer side effects and interactions with other medications compared to pills. Despite having fewer effects on other medications, tinctures can lead to reduced effectiveness of the medication.
The active ingredients in tinctures are often highly concentrated and can cause an increase in the potency of other medications when taken together. Many herbal tinctures contain alcohol, which can react negatively with certain medications including anticoagulants, sedatives, and anti-seizure drugs.
Pills have to be digested
Because tinctures are administered directly under the tongue, they bypass first-pass metabolism in the liver, allowing for greater absorption of active ingredients into the bloodstream when compared to oral ingestion of a pill form supplement or medication.
Tinctures are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and liver metabolism. This allows for a more efficient absorption of active ingredients than with pills or capsules.
Tinctures are highly customizable
Many tinctures are customizable for the user. Depending on what type of tincture you are using, there may be different levels of customization available. For example, some companies offer custom blends that can be tailored to a customer’s specific needs and preferences. Additionally, many brands allow customers to choose from a variety of flavors or strengths when ordering their tinctures.
Tinctures can be easily customized to meet individual needs by adjusting dosage size and frequency more precisely than with pills due to their liquid nature. Customizable tinctures can be created by working with a professional herbalist or natural health practitioner who has experience in creating custom-made tinctures. They will be able to tailor the recipe, dosage and ingredients to meet your specific needs and preferences.
Additionally, many online retailers offer customizable tincture blends that allow you to choose from various herbs and ingredients to create your own unique blend of tincture.
Natural preservatives are used in tinctures
Tinctures use natural preservatives that don’t contain chemicals like those used in many pill forms of supplements and medications which can further reduce risk of irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals who may be sensitive to certain chemical additives or artificial colors/flavors found in some pill forms.
