Taking Strong Tasting Extract Powders

The robustly bitter and earthy tastes of certain extract powders can be intense at first – especially Tongkat Ali, Shilajit, Elephant Mountain Ginseng Formula, RAW Reishi spores and Reishi extract powder When these powders improve in quality and potency, their flavors become more intense and concentrated, resulting in acquired tastes. 

While you grow to appreciate these flavors over time, here are several recommendations to help you incorporate these strong-tasting extract powders into your routine:

  • Pair with Coffee and Herbal Lattes: Many of our extract powders, such as Tongkat Ali and Shilajit, pair well with coffee. The bitterness of the extract complements the coffee, creating a harmonious flavor. Simply add the desired amount directly to your brewed coffee, stir until dissolved, and enjoy. For a coffee alternative, we recommend Dandy Blend™. Prepare it as instructed and add your extract powder, finishing with steamed milk or a milk alternative.
  • Add Sweeteners: If the taste is too strong, natural sweeteners such as honey, agave syrup, maple syrup, or high-quality stevia extract can help balance the flavors. This is particularly useful for powders with a pronounced bitter taste.

Tips for Optimal Extract Powder Use

  • Consistency: Use your extract powders at the same time each day to help form a habit. Consistency ensures you receive the maximum benefits from the supplements.
  • Splitting the Dose: Divide the dosage by taking two-thirds of the suggested serving in the morning and the remaining one-third in the evening.
  • Empty Stomach: For best results, take extract powders on an empty stomach. This promotes thorough digestion and rapid absorption. Avoid eating for at least two hours before and wait at least 30 minutes after taking your extract powder before consuming any food.
  • Storage: Store extract powders in a cool, dry place to preserve their potency and extend shelf life. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to avoid moisture and air exposure.
  • Following Your Circadian Rhythm: For adaptogenic and proandrogenic herbs, we recommend taking these products first thing in the morning, immediately upon waking. This timing aligns with your body’s natural peak in androgenic hormone levels, maximizing the effectiveness of the herbs.
