If nothing else, God made me scottish. It is both a failing and a strength. That is why I prefer powders and liquids for supplements because you get twice as much for the money by doing so. You pay for the    capsules themselves, and the amortization of the machinery to put the material in the capsules. Now, if whatever it is will not get by the tastebuds, yes, then I buy the capsules.
Recently, I have been using several herbs as tinctures, because tinctures are also so much cheaper. Saw Palmetto for the prostate and Astragalus for the immune system are examples. I am posting an article from the Bulk Herb Store about making your own tinctures, which would make their cost even lower. By the way, the Herb Store is a wonderful site run by a Christian family in Tennessee that I highly recommend. The more I get into nutrition, the more I have realized that herbs can be an inexpensive alternative to pharmaceuticals. Herb Pharm in Oregon is another company I often buy from and respect. Here is the link to the Bulk Herb Store.
