Use them if you're experiencing digestive problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach capsule contains 500 mg of a 5:1 concentrate — the equivalent of 2500 mg of dried certified organic dandelion whole plant. Whole plant means root and leaf together rather than root alone, which matters: the root is where the bitter and bile-stimulating compounds concentrate, while the leaf contributes the diuretic action and potassium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe alcohol-free part is the reason this exists alongside the tinctures. Most of the St. Francis range is extracted in organic alcohol, which rules it out for anyone avoiding alcohol entirely — for religious reasons, in recovery, or simply by preference. A concentrated capsule delivers the same herb without it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBile flow is the mechanism worth understanding. Bile emulsifies fat so it can be digested, and sluggish bile is a common reason people feel heavy after a rich meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSt. Francis Herb Farm has been making herbal preparations in Ontario since 1988, using certified organic alcohol and distilled water, and stating extraction ratios so you know the strength of what you are taking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho St. Francis Dandelion Capsules Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis suits anyone avoiding alcohol who still wants a properly concentrated herbal extract, and people who prefer capsules to measuring drops. It also travels far better than a dropper bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsult a practitioner before use if you have liver or gall bladder disease or intestinal obstruction, and if symptoms worsen or persist.
