7. is there a benefit of taking a spray versus a pill?
Yes! (at least we think so!)
Liquid extracts are commonly considered better absorbed, and often more quickly absorbed, because they allow us to be less dependent on metabolism and digestion processes which can vary drastically between individuals.
The plant extract is also much better preserved via the use of ethanol, rather than dried (particularly if it’s powdered). In a dispensary, dried herbs are considered to lose efficacy at 6 months but for ethanol and water extracts (similar to what we use at sofi) the shelf-life is much longer (and can be up to several years).
