Hi, does anyone know if there is any difference between the extract and the capsule form of SP? Time to buy more and I have been wondering about this, so far I have only purchased the softgels, but the others are more expensive, are they better? Thanks for your help! -- Sissy

Are you comparing the whole herb with extract? If so, extract would be more expensive because it's concentrated. Many herbalists don't like using extract though and much prefer the totally natural whole herb.

My gels are 360mg and are extract, "standarized berry". So should I be taking the capsules, which are a powered form? I bought them because the others were lower dose and these were cheaper at Walmart if I remember correctly, but if the others are better, I'll just order online. I'd rather spend more and get a better product. Thanks.

It's hard to say which is better. Some herbalists like the whole herb because that's completely natural, whereas others prfer extracts because they are more concentrated and mean taking less pills. There's no general agreement on which should be considered better.

I appreciate the input. I want to take the right products to get the most benefit. I take 12+ capsules a day of other products, adding more is not something I would look forward to because they don't go down as easily. If the herb capsules are better than the little gels, I might make the switch to see if I notice anything. Thanks!
